Welcome back
I would start with a simple strip, clean and decent relube. It's quick, easy and FREE!
Hi after a few set backs i have come back to airgunnig and glad i put my guns in storage and not selling them as new guns seem to cost a arm and a leg today . what i need to find out is i have a tx200hc mx3 my wife bless her got for me some time ago but i found it to be harsh to fire with a lot of recoil i am thinking of tuning it there are a few kits you can buy for diy or is it adviseable to let a expert do it not wish to tread on toe or offend you can pm me with advice many thanks
man its good to be shooting again
Welcome back

thanks that was my thinking it has not been used much so a strip and clean will not do any harm. the fact that my 97 has been my go to gun has not helped
The TX is a complete doddle to strip and service. Just add TBT delrin (remember to bin any metal piston weights). Stick to OE springs.
Amongst the sweetest shooting springers the TX.

The piston is standard across the TX200 mk 3.
If you try a re-lube and still aren't happy bring the gun down to the bash at the end of October. Plenty of people will be happy to look at it and advise you. Lots of tuned rifles to try. Helped me decide how I wanted my rifle to feel

I'll put in another vote for a strip, polish and relube.
But, I like a piston extension with the original steel tophat (at the moment) - this may change, I can't help messing about with it. I'll get it perfect one day
All of the above.
Adding or removing piston weight has a very pronounced effect on the way the shot cycle and how the gun behaves. You might have heard that a springer likes lighter pellets better. By adding piston weight one could try and balance the gun for heavier pellets and make it more consisent across. It really depends on what you prefer but I like a lighter piston with delrin top hat and preload washers.

Got it striped only one preload washer and there is a waxey sort of grease around the piston head but slide and spring are bone dry . is automotive lith-moly grease ok to relube or is there a type specially for the job excuse me if i am asking dum
quescion but i have only ever striped pcps and this should easy but i not want to bugger up a good gun so i find it better if i dont know to ask some one who will know. your never to old learn
you can use automotive cv grease(lithium/moly) or buy some bumslide from Tbt .Tinbum who replied above will tell how to get it.
im sure Tbt has a video on stripping one and lubing it up.
