TX200 - Mk2 piston into a Mk3?

[robs5230]

I'm trying to go the short stroke route on my Mk3 HC

Should a Mk2 Piston fit a Mk3 Compression Tube and work?

I assumed that because it has a longer latch rod, it should engage with the trigger sear sooner that a Mk3 - I also understand that the ABT might not engage.....this rifle is for target work only and not humped around the field.

I've tried it but it won't Cock.

Have I made a school boy error.......???

Cheers Steve

Did you cock the trigger before reassembly and forgot to pull the trigger before trying to cock ?




The mk2 piston as said above needs a mk2 spring (or similar). They're shorter with thicker coils.
The mk3 spring should work but not make enough power as it wont compress enough
