Taipan veteran power tune.

[hunt439]

Does anyone know who does power tuning for the taipan veteran? I am looking to get mine a boost and accuracy tune. Thanks guys

Mike Or does anyone have contact information for Ernest so I can see what he can do with it?

Power is already their. Just adjust your hammer spring tension for power. Clean your barrel and adjust velocity for projectile accuracy.

Thank you grimm, I didnt clean the barrel as good as I should have. It is shooting good but I am not reaching the 62 ft pound advertised power. I guess cleaning and breaking it in will make it closer tho what I want. I was thinking maybe Ernest could do his magic and get a lot more power while maintaining accuracy. Butt what it is now is a hunter for sure.

Shoot HEAVIER projectiles ... unless your gun flats lines due to a lack of sufficient pressure the power generally increases with pellet weight.



Tho said ... ACCURACY trumps power every time IMO

I have my .25 cal. Veteran shooting 33.95 JSBs @ 865 FPS with the regulator set to 145 bar, I get 50 good shots. It goes off the regulator at about shot 44 - 45. I could get 920 FPS by turning up the hammer spring and probably more by turning up the regulator but the accuracy declines and the shot count drops to 40.

I think the Vets come pretty good to go out of the box, but.... I would give Charlie at GA Airguns a call. He does work on them & may be able to answer your questions. He won’t up sale you anything you don’t need.

I can tell you I was at his shop one day, and I saw a small target he keeps from a Vet, single hole at like 40 yards or something like that.

Thanks for all the help guys. I do think I need to clean the barrel better. Its a new long version and I just want max potential without accuracy loss. Like yall said it does a heck of a good job out of the box. Does anyone know where the factory regulator is set at for the .25 long? and how to increase it if I decide to tinker a bit?

My regulator was set at 152 bar. Ernest has a video on how to adjust the regulator. But take his advice and mine don't touch it if you don't have regulator tester. I tried adjusting mine without a tester and it was a pain. I wont do that again. Their is no markings on the regulator to tell you what you are adjusting it to. I have had my gun apart to many times. It is a rabbit hole you do not want to go down if you don't have a tester.

About 2 weeks will have a 2” reg tube plenum extension available, gets about 30-45fps more without increasing reg pressure. Taipan barrels don't like high speed, so switch over to Fx STX 500, 600, 700mm. 34gn slug around 975-1000FPS

Does anyone have a picture of the breech end of a taipan barrel. Or happen to know the thread size and pitch? Thanks
