Phantomshooter Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 Hi all first posting in sometime; I just got myself a used TX200HC that's about 4 years old. By the looks of it and from what I've been told it's had around 1000 shots through it. I bought this over the 97K simply because I've read that the TX200 needs very little tuning so i imagine by now my TX should be well worn in however putting it over the Crony I'm getting a little over 10.2 ft lb. Maybe because up until now I've been shooting PCP's (BSA Ultra's R10's and HW100) the TX200 feels a bit odd - not bad understand me, just different from the other's. Its great fun and as you all probably know you have to approach your shots in a slightly different manner - well I do anyway! OK lost my thread here, back to my question, I've had my Ultra Reg'd by Simon "Tench" Howarth a couple of years back to achieve consistency in the shots which is now fantastic, but what I'd like to know is what tuning can be done on the TX200 and if so who is the man for the job?

timmytree Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 The TX doesn't need very much doing at all, usually a good clean and relube, polish the spring ends and add a power washer will do as much as you need. The best person to do it is yourself, if you can change a plug then you can strip and relube a TX or Prosport. Depending on the age of the TX it may be worth changing the piston seal and breech seals (2 of them, one on top the other) which will cost you all of £5, a new spring isn't likely to be needed but allow around £17 from memory. Pick a wet afternoon and you'll do it in an hour or less. No special tools needed, 3 allen keys and an 11mm spanner, hardly any preload on the spring so very safe and easy. For parts, contact Bond Gun Accessories, bgaltd on the forum below. For a pictorial stripdown and rebuild guide have a search on the Air Arms Owners Club.

NickB65 Posted September 18, 2013 Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 There are also some great videos on YouTube on stripping down a TX200 and applying a Welsh Willy kit.... covers the stripping down in detail and is a good video - If I can find it again I will post the link.
