Tx200Hc

[A1WOC 212]

After about 300 firing cycles, my new .22 TX200HC chronograph reading was averaging 10ftlb; with AA Field 16g pellets. After a strip down, clean and a little polishing to the compression tube and spring ends, re-lube and assemble etc; and a further 50 firing cycles, the chronograph reading is now 11.3ftlb; with the same AA pellets.

I must admit I hadn’t noticed any difference to the overall feel my TLC made; however, POI groups are a little tighter, but this may be down to me getting used to the rifle as well as the fettle.

The TX200 is certainly a very easy to work on. The only tools needed for a strip-down are a small pair of circlip pliers or flat screwdriver, Allen keys and adjustable spanner.

I think it’s time to experiment with a few different pellets now it is bedding in nicely, to see if I can improve on the POI groups.

Regards, Steve

Same boat here. Brand new TX HC and just got back from Furnace Mill. Unfettled, I was shocked at the grouping I was getting; clover leafing at 50 yards which is not my usual distance for practice but lot's of fun. I can do that with a PCP all day but a springer has never produced that sort of grouping for me before and that includes my SFS HW97. Delighted with it really so may hang onto this one.

I second the op with the ease you can strip them down. If there is an issue, you can sort it straight away rather than making excuses/fatal errors. No drift pins, no sharp edges, no tiny springs to leap off to be lost into the ether.

A truly superb creation that balances looks with performance and practicality.

Must admit I have never tried opening up any rifle as my technical know how is rubbish to say the least, I fire the things only! I was shocked a while back when I saw a tx200 being stripped in front of my eyes as to how easy it looked. Very good guns for would be fettlers!

dunno about stripping a tx, but my hw97;s and hw95 are easy enough to do

its a piece of piss mawders

TX is easier than the 97 by a fair bit to be honnest, as milegajo said its less drift pins etc, you could strip it in the field with no little fiddly bits, but the 97 is quite easy if you have some knowledge of how to.

tx's are one of the most simple spring rifles to strip! only takes 5 mins

Honestly, mate, anyone who knows which end of a screwdriver is the right end to use can work on one. They are a doddle to strip.

 

I like the way Air Arms have gone about the building this gun. Keep it simple and make it work. A bit like an AK47 in principle but with a much nicer trigger!!
