Hello to All,

For me, yes and no, and also in-between

It would depend on how you want the finished rifle to shoot like, and also what facilities & skills were available to the user.

For the TX for example, left in 25 mm standard trim, or 25 mm with a reduced stroke, then a good quality drop-in kit or a Mk2 piston + kit, would get you a good way to a nice shooting rifle, for not a great deal of monies.

For such an outcome, the answer would be possibly be a no, though again many tuners go that little bit extra, so it might be a yes.

However, take my Tony Leach 22mm TX conversion for example - yes, it was very much worth it as the rifle is now sublime to shoot - so the answer would be definite yes.

Have fun & a good weekend

Best regards

Russ
