Has anyone else had an issue with a new springer from Air Arms?
I've had 4 of their springers now, the other 3 were faultless so, I'm hoping this was just a Friday afternoon job
I picked up a brand new .177 TX200hc recently. When I got it home and first cocked it, it felt rough - I could hear and feel metal against metal contact.
It really wasn't nice.
So, I took it apart and, sure enough, there were scratches and a couple of small gouges on the inside of the main body - it looked like they'd been caused by the leading edge of the compression tube.
Also, the last couple of coils on the spring were bent slightly to the side - I wondered if this was the cause.
A bit of time with some wet and dry around a broom handle and, a Titan No. 10 from the spares box has sorted it.
It's a lovely rifle - I was just a disappointed that it left the factory like that.
