i have a Pro Sport that despite a TbT kit and a new Titan spring still had a bit of a twang, it was still devastatingly accurate though. This afternoon I managed to squeeze in a sleeve fashioned from a pop can and twang appear to be no more.
Hence, if you've got a metal can and an hour to spare it might be worth a go.

They either use whatever spring they have at hand at the AA factory and we know that some of them have different wire gauges or the inside of the piston is machined differently each time. I can't even get a 0.1mm thick paper inside the cylinder even if the spring is not compressed.

A prosport Shouldn't twang at all considering what they cost new!! It can't cost much in relation to what the gun costs to fit proper fitting guides a piston sleeves. No wonder Nick does so well.
My ProSport is 1 of 2 untouched rifles and I've got and I have 16 of them. I can assure you though the moment it starts to Boing I will be ordering a TbT kit of guides to get rid of that boing. I have done a lot of
de-boinging rifles and only recently my HW80 developed a boing of which I will be sorting out tomorrow with a TbT pro kit. I may be putting the kiss of death on this, but as of yet none of my rifles have lost accuracy by putting a set of guides in them. They are not hard to do, but you get such a sense of satisfaction when your rifle is very quiet and shoots beautifully, knowing you made it that way.
Shooting Air Rifles is like being a pubic hair on a toilet seat.
Eventually someone comes a long and P's you off.
They usually have a PCP
If it's just twanging but great in every other way have a look to see if it has any grease in it?
It might be bone dry like my two hatsans were, all you would need is some proper Lube not to much and that's it.
A friend's TX was twangy. The steel guide was rattling around in the spring. I put a spare delrin one in. The zero didn't change the gun just sounded better.

I'm convinced - a replacement Spring guide matched to the Spring, is on its way.....
Many thanks
