Seen these on for £19.99 plus delivery and there's a pretty good video on their website showing fitting on a tx200 air rifle tuning .com
Just wondering how many folk here have heard of/use them and if they would recommend

Great kit, and when I phoned him at 8pm he answered (I won't say what he was watching to save his embarrassment, lets just say these cornish are strange), anyways he help me suss out what I did wrong and didn't laugh when we sorted it.
Top bloke, well worth the money.
Far too many guns to mention here. Lets just say more then the wife knows about but still less then I would like

Getting a tx200 next week and just thought this looked too good to be true for the money. Glad a few of you have tried it

I bought one of Nicks kits for my 99 a couple of weeks ago, not had chance to fit it yet, but plenty of people have posted glowing reports about them

So called Tuning kits
Well as above, there’s no such thing.
Some people sell spring, guide, top hat & seal as a kit but it’s not a “tuning kit” it’s a service kit, nothing more.
It may be better than the standard internals of a rifle & you would expect it to be for the money but that’s it!
Some sell just a spring guide & top hat made to fit the manufacturers spring!
At best a guess; these are just a sales ploy for the uninitiated. Those that know know each guide HAS TO BE MADE TO THE INDIVIDUAL SPRING, so these are just a generalisation so may or may not be an improvement & need to be steered cleared of as a tuning kit!
By all means buy them for what they are, a synthetic guide & top hat, but nothing more.
Tuninginvolves a complete re- engineering of the rifle, spring, piston, transfer port, stroke, guides etc, etc. So don’t get lulled into this money making project of “TUNINING”
If you want a rifle tuned send it to Vmac, wonky donky, Bigtoe01 or to a lesser degree SFS but a kit is not tuning!

I 100% agree with burgh308 about these tune up kits, in my spares box for example I have got 4 std TX200 mainsprings all with different inside diameters, 2 HW97 springs different inside diameters, the guides and top hats have to be machined for a proper fit to the spring you are using. At first I think all production guns would feel better for having a degrease and re-lube, I am not slagging the tbt kits off, your gun probably would feel better with one of these kits fitted over standard, but in my opinion, they are not really a tune up kit, a proper tune needs machining work and a proper set up not just the installation of a guide and top hat.
Good luck to him if he's making some money

I'm not under any illusion this is a proper tune up at all. Just simply quoting the listing title so folk would know what I'm on about.
For £20 bucks, if it's a good fit and reduces any noise etc once I've slapped on a bit grease then don't see the harm. Especially for the price.. And if it's not looking good once I've assembled it all I'll send it back for a refund
