    tx200hc

    Hi after a few set backs i have come back to airgunnig and glad i put my guns in storage and not selling them as new guns seem to cost a arm and a leg today . what i need to find out is i have a tx200hc mx3 my wife bless her got for me some time ago but i found it to be harsh to fire with a lot of recoil i am thinking of tuning it there are a few kits you can buy for diy or is it adviseable to let a expert do it not wish to tread on toe or offend you can pm me with advice many thanks
    man its good to be shooting again

    Welcome back

    I would start with a simple strip, clean and decent relube. It's quick, easy and FREE!

    thanks that was my thinking it has not been used much so a strip and clean will not do any harm. the fact that my 97 has been my go to gun has not helped

    This. I would also invest in a new piston seal and comp tube O rings. The TbT Delrin Top hat and guide also trnsfered my TX 200 from a decent shooting gun to something really really nice.

    The TX is a complete doddle to strip and service. Just add TBT delrin (remember to bin any metal piston weights). Stick to OE springs.
    Amongst the sweetest shooting springers the TX.

    The piston is standard across the TX200 mk 3.
    If you try a re-lube and still aren't happy bring the gun down to the bash at the end of October. Plenty of people will be happy to look at it and advise you. Lots of tuned rifles to try. Helped me decide how I wanted my rifle to feel

    yeah, as std it has a way-too-heavy steel piston weight. repalcing it with a lightweight delrin one is an improvement.
    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.
