Can someone please give me a definitive answer...
I bought a brand new TX200, it chrono end in the shop at 11.5ft lbs
Over time (since March) and after a couple of tins of pellets it has now crept up to 12.3ft lbs.
Someone suggested that it would come down again, and others say that it will continue to rise and then plateau over power.
What should I do?
Do TX200 come with washers that I could remove from new?
Thanks for your help...

Take it back to the shop or take a compression spacer out of it -that should lower the power enough to take it back under 12ftlb.

If the gun was bought new this year then it will be covered on the warrenty (unless someones been tinkering with it) so it wont cost you nothing, but if you dont fancy sending it back off to air arms and your confident in your abilities then strip it and do it yourself
Work is the refuge of people who have nothing better to do
Surely this would lower it far too much?.

Just add a few washers to the front... I'll have a couple of spare air arms washers for the rear next week if OP wants. Taking away from the front drops power less than taking away the back.

As its still under warranty I think I'll ring the shop and take it back today (its only 8 miles away).
Thanks for all your help, I'll keep you posted as to the outcome...

I've got a certificate!
I just got my new TX200 last night (after a SEVEN WEEK wait!) - the first thing I did was run a 20-shot string over the chrono, only to find that 80% of the shots are well over the limit using AA Fields
I whipped the stock off, and can see FOUR washers packing the spring, so tonight I'll be opening her up (the TX has got to be THE easiest gun to strip) and I'll be taking out some, if not all the washers before re-chronoing.
Talk about "buyer beware" - I'm more & more convinced that every airgunner should have a chrono, just to protect themselves "ignorance is no defence under the law"

My Mk III TX200 (in .22) was bought second hand and is over five years old. Power crept up slowly over a lengthy period (not days or months!) but was easily resolved by removing the single steel washer.
I just got my new TX200 last night (after a SEVEN WEEK wait!) - the first thing I did was run a 20-shot string over the chrono, only to find that 80% of the shots are well over the limit using AA FieldsI was idly wondering whether Dunk1302 or cocoamedia had asked Air Arms about how the power is checked at the point of manufacture, and if so what was the response?

At the end of the day, the legality of the gun is my responsibility from the moment I take ownership - that's why I always chrono a new gun when I get it home (if not before at the RFD). I'd fully expect AA to say "it was fine when it left the factory"

The plot thickens... I took it back to the shop and thier Skan chrono says its 10.1ft lb..
All the chronos at the club put it at 12.3...
I'll try again with my F1 positioned indoors to see it it matches the shop..

Beware the F1 is very sensitive to light chances, I've always got false readings using them inside.
