Taipan Veteran barrel identification

[Raysfan]

I recently acquired an Taipan Veteran .22 cal made in the Ukraine. How do I know if it has a cz barrel? Are there any makers marks?
Thanks all

I've handled 5 or 6 OEM Veteran barrels at this point......there are absolutely zero identifying marks to determine LW vs CZ.
Of those that I've handled, they all had the same 12 land and groove, cut rifling and excessively tight chokes, the choke seeming to be Taipan's requested specs to whoever is machining their barrels (whether LW or CZ).

How it shoots is more important.

It shoots spot on, I was just curious. Thank you for the information.

As far I know.. the you have like 90% possibility of this gun having a CZ barrel..by the mark on the block only .. because those were the first ones to arrive to us, with cz barrels. this is the marking you should look for..

This other marking..only good knows what barrel has ..

The "cz" might just mean the gun is made or assembled in czech republic, and have nothing to do with the barrel.

i'm not sure about the Veteran barrels but the Mutant .22 CZ barrels have three dots on the top off the barrel about 2" from the back end. Hope this helps
