Yes JB bore paste and JB bore bright. Bright is red and finer grit.That's what I remember, just wanted to make sure. So simple and rewarding. JB come in different grits?
I think it might be because they are a harder alloy compared to JSBs. I will say mine has a looser bore compared to what I remember on my CZ barrels. I roughly slugged mine around a .217/.214.The JTS felt as if they chambered harder in my CZ barrels and were not as accurate. They did fine in my Dreamline barrel but I feel it is a looser fitting bore.
I'm impressed with them too. Maybe not as consistent as the 18gr but could have been me too. I will be trying them more. If I can't get them as good as the 18gr I'll bump them down to say 920fps instead of the 960fps to save air and likely tighten up groups alittle.Great job on the repair. And you're first group with the 22.07g JTS looks good. My standard really likes it . I should check the fps . I imagine it's in the low to mid 800s . But I can't argue with the accuracy.
Wow that's the exact same thing mine had. Crazy. The before and after of your pellets are basically the same as what mine were. I did do pics of groups before and after though lol. Glad we both figured it out in our own ways and made them work. This isn't my first Taipan and I agree on bullpups, I rather have a short carbine. But something about these Taipans are just special, even with the rear cocking. But yes it's a great shooter and am enjoying it just as much as my Evol Mini and that's my top dog the last couple years. I think it'll hold its own against it but it's gotta stand the test of time which I'm sure it will as these rarely do ever have an issue. Makes you wonder how many others have had this issue but had no clue....I picked up a used Vet Long in .22 a while back and it shot rather well as I received it, but not as good as I thought it could.
I pulled the barrel and found a slightly "grabby" feeling crown when pushing a pellet through. Put it in my little lathe and buzzed a new crown on it and it shoots extremely well now.
Funny, although unfortunate, to see that someone else found the same. Looks like you got yours dialed in and working well, glad to see that! As much as I hate bullpups, I am still very impressed with this Taipan. They are cool guns. Hope you enjoy yours now that you have it performing well
Semi worthless thread about Taipan accuracy issues.
So I bought a Taipan Long in .22 It shot pretty damn well honestly, but seemed to be somewhat finicky with a flier pretty regularly. And being overly critical, I thought it could do better. As I like to do with any new gun I pulled the barrel to give her a good look over and push a pellet...www.airgunnation.com
