    TX200 Mk. 4 ?

    A while ago there were"musings" on here that Air Arms may be introducing the above soon ?
    Yesterday down at the BS Show, I had a good chat with the chaps at AA on their stand putting the said question to them !
    They said quite firmly that they had no plans now or in the imediate future to introduce a forth version of the air rifle as the current Mk. 3 was doing so well !
    I think we all knew that anyway.
    Other Q's asked were;
    When are you going to produce a left handed walnut stock for the ProSport ?
    A. When we get 500 orders for them !
    Q. Why don't you make And reintroduce the TX200 SR. ?
    A. Oh, so you've gone off the idea of a Lefty ProSport !

    There you have it !

    Good call, I wonder how many orders they would want before they'd make a break barrel.

    Far too many rifles to list now, all mainly British but the odd pesky foreigner has snuck in

    B ell, right I should have !
    Forgot that one !
    They had a display with many of their past rifles, all bloody lovely including an Elite that had been engraved "Don B style", similarly a ProSport !

    Considering what has happened to the British Airgun manufacturing industry, I think we should be thankful we still have a successful British company like AA producing great products !

    As the TX is just a rip off of the 77 and the Pro Elite was a rip off of the 80, I think they should now do a 95 rip off with that lovely 25mm piston of theirs and some georgeous wood.

    I would put down a deposit today!!

    The '77 didn't have a concentric piston transfer port set up or a free rotating piston. The TX can be dismantled without taking the trigger out without hardly any pre load . The PE had a far greater muzzle energy and again a free rotating piston and central transfer port compared to the '80. These AA rifles aren't really a rip off of any rifle; at-least I don't think so

    Ok, maybe "Starting point"?! (I didn't mean rip off in a derigatory way)

    In both cases they improved the design which is why I'd like them to look at the 95

    Sorry to correct you but the PE does not have a rotating piston

    No not at all. Correct away Why I wonder it wouldn't have the same set up as the PS/TX? Bit confusing that

    Ah, y'see; had John asked them about their plans for a break barrel they would have revealed that they do have one in the final stages of development, Nick.












    I believe the HW35 was the main inspiration!!!

    Hee hee hee!!


    On a slightly more serious note, if not a break barrel, it'd be lovely if they did a sidelever. TX-stylee with sliding comp tune etc. I guess many parts could be shared, helping keep development costs lower. And with a nod to some of those beautiful early side-swingers like the Khamsin and Camargue.

    My overall impression on taliking to the AA Guys (and a Lady) were, that the company operate on very sound principals, know what they want to make and know where they're going !
    Nowt wrong with that in my book !
