    Scott, I'll get some pictures posted up tomorrow. I wouldn't be surprised at all if I somehow botched it up. Thanks everyone for the replies so far! Your comments are all appreciated.

    I'm not sure what exactly you are referencing when you say throat, but I did this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7r1LG_n9XnU

    Tuning Taipan Veteran Leak

    I've assembled and disassembled multiple times now, touched up the face of the valve with some very fine grit emery cloth. However, I still seem to have a leak coming out of the port with the grub screw. That o-ring has been changed out, and I've also tried applying some silicone oil to it. Is...

    Tuning Taipan Veteran Leak

    That's the only thing that makes sense to me. I'm guessing that delrin "poppet" isn't correctly sealing against the valve face, allowing air to go through to the barrel. Perhaps a quick blast of air will get it to seat, perhaps I need to touch up the face of that valve some more.

    Tuning Taipan Veteran Leak

    I didn't even think to check my spares, thanks! So I changed out the O-ring from the spare kit (thanks again!), along with hitting the valve face with some emery cloth to get it really polished up. I still can't get fill the airgun up, even with pellets in the barrel. There doesn't appear to be...

    Tuning Taipan Veteran Leak

    An o-ring is much easier to fix then having to replace the other parts! Do you know what size o-ring that is by chance?

    🔴 Slugs --- Testing How Much They Expand and How Far They Penetrate

    Expansion/penetration tests don't mean much unless you shoot them into the exact medium that you want the results for. Ballistics gelatin is homogenous, animals are not at all. How a projectile performs in ballistics gelatin is not indicative at all of how it will perform in an animal. Cool...

    Tuning Taipan Veteran Leak

    Unfortunately I can't even fill it up, it won't fill up past 10 or 20 bar. I am filling it with a Air Venturi Nomad compressor, so perhaps it needs a bottle to provide a quick burst of air.

    Tuning Taipan Veteran Leak

    Okay, so tried both the silicon grease and double loading pellets, and have found that a new leak path has emerged, it's now leaking through the hole where the grub screw for the transfer port resides. Any idea why it might be coming out of that hole?

    Tuning Taipan Veteran Leak

    Will this accomplish anything different then plugging the barrel with a foam ear plug?

    Tuning Taipan Veteran Leak

    No quick blast of air, since I only have an air Venturi nomad compressor. I did put an ear plug at the end of the barrel, just in case it needed some back pressure to help some valves seat (I have to do this to fill up my Brocock Bantam when I don't have a bottle available to give it a quick...

    Tuning Taipan Veteran Leak

    Okay, I've been fighting this issue for a little while now, and may need some opinions on what's going on. I decided to mod my transfer port for more power in my .22 long veteran, in an attempt to shoot the RD monsters around 950 fps. I did the mod per Ernest Rowe's YouTube video. I also...

    Taipan Veteran Leak Help

    Okay, I think I may have found the culprit. There's an area on the sealing face of the transfer port that looks like there's been some flow by. If you look just above the red arrow, you can see evidence of some gas flow. So I'm assuming this leaves me with two options: 1. Find a machinist to...

    Taipan Veteran Leak Help

    Sorry, what exactly are you suggesting needs a good whack with a rubber mallet? I did not remove the hammer and spring, I could try that to see if that helps.
