Taipan talk…..
Ok lets talk Taipan here,
so I noticed some differences with the Taipans.
Lets start off with this pic, click the pix too make them bigger.
Was this a prototype Taipan there is no marking from the factory at all.
But it is a Taipan bullpup, right side.
Left side no marking at all, stock is different as well.
It uses a different style mag too.
Now moving on to the Taipan2
It looks like it uses the same mag design.
They sell the Taipan 2 in the E.U. but not here why, and which is better?
What mag, design is better?
Then the last pic, says made in the U.S. & has a plastic wined up mag.
With a different stock also, & a bolt action.
What the deal with that one? :popcorn:

I’ll look into the spare mags….
The shortys and the standards have different defuser so that the shorty can stay quiet. The barrel ends right at the front of the clamp.
If it stuck out more I don’t think it would be as quiet.
I’m sure if someone request a long they will bring some in.
Jammie,
interesting, now I got it.
Because looking at them & thinking, well we have a gun mark Taipan, & they have a gun marked Taipan 2.
Glad they did not go, with the plastic wined up mag.
The less parts in the mag the better off it is, less things to wear out or go bad.
I wish we could get more mags too use in our guns.
Soze,
I see that Ernest, has the silver mags in his shorty also.
With the, different shaped defuser in the moderator.
Do you think that is, what is making the shorty just as quite as the standard Taipan?
Also looks like no as the Taipan long yet in the U.S. :popcorn:
There are some other small differences from the Taipan I got from Dman and the one I just bought from WWAG. The magazine is black vs silver and the single shot tray has different size holes in the middle. The baffles are also different in the moderator. The newer one has a different shaped defuser.
Fox….
So lets start from the Begining.
Taipan 1 where it all started. back in 2010 There wasn’t many made this was essentially a prototype. They marked as Made in USA due to the power restrictictions and such in russia. Also as a new bussiness starting they were trying to run under the Radar. basically the same principles as why eds guns were marked differently .
Then they developed The taipan II…. these have been discontinued. The mutant has taken its place.
the first set of pics i don’t think was a prototype. just one that didn’t get any markings. The ones that i imported into the US have 1 small marking on them.
that has a custom stock. That is essentially the reason why they Use a ASH stock on the mutant. Because over there many prefer a custom stock. and it keeps cost down on the rifle.
so they put more money into the metal than the wood.
The mutant is basically the taipan II …. with a better mag system, and a few other small features they changed
