Needing a little more power
On my Veteran 22 can I just change out the hammer spring and get a little more FPS ?
Same goes for my Mutant 22 ?

Tim I’ll make you the same offer drop me a pm and I’ll send you a shim also.
Hi Mike
Yes I did get the addy will get it out in the mail in the morning.

Did you get my address I sent you?
Mike
Was machining some 1/2″ rod aluminum and cut a shim for the hammer spring. Will give about another coil of adjustment. If you want one for your Vet Mike. PM me your address and I’ll stick one in the mail. Should give ya some more power out of the spring you are using now.
I used my standard mutant hammer spring adjuster for sizing it.
Tim
Yep I am with you on the little extra oomph,
I think a spring is all me need,
I will get around to calling Tony next week for sure,
Mike
I am only looking for another 20fps give or take. I was told with the taipan you need a regulator tool to read the regulator setting, since is comes with no markings. I agree you can only hit so hard but I am not sure if a little more spring would hurt. So I was going to test one and see.
Racing season is just over been real busy,
I have not called Tony yet on the springs,
I just need a little nudge out of my Veteran 22 (18gr)and 25 (25gr)to bring the speed up to low 900 FPS
Now my Mutant 22 will take a little more than a spring to bring it up to speed, Its 16 gr pellets are at about 816 FPS,

Just give Tony a call on the spring,
Mike
I would think you will need to adjust the regulator a little to get much.
Your only going to be able to hit the hammer so hard and then your not going to get anymore out of the rifle, and your just knocking the heck out of this entire area of the rifle for nothing but wear and tear.
Bump the reg up and you can back the hst off most of the time, then when you get the slugs out you run yhe hst in for those.
Just sayin’
What spring did you end up replacing it with? I would like to upgrade my hs to a slightly heavier spring to send the nsa slugs a little faster.
Taipan veteran .22. I have found a video now, will see if it is M17mmx1mm

hst adjuster thread for what gun?
Mike what size is the hst adjuster thread, I will have to make a blanking off plug that’s why I am asking.
Now I thought that the Mutant and the Veterans were both bullpup…
Then to add to that, they could be bought in three different sizes each.
The compact, the standard and the long, which all three of those whether a mutant or veteran, they are still a bullpup.
I thought you had the 22 long you got from your inlaw… No matter.

I do not own a Veteran long.
I have a Veteran 22 bullpup and a Veteran 25 bullpup, But no long,
I was given by an inlaw a Veteran 22 Bullpup and a compressor and a large tank a while back,
I was going to sell the compressor and tank but I kept thinking the brother inlaw might get back in the sport.
I was even going to sell the tank and commpressor dirt cheap and buy my inlaw a big steak dinner when he came down, But hell I feel bad about that, I got a Sheldon compressir and three tanks , I really do not need another compressor and tank.
Now the Veteran 22 is NOT for sale , The gun is super, like my Mutant, & Cricket, Its just a super gun.
I like shooting the Texas pecans , You know the native little pecan no one picks up because its so hard to crack,
They are a blast to shoot.
