    Tuning Power Plenum a NoGo (Taipan Veteran)

    Installed the Power plenum on my Taipan last night, and found that the gun would not refill with air. After trying for a little while it even stopped taking air into the fill valve. It took me awhile to figure it out last night, but was able to get check valve unstuck, but still not filling with...

    Tuning .25 Taipan Veteran Long to Mod or Hold Off ?

     I polished my barrel over the weekend, and I will have to shoot some groups to verify that it got rid of the flyer issue I mentioned on another thread. I do intend on buying a slug barrel in the future to make this a more long range setup. I did purchase a huma regulator set to 145bar, power...

    Another Barn Invader Down

    Went to the warehouse that I have permission to eliminate the groundhogs at tonight. I positioned myself on the end of the fence row to give me a good angle on the two sides they have holes on. One end is an open stall that used to house a horse which they no longer have, so there are straw...

    Tuning Possible reason for flyers...what is the best fix?

    After sighting in Taipan Veteran Long .25, I noticed a flyer in about every group. After recommendation from members I have gone through different areas of the mags, screws, and other possible things that one can easily check. I found that the mags did have a tiny burr inside the hole in both...

    Best small diameter suppressor for Taipan with pwr plenum

    I just purchased the power plenum and some additional parts with the intention of putting in a slug barrel in my .25 Taipan in the next few months. However. the plenum causes the air cylinder to protrude past the shroud, making both of my 1.6 diameter donnyfl suppressors a No-Go. It appears...

    Taipan's Got a Nasty Bite

    My nephew is home from the Marines on leave from California right now, so my parents and I took him and his girlfriend fishing to private pond. I however took my Taipan to play with at longer range and check my zero (48 yards by Chairgun optimization for 1" kill zone). Set up and shot my first...

    Next airgun Taipan Veteran or ???

    I am thinking about picking up the Veteran long in either .22 or .25 cal, but couldn't find any info on what barrel was being used in each one. I have heard the CZ barrels are better than the LW barrels. From what I can tell there are few complaints about them, with most individuals having only...

    Compressor and bottle suggestions for my budget

    To start off, I will have a budget of just under $1300, but willing to wait to pay a little more, within a few hundred, if significant increase in quality dictates. I am looking to set up CF bottle and compressor, but can wait on bottle if spending the entire amount leads to a quality...

    what scales for weighing pellets and slugs

    As I was going through and organizing some stuff today I found a few different bags of slugs, as well as a bunch of slugs and pellets that have fallen out of their tins. I do have the .22 pellet gage to sort for size, but I have nothing to verify weight. I know alot of individuals that...

    Had to stay home and wait on the FedEx guy today, as I had to sign for my Fx crown mk2 . Unfortunately it cost me 6hrs of vacation time, as their stated window is 9-5, arriving at most 10 minute before my normal end of day. Anyway on to the good stuff! I happen to get my Vortex Diamondback...

    FX Crown Mark 2 on it's way

    I have had an on and off again relationship with high end PCP rifles for some time, owning a 30 cal bobcat Mark 2 and the Streamline. It's been mostly dictated by the lack of air filling places nearby, and prices of compressors. With the way the airgun industry has advanced, there are now more...

    Options for filling gun and small bottle

    I just ordered a new airgun that is feed by a 480cc bottle. Although, it's not my first big air reservoir gun (30 cal bobcat had that honor) I don't intend to pump the new one. My typical usage is low, so I think a buddy bottle that allows a couple of fills, and a compressor that can fill gun...

    Help finding new PCP that likes slugs.

    So I mainly use my Airguns to eliminate squirrels, groundhogs, and other nuisance pest. My Benjamin Marauder really liked the 19gr NSA .22 slugs, but they are no longer being made. I am trying to tune for either the 17.5 or 20.2 grain slugs, but currently it appears that the flat nose and...

    .217/.218 Slug investigation

    I have been testing slugs in a Lothar-walther barreled airgun and noticed for the same tune that a slug of .217 Dia. is slightly slower than a slug of .218 Dia. However at their best velocity for accuracy, the .217 Dia. wins every time. I believe this is due to the reduced ID of the choke...
