TX200 Mk. 4 ?

[Blackrider]

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 !

John, you should of asked about a bloody break barrel

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

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!!

Go up to Stoneleigh Park this weekend Nick and tell 'em !

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

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!!!

[Blackrider]

B'gger !
I really wish I had thought on to ask them Tony !

They may have ballsed up the mk3 TX but they're not that daft

The Pro Elite was nothing like the 80 except for it being a big break barrel. On second thought, it was like the 80 a bit. I guess it's kind of hard to make something that's truly different. Just like cars when you think about it. They all have wheels and an engine and get you from place to place. Some just look better doing it just like the Pro Elite looked so much better than the 80. I used to have both and all are now gone to fund purchases of that rip off TX200.

They've already made one. I've got one in bits here. It's like a meteor, with a TX trigger unit.

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 !

The elephant in the air arms room!

Keep emailing them chaps! If you don't ask you don't get.
