Tuning Taipan Veteran, something different

[Dyn11]

Hi from France, this is my first post but i've been watching here since 2016.
I bought this .22 VET in 2018 at Balistas (CZ), I quickly understood the quality and performance of this gun.

I also looked for how to adjust the cocking lever system to my preference, with a very low weight, and ridiculous cost.
Taipan takes way too long to come up with a new version, and I finally found the time to work on my garage.
Also, thanks to mtnGhost for his project here and I hope it will succeed soon.

Below this is my mod with custom front lever, perfectly fonctional and it retains the original cocking smoothness.
I just need to rework a new carbon plate to allow location of the lower finger, currently the carbon tube hits with the lower lever part at the end of the travel...
Enjoy.

Aluminum bar and carbon plate machined with a file and a column drill.
6mm OD / 3mm ID carbon tube and M3 RC ball joint.
VO 34mm continental HD 5-30x56 ffp scope.
Submoasystems butt plate.
Donny FL Ronin.
Front rest for the pictures only, i use this gun in standing shooting chalenge only.

Remy.

WOW! Excellent craftsmanship! I hope Taipan sees this post and copies your lead!

Very cool set up, I am supposed to be getting my new to me Veteran today. Super excited to see how it works out.

Excellent! That forward cocking is about the only thing that is "lacking" on a Vet.

Welcome to AGN too

Thank you all, it's a pleasure to share...
About Taipan, if one day a new version arrives I would like its price to remain contained.
Reputation isn't everything.

I would pay stupid good money to have that done to my Tactical Taipan Veteran!
