Tx200 .22 tune

A seemingly forgotten modification is the long latch rod.
Shaun Hill (Spartan on here) can make these if you send him your old one to duplicate. They are silver steel with a hardened mushroom.

He doesn;t even need the old rod to copy, unless it;s some VCR thing.

You are quite right, the increase in spring room from the longer rod makes a big difference, although I've always coupled this with replacing the spring with one similar to mk2 spec, and throwing away the heavy top hat.

I must have been his first then 😁.. I had a wee chat on the phone regarding my intentions and he asked me to send him the old one so he could duplicate the mushroom. That must have been about 4 or 5 years ago definitely before I had my boxford or I would have given it a go.

He doesn’t need the rod, the dimensions are all in his head...
