Meet the Taipan Mutant….(updated)
.22 cal multi shot.
Heres the whole family…. :8: :8: :8:
yeh the baby is only 22.75″ long….
These don’t discriminate… left or right. Just flip the linkage over and away you go. (this is a pic of the Taipan 2 but they are basically the same, Predesessor of the mutant)
Pretty sweet trigger if i might add…
I will have more info to follow in the coming days…. I figure i would at least throw some pics up …. and get this ball rolling.
They made in Ukraine…..
and now they are available in the US…..
The manufacture claims….
60 shots at 34 FPE…. 250 bar fill .22 cal.
They use CZ barrels…
also avail in .17 cal.
I filled one up tonight to 200 bar and loaded a magazine with jsb 18’s …. it shot 943-947 the whole 12 shots
These come with a soft case. 2 12 round mags.( they fit the Pred’s and other long pellets) a single shot tray, fill probe, orings and tools to adjust the Hammer spring. and to remove the baffles from the shroud….
Tommarow i will take some more pictures and start shooting these…

Dman,
Based on Ernest’s number, here is the string graph.
It does look great.
If the air tube volume is 250 cc, the air efficiency would be 16.2 cc/fpe, and if the size is 200 cc, the number would be 13 cc/fpe, which is slightly higher than the Edgun ~11.5 to 12 cc/fpe. I believe if the Mutant were tuned to the optimal conditions, the air efficiency would come close or better than the Edgun. :8:
Congratulations to have such a fine BP in every aspect.
Regards,
Endo
I don’t want to give out any false info. But they will be on the next shipment. We are working on getting everything planned out. …. as soon as i have confirmed info i will let everyone know
When do the shortys arrive D ?
and I’m not saying this as a sales point but I’m saying this cause its the truth…. take it for what it is.
They have Perfected the cycling of the magazine. These guns cycle so smooth that if i closed my eyes and you removed the mag i could not tell the difference. Im very impressed. Ive owned a royale 500 a bobcat, and an hmx 1000 and a cricket compact….. The cocking/cycling of this gun i would put it at the top!!! its that smooth.
Yeh i wasn’t joshing here….
on a different note This has got to be one of the most efficient Bullpups out there. right there with the edgun. I asked the Manufacture how many CC the STD is. he said around 200cc (yeah right i didn’t wanna believe him)
so tonight i did some measurements (really rough measurements) ID of tube and length (NOT including valve, regulator or from plug. and i came up with 250cc.
so once you add in all the guts I’m thinking its around that 200cc size. Which absolutely has me scratching my head. this dam thing is efficient. :8: :8:
Very nice lockwork ! Quality appears to be on par with Smith & Wesson revolvers !
Thanks Ernest

Just watched the trigger linkage video. It reminds me of my bench rest days 25 years ago. Very nice. I have not seen anything like that in an airgun I can remember.
Nice video !
Don’t know yet, I was told it did
Magazine index system Video: http://youtu.be/Hq1E-dkusUg

Cool – does it have it’s own reg design?
Straight from the box, just lower the speed to 900fps, came shootng them around 940—just to fast for me!
Will post video of the trigger adjustment and how the mag index and single shot tray loading.
The air tube is the same length as the cricket standard.
Best quality trigger system and mag index I seen in an Air Gun, more to fallow in details while dissembling the Mutant
will post another string when I lap and polish the barrel!
you know I cant find a serial # anywhere!!! Strange
Tomorrow I’ll make one for the trigger and mag index
