This past winter I received a Veteran Standard in .177 Went about a full re-tune and internals change to optimize the caliber.

** Here a few days ago .... RECEIVED a New Veteran Shorty ( Compact ) expecting to find it identical and having the mods above replicated exactly.
The TRANSFER PATH size in this newest VET was a MASSIVE .266" diameter !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ( This would feed a .25 or .30 no problem )
Valve seat was the strangle point of the system having a throat of only @ .194", tho the transfer path leaving seat a large .250" WHOA WHAT A MISMATCH !!
So for you folks that like to tinker, find improvement solutions etc .... AND HAVE A SMALL CALIBER VETERAN, there is much one can do so your TAIPAN is better calibrated to run more efficiently should you care ?
