Hello, Ive got my taipan veteran that will not cycle the magazine after firing. Anyone else had this ? quick fix? Had this veteran for a coule of years now and it was flawless till now.
Tuning Taipan Veteran will not cycle magazine
- Thread starter Sky.A
- Start date
FIRST I would try and be sure ALL of your different magazines dont cycle before disassembling the gun. Even try running empty magazines then click and fire see if that even cycles the empty magazine be sure to shoot blank shots. If that helps maybe oil it a little.
You could try to bump the receiver many times with a rubber mallet while cocking and firing in case the actuator is stuck due to dust and grit buildup first too.

Mine didn't cycle when i adjust hammer spring tension very low for low power shooting. When i adjust it up again it cycle normal again.

THAT is noteworthy thanks! I have one of mine REAL backed down so at least I know just in case it stops cycling.

Try ALL of the other possible solutions including swapping EMPTY MAGAZINES and banging it lubing and even upping the hammer spring tension as the other guy mentioned BEFORE taking it apart.
Taking it apart is the LAST RESORT (and also learning a foreign language but I would just put it on MUTE and watch) and put on Ariana Grande non stop.
Could be maybe even as simple as adjusting a trigger heavier never know.

Look to see if the small ball bearing is still in place where the magazine slides into...if missing the mag won't cycle.

Well in the process of repairing I managed to mess up one of the allen screws holding down the breech. By any chance does any one have the thread size for screw?

You could unscrew a good undamaged one and match it with a hardware store replacement. Just try and screw in many nuts in their drawers to yours then you know to find a replacement that also screws onto.
What exactly was the issue with your gun and what was done to get it working again?
Did listening to Ariana Grande help?

Had to take apart as per video you linked. Squeeze lower pin in as in video and viola worked. No Arianna Grande, just turned off volume LOL. Thanx again !

One of my pet peeves, small screws that are over tightened by some dimwit in assembly, or worse, put in with a thread locking compound, which is rarely needed. I stripped the heads of two, 2mm hex heads on my Red Wolf, had to drill them out. Two fingers on a screw driver, doesn't need to be any tighter.

Hi Amigo. I have done some videos in English in my YouTube channel but this video in particular I didn't because despite I know English to have a common talk, I don't know all the technical names of the parts. So I'm sorry about that but if anyone has a doubt or any other problem with their airguns I can try to help. 
.
BTW my last video on YouTube is about a Taipan mutant. Service and repair.

you're right.. I'll consider to make subtitles next time Hi Amigo. I have done some videos in English in my YouTube channel but this video in particular I didn't because despite I know English to have a common talk, I don't know all the technical names of the parts. So I'm sorry about that but if anyone has a doubt or any other problem with their airguns I can try to help.
