Well is it a twang or boing?

Boing is the noise from a springer spring. Hence the term 'boingers'. Twang is the sudden noise from breaking elastic, usually knicker variety, often followed by a request for a 'safety pin anyone?' I do not recall air rifles being referred to as 'twangers'.

Well if it was a twang I would be looking at the guide fit.

If it was a boing I would be looking at spring length, weights and power etc.

I like using spray on chain lube putoline dx11 (lost my tin in the move) on the mainspring and guide bought some banana scented one from halfords don't know about its long term effects yet time will tell

If it's anything like those scented condoms it'll just make your bum sore!

My friend's TX200 twanged really badly. A set of TBT guides & top hat soon sorted it.
Nick makes the guides specifically for the spring he supplies so you always get a good fit

Mr Boddington provided material for a sleeve. Boing/twang gone. Thanks for the interest.
