Cunning '77 Modification

There is a number of reasons why the sliding breech is the best, one is that when you lengthen the transfer port this will lower the power. Also there is very little wear to the barrel seal as it pushes onto the barrel and not rubbed over it. The BSA rotating breech wears the O ring around it so you loose compression and the O ring that seals the barrel , a number of other designs also suffer from leaks. the slot in the bottom of the action for the pellet to fall though was a copy off the Venom Mach 2 rifle.

Personally I have never had any trouble loading my TX nor my 98. A slightly tapered breech is probably a better design but it really is six of this and half a dozen of the other. The best anto bear trap is holding on to the cocking arm or the barrel while loading.
