On the Taipan Veteran 2, does anyone know what the thread is at the muzzle end?

I emailed Taipan and was told that the threads are M15 x 1.25. After I informed Talon Tunes of the incorrect barrel, he updated his website to say that the barrel fits only the Veteran 2, although his listing says M16 x 1.5 threads. I'm inclined to believe what Taipan has told me directly. In either case, M15 or M16, not common moderator threads for airguns. Taipan also told me that they are releasing an adapter later on to step the M15 threads down to UNF. Why they even got rid of the UNF in the first place, I don't understand.

They wanted customers to use the factory issue.

Had some former co-workers over today for dinner and drinks. We had a little airgun competition. My friend who now lives in North Carolina mentioned he was struggling to put the lights out on some ground hogs with his 177. I showed him my semi-retired Gamo Viper 22 that was sighted in with a BSA 3-9x40mmAO scope at 25Yds and he tried a few shots with Red Fires. The deal was done and it was GONE just like that. I was sitting here now going through the forum and had a pang of separation anxiety!

Don’t feel bad it went to someone you know and it’s going to take care of pests.

Looking forward to the reveal… thanks…

Not sure what you mean about new companies producing new pellets; these are produced by JSB.

A quick comment regarding safety. The 1077 is designed for CO2, from which we can reasonably infer it is safe for hot day CO2 pressures topping out around 1800psi or so.

If you elect to change the 1.8k burst disk for a 3k, make absolutely certain the gun is safe for potentially being exposed to the full pressure of the bottle.

If you will be adopting an approach which use a dummy CO2 cartridge to feed HPA to the valve, that is usually both safer and simpler than pressurizing the tube.

I’ve reshimmed a paintball regulator before to boost the pressure up to around 1100 psi, but I wouldn’t want to both reset the regulator pressure and replace the burst disc unless I beefed up the other components to deal with the new potential pressure.

Looking for some well priced bsa/gamo 177 caliber magazines. Have stuff to trade or can buy if price is right. Thanks

When would you say was the best Era for production air rifle stocks? I like pics if ya got em...

Simple. When the good late Dr. Beeman imported the Weihrauch brand with gorgeous Gaudy Beechwood stocks. 1980’s.
And the Walnut Tryrolean stocks of the 60’s and early 70’s.

POW......ZOOM...... RIGHT TO THE MOON!!

That little bugger took off like a bat outta hell!

Nice shot

Selling Saber Tactical Arca swiss rail (Gen 1) for FX Impact. Like new condition $100 shipped. PPFF or G&S you pay fees

As much as I love shooting my Impact, they leveled the forrest that I normally shoot at and started building another sub-division. So now since I have no place to shoot, I'm going to focus on my other hobbies for a bit.

I purchased my rifle from Utah Airguns in December or 2022 so it should still under warranty. Along with everything you see pictured, it will also come in its original hard case (so yes that means the gun actually includes the scope and the bipod). I will also throw in an unopened tin of FX Pellets, 2 sleeves of unopened FX Hybrid Slugs and the FX Bag for the bag rider for free. I also have a few of additional accessories that can be purchased separately.

FX Impact M3 .30cal Sniper w/ 700mm barrel and 580cc bottle

FX/DonnyFL Moderator ($65)

What about a Red or Alpha Wolf high power or safari edition? I prefer the classic format and wood stock over the bullpup format and tactical look.

Then if one of those models will do I am back to deciding .22 versus .25 for slugs, again. Or possibly a .257 barrel?

Thank you,

Taso

Here is my blown out o ring that I got out in about 2 seconds using my 2 dollar harbor freight pick set.also the harbor freight micro tweezer tools to put the new o ring back in. Again Thanks a Billion.

Get yourself a few Carm/Maple mags (M1 Garand uses clips, air guns use magazines) and you will be even more extatic!

The single loader from there is great too.

I use all of the above except I mount a Blue poster board on a target stand about 10 or 15 yards away to look at while adjusting the scope. A lot easier than trying to focus on the sky.

If I had to pick a reliable air rifle, I’d go with my AA S510. Got it in 2017, and all I have done is buy pellets for it. Can be found used for good price and hits the same zero every time I pick it up.

the breech would work but the breech screw hole is larger than the 2240 screw hole
the trigger assembly would screw on
the tube on the SSP is longer and uses a different cap and a different thread on the cap
the 2240 barrel and the SSP250 barrels are not interchangeable
now would i mix and match parts from the SSP250 and the 2240, maybe but maybe not
you can see in this picture the breech side of the tube line up but the 250 tube doesn't have the slot cut because it has the pull back hammer
the valve in the 250 looks to be much bigger
and some Diana 5G mag or P5 info

Great information thanks.

It has been very windy in Indiana the last three days.

Finished a day of "getting ready for spring" chores about 4:30 and decided I had time to shoot the 25 reactive spinner target course before calling it a day. The targets range from 25 to 90 yards, with the 25 and 35 yard spinners only 15mm in size. The balance of targets range from 1" to 2 1/2" with usually a small one and large one at each distance interval.

The last couple of days I shot the .22 Panthera 700mm with 34 Gr heavy slugs and the .25 King with the 50 Gr Altaros. They sliced through the strong winds out to 90 yards with perfect precision, almost as if the wind didn't exist.

Today, for something different, I grabbed the .22 Daystate Wolverine HP Regulated out of the vault. Its favorite pellet is the H&N Baracuda Match 21.14 Gr. Same strong winds and while not as powerful as this King or Panthera, I managed to run the course in the wind with the same result - an absolutely solid platform, shooting from a bag rest using a Hawke 6-24x56 Sidewinder with the mil reticle.

It was so much fun I shot 4 mags and I still had 50 bar left before it would have dropped off of the regulator.

Love my Gamo Magnum GR .25. Hard to cock. But accurate and hits hard.
Shoulders perfectly for me. Trigger was pretty good out of the box. But a couple small adjustments and it was good

Very impressive for 199.99 with scope and shipping.

Very good condition with the only blemishes being light ring rash…focuses down to 10 yards…mil dot reticle…1/4 MOA adjustments…$150 TYD in CONUS PayPal preferred
