Years ago I took my mk1 .22 TX to venom (when they were based in Birmingham) for a tune, silencer and sling fitted
It returned and was put away as I didn’t have time to shoot it. Years later having moved into a shoe box sized house, my parents brought it over. I again put it away until some years later I moved to a house with a decent sized garden. Having stripped the gun to check it was ok, it has a aluminium piston, stiff spring and delrin tophat and venom silencer. It also has the round 2 cobras sticker. I still have all the bits and pieces that came with that gun accept the 2 tins of lazadome pellets I was given.
Later when I started bell target, I bought our captains old TX again a venom tuned gun, or one fitted with a very worn round sticker of 2 cobras, when the power suddenly dropped we stripped it down to reveal the same aluminium internals and a broken stiff spring, this one doesn’t have a silencer fitted. The captain found the paperwork for it when he moved house, so I now have that.
I bought a 3rd Mk1 .22 TX, that happened to have a very worn venom sticker on it (italic venom, no snakes) Stripping the gun on finding it was on the naughty side of the law. I found a steel piston, delrin top hat an ox spring and 13 washers. But curiously the trigger isn’t riveted together though like the others, it has Allen headed bolts holding it together.
