    Tx200 bearings

    Hi everyone

    Quick question:

    Does the tx 200hc have bearings on the compression cylinder/ sliding breach like the prosport, or does it just have bearings on the piston?

    I wonder why they're different?

    Yes, that's true.

    The reason I ask, I own a prosport and was toying with the idea of a used tx200hc. I'd imagine there's no real difference in smoothness of the breech sliding closed between the two. I'll try and find one to try.

    Can you de cock the tx?

    I wonder of the angles of the PS cocking lever put more lateral force on the comp tube ?
    Or that it's a bit more awkward to cock, so they figured they should try to reduce the effort / friction ?

    And yes, you can de-cock a TX
    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

    Interesting point. And thanks, I will have a look in store and compare the two.

    I believe that's the reason Jon, the same as a Whiscombe which has the rear inserts to stop metal on metal contact during cocking.
