The Tx Has Earned It's Corn.

[mattwhite 1,993]

Well as we all know, the tx is good straight out of the box but........the state of the piston is f#*king shocking for such a well made rifle.

It sounded a little twangy so, off with the trigger guard etc and removed the piston to see what should be nice and shiny and in reality it's totally the opposite and it's all covered in oily shit so after a degrease, a bit of time spent polishing the piston to a smooth finish, applying the correct amount of moly etc to the parts that need it and putting her back together then a quick test to make sure there is no dieseling things are noticeably smoother.

Feeling happy with my handy work I took the tx to my usual perm where the rabbits are thriving amongst the horse fields only to find the best field rammed with horses so it was a few hours wandering around the fields and the woods.

Most of the rabbits below were taken from 40 to 47 yards with the very bloody one near the bottom more like 30 yards.

I'd forgotten how hard a .22 hits and the 16grn AA fields are working a treat.

I'm already looking forward to its next outing.

Thanks for reading lads.

We need another club name for all the TX lads Matt.

 

Suggestions please. "Twat Club" belongs exclusively to the many HW 100 lads.

 

 

 

P.S. lovely bit of shooting matt

Cheers Mark.

 

Yes something fitting for the growing number of tx obsessives out there, and of course it has to be completely derogatory ???

[mark williams 7,550]

"Twangy Twats Chapter" maybe ?

 

Two t`s club,-- ( twangy twats club )

nice shooting matt

my tx was the same , a good de grease and the rough edges taken off that had scored the underside of the dove mount wtf!!

a bit of moly in the right places and a washer to bring it up to 11.5 its back on the money, ill be keeping an eye on the piston washers though.

Yes it's a long time since I had a .22 and I'm well impressed.

Don't get me wrong....you would have to wrench my hw100 from my cold dead hands but it's nice to have a springer too and in the opposite caliber.
