Why can’t I get a .177 Mutant?
So I PM’d and e-mailed are fearless leader of these forums a week ago about getting the .177 Mutant. That was all for nothing as I never heard back from him. So why won’t they bring the .177 here to the States? Why can’t I just order one and have it come in with the .22 shipments. Anyone have an answer before I try more dealers or am I just wasting my time.

well be patient …
Great just what I wanted to here…NOT

Dear Six-Legged Bug…
BUT…are you worthy to own one? There are those who mumble quietly about your postings, and question your purity of intent!!!

You guys are really hyping up the Mutant aren’t you? Well, it works, you got my attention :angrymob:

I agree Hoot,
If they keep it in the same price range I will be tempted to expand my PCPs to four,,,
And I always said two was my limit no more, Pistols may be exempt for the rules…

This is being purpose built using the mutant as a foundation .
:hoot:
If so, the .25 Mutant will be a pcp to consider seriously! IF they keep within the same price range.

Hoot if it was just a barrel change and go… the .25 would be already here..

i’m seriously curious whether the .25 will have a “beefed up” valve, HST, to produce the results one expects from a larger caliber?
If they simply put a larger barrel on the existing .22, then I predict disappointing performance, and possible premature valve stem issues. Recall Ed had this same problem several years ago when Old Goat talked him into producing a .25 Matador. It took awhile to sort out that problem. This recurred with the .30 caliber and changes needed to be made to handle the heavier caliber.
I hope Taipan understands this issue and takes care to make the internals of the .25 heavy enough to absorb the increased wear of a larger caliber.

I am pretty sure this is a hint, And I bet the 177 will be coming in with the 25 cal guns, In November of 2016
I have been wrong about a Billon times before, So I could be wrong again.

Times are changing … for the better.

I guess I missed that one! 😐
I forgot which forum I was on.
Dear RichM…
I know a guy who has one in new condition and wants to unload it!
Hoot:
:hoot:
I didn’t mean he wanted to sell it…he put a .20 caliber pellet in it and can’t get it unloaded!
Hoot:
I would have been interested but…I have a Mutant Shorty .22 coming as well as a AA S200 .177 barrel and I’m getting the factory conversion kit. Dman will build it. Heck were practically neighbors. :biggrinn:
So I’ll have my .177 Mutant Shorty and when the .25 is available I’ll have the trifecta.
:hoot:

I wouldn’t hold my breath waiting on the mfg to produce any .177 shorty!
