Sweet! Thanks for sharing

Love the checkering... and is that an adjustable buttplate i see?

Let's hope they start carrying the stock option here in the USA!

I've been waiting for this. The checkering is a nice touch. I hope they do offer this in the US. Interesting observations. They advertise that the laminate stock is made in Italy. I wonder if they contracted Minelli to do their stocks. Also noticed on the breach block that it says "Made in Czech Republic". It's very confusing.

Wonder if you can just buy the stock..

This is cool. Just when I thought my Taipan Veteran couldn't get any cooler. Well, how do we get one? I've tried to find Magazines for my Taipan Mutant back in the day and it was like a scavenger hunt lol. Seems like the Taipans come in small waves out here.

Is it a 25 Looooong? Can't wait

Also, the .25 has a CZ barrel now it appears.

I read on an Eastern European forum that a Czech guy helped with the stock redesign, maybe they moved the final assembly to CZ so the export import is easier these days. seen these in a cz shop they had 100in stock

Hello guys, 

Here is my video about the new Taipan Veteran and your wrong information in USA. Please share with those, who do not believe that they are not fake from Czech Republic

Production of the main body and some other parts still take place in Ukraine. But whole assembly, new packing, supplying barrels, new wooden and laminated stock are made by Czech guys But more in video..

I inquired about this exact topic last week - here is the response I got on 4/24 from Matthew at RL Airgun Supply:

Last word from the U.S. importer was that those models were designed for the EU and Asian market. At this time we are not sure if those models will make it to the US.

Hi Matt,

Laminated stock are supplied by the Czech Company which has all markets except the USA. The Ukraine guys kept the US for them but there is something in the air, that everything will come under the Czech company I hope that it will not be long for you guys in US. If you have any transport ideas to US, maybe I can make something just for the stock

MansWorld, what is the relationship between the Bullet Project and Balistas, looks to be a subsidiary? I hope that smell in the air isn’t a whiff of a price increase! I’ve grown accustomed to my homely wood stock, great looking targets, and MOST importantly at a very reasonable price.
