Taipan Veteran II - Service and adjustments

#airgun #taipanairguns #taipan #veteran #service
In-depth video covering complete disassembly, trigger mechanism and pressure regulator adjustments and maintenance of critical components of the Taipan Veteran II.
If you have ever shot or handled the Taipan Veteran, you know how well-made and accurate it is. The gun received an overwhelming reception and was highly praised for its accuracy and excellent trigger. As the time moves on, so does technology and trends in the airgun world and this applies to Taipan as well. And now the time has finally come to present to you its latest iteration - the Veteran II.
It is so much more than just an upgraded version of the first-gen Veteran. Think of it as a completely new rifle, which builds upon the success of its predecessor and takes it even further.
Veteran II received a number of major improvements and chief among them is the completely reworked cocking mechanism, which was moved forward to be placed just above the trigger - in the perfect reach of your trigger finger. The side lever also has an exceptionally smooth action and you can now easily switch it to the other side of the rifle.
The free floating barrel is another prominent new feature. Unlike the original Taipan, the barrel is now completely free of any bands. This means that the barrel will always hold your zero and won’t be susceptible to weather conditions or the movement of the other parts of the rifle.
The barrel is also fully shrouded and its twist rate was especially designed for slugs. In addition, both variants of the Veteran II come with an external sound moderator which is interchangeable on both guns.
The pressure regulator has also been tweaked for increased performance. The air tank's maximum working pressure is 300 bar.
The 20 MOA Picatinny rail on the top of the barrel is in the same axis with the barrel and offers an unparalleled accuracy.
The only thing that remained the same is the trigger mechanism. You can’t improve on perfection as they say and the trigger on the Veteran II is as crisp as ever. Manual safety is still placed in front of the trigger as well.

Thanks for making this video. I just purchased a Taipan Veteran 2 tactical and this will be a valuable aid when it comes time to do service on it. Very well made video!

[@EdBraunbeck]

Are the bolt heads metric or standard?

[@craigcurrie5536]

This video is excellent! Thank you for making it. (Toto video je vynikající! Děkujeme, že jste to udělali.)

Very good gun. I have just sold my Taipan I just to buy Taipan Veteran II. Good deals in Balistas.

[@antj211]

The side lever can not be changed from one side to the other. I’d like to see a demonstration because I tried and it doesn’t work

[@captaincaveman.2393]

I have a Taipan Veteran 2, exactly like the one in the beginning of the video, I’m having issues with the cocking system, it doesn’t want to fully cock all the time can you please make a video on how to tune or repair this issue, thank you

[@BALISTAS]

Hello, in this case please contact our service using the e-mail you can find on our website.

[@captaincaveman.2393]

@@BALISTAS thank you, I will do that now, the gun is new and was intermittently doing it now it won’t adjust at all

[@PLAYU72]

My next pcp will be probably a taipan veteran II tac 550 barrel. Its pellet friendly or its only for slugs?

[@BALISTAS]

It is compatible with both, slugs and pellets

[@francisfaustino]

Does the barrel have an o-ring where it goes into the breach like the Veteran 1?

[@BALISTAS]

Hello, Taipan Veteran I and II have the same o-rings. Taipan Tactical II has different.

Krása, teším sa až bude doma 😌 ešte by ma zaujímalo či budú v dohľadnej budúcnosti barrel kity, alebo nejaká zmena kalibrov. Ďakujem

@@taipan-airguns Je to pochopiteľné že spravili video v AJ nakoľko veľa užívateľov je zo zahraničia. A o nový Taipan bude podľa mňa veľký záujem hlavne v zahraničí :) Sám mám jednu objednanú 700mm verzia tac. Bol by som vďačný keby sa mi vyjadril sám výrobca o akú presne ide hlaveň vo verzii 700mm kaliber 6.35mm nakoľko som presne nezistil či ide o klasickú 12 drážkovú hlaveň czub alebo slugovú hlaveň. Ďakujem

[@slavaslovanom1078]

Mohli by ste urobiť video aj ohľadom fx panthera 😊
