    when i did that 25mm 80 you shot at the bash Bruce originally it was favouring 16 to 20gr pellets more than 15 and under, Hobby were under 9fpe but baracuda hunters were 13+fpe, it took me a while to get my head round it but i eventually worked on the stoke and dialled in Hobby shooting at the same power (near enough) and get this the high and low met in the middle...the 19gr come down to 11+ and the 12gr went up to 11+

    This notion springers shoot lighter pellets more efficiently is due to poor design, not what springers can do. Im thinking an LGV in .22 with a DE spec piston will be quite the machine for this, if anything it may just need a few mm of stroke adding to equal things up at worse.
    Some more great info! Many thanks Tony.

    I have to to say, I did bloody love that .22 80!

    well you can make your own when you get a nice lathe to do the bits on...there are a few places that carry the 30/25mm tube.

    Or...why not try a HW95 with 23mm sleeve, so 85mm stroke 23mm piston have the cocking shoe push back on the piston skirt like on the LGV and make the piston rotate.

    85mm stroke is 35CC or 80mm is 33CC (approx) plenty enough for 11fpe and the action has decent spring room

    Thanks mate. Hopefully have another nice stock coming for an 80, so it will be on the cards!

    I vaguely remember seeing you saying 25mm isn't the most efficient size. Not worked out how you've worked that out yet but now I'm starting to understand the SCR side of things, I'll do some calculations and see why. Well, hopefully lol.

    Anyway, here's some data on a TXHC

    Stroke - ~98mm
    TP - ~3.65mm x 9.8mm long
    Piston wt - ~225g (.177 add 27g for top hat)
    (.22 add 16g for top hat)
    Bore dia - 25mm

    Hiya

    Can you just confirm if thats a MK3 and standard? Have added details above

    Many thanks!

    The SCR is difficult as the target value depends on port length as the gas flow through the port is restricted more by a longer port, it's an indicator of when it will slam or bounce.

    Hi John

    Sorry, I missed your post.... Have added Swept Vol. Will add TP Vol. shortly. After that, I won't be adding any more columns as its a PITA in HTML.

    Can I get some TX info off you?? Looks like we have MK3 details. Would be great to have MK1/2 and a check on the above figures mate!

    Was going to mention the little B2, but I just knew you'd slip it in there, all oily, like!

    Going to collect Mercury S later (as long as it's okay). If he didn't have anything, all this talk of yours of the B2 was making me more than a little interested in one as a short range ratter....Those dimensions are way more than adequate, no? You could even lose loads of swept volume and have a really handy, sweet little, reduced stroke 9 foot pounder for Roland and his mates!

    Yes, Mk3 Std. The Prosport is basically same spec if you want to add this too. Not sure about the very early ones though.
    TX200HC, Prosport, LGV - ex PCP pussy!
