guzzicat Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 Found an Air Arms S200 cheap,just finished work on it, I junked the horrible plastic bits, bolt Etc & replaced with Rowan engineering brass bits,trade secrets on stock, & a quick clean up, it shoots just sub 12 & still has the anti tamper stud in place, it shoots very tight, no jump & silent, perfect.

Mice! Posted September 13, 2019 Report Share Posted September 13, 2019 Wait till @bruno22rf sees it, he's going to be very jealous, I'll bet she's nice and light as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted September 13, 2019 Report Share Posted September 13, 2019 (edited) Nice job. Have just the same model and wouldn't part with it. My stock isn't quite as smart but I did make my own brass bolt handle and ditched the plastic one. Cracking little rifle. Mine is very accurate if I do my bit. Enjoy. They are not that light but not s heavy as a TX200. I shoot from mainly permanent build hides with small shooting tables and that square foreend just sits nice and tidy waiting patiently.

bruno22rf Posted September 13, 2019 Report Share Posted September 13, 2019 If anybody has a spare spoon lying around the house can they please post it to Mice as he's determined to stir things (dont tell him but he will also not be getting a glittery Christmas card this year). Truth be known I stare at the bruises on my legs from where I kick myself everyday since selling my S200! Wildcat has let me down once already ( Wildcat Mod post) and she no longer gets to sit on my lap being stroked although she did put another 5 shots thru the bull again today as way of an apology, but it's hard to believe that such an expensive gun can be built using push fit pins on a moving part.

Robertt Posted September 14, 2019 Report Share Posted September 14, 2019 (edited) I have the same model. Extremely accurate but I had an issue with a wandering zero. Not by much and but for the fact I was practicing with it daily, I mightn't have noticed. I researched the matter and discovered it was caused by the air cylinder flexing and did the following which was easy. Bought a shim washer from Accugroup, 28 x 20 x 0.5 mm, which was less than 50p.and fitted it to the cylinder, Then overbored the barrel band ( I used a round file ) so as the barrel no longer contacts the band. Slight improvement in accuracy and no zero shift whatsoever. Edited September 14, 2019 by Robertt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry i couldn't resist, and i have quite a nice collection of wooden spoons already 😄 When you posted about the weight of your new pussy cat i looked for S200 for sale and was surprised to find quite a few, but i resisted, guzzicats nice looking rifle was just too much of a temptation.
