Strip down of gun, brief internal inspection and removal of lube. Re lubrication of appropriate internal parts with moly grease and then re assemble the gun.
I'm an old airgun shooter and I bought one of these guns last month. It is the best springer, and most accurate, that I have ever owned. I love it. If only I could have had one of these years ago.
I've bought one in 177 in Walnut, had a few 97s 95s and 77s the 97s out of the Weihrauch's is the best, but l do think the TX is better l know there more expensive than say a 97 but the bluing is about the best ya can get, Minneli Walnut stocks again absolute top manufacturer, the Guns are sooo easy to strip, l like how the piston comes out of the comp tube without having to remove the cocking lever, all l did was fit a better spring and piston sleeve and a delrin top hat and guide, regressed with high moly content grease.
You should take an FPS reading before stripdown and relube and another one after. Be nice to see if there is any improvement. Couldn't believe how easy it was to strip the TX down. Great 'Toolbox' videos, cheers.
+A & B Photography - thank you. Regarding chrono readings of the gun before and after - yes that is true but in this case I was asked to provide a video that showed the simple steps of strip, lube and reassemble. The gun was producing 11.2 before strip down and having put 200 or so pellets through it, it has now settled at 11.3 so more or less the same :)
I think the next phase for this gun will be a full NickG alloy piston kit. But he is going ot make a hybrid one for one of my 97s first and then I want to work on getting the LGV piston lightened - so the TX will have to wait a while :)
Hello Sir, Thank you for your kind video. I absolutely love my TX200. It's fantastic. It's as I purchased it, perfect. It has a bit of a buzz on firing. It niggles me a bit and I'm tempted to try and cut a piece of thin tin, e.g. a tin can, in an attempt to sleeve the spring and cut the buzz. As you know, these rifles inside out, may I ask you if think this is a good idea? I like my air rifle as it is, untampered with and as it left the Air Arms factory and feel I'm disrespecting Air Arms as I'm no gunsmith. That said, however, I'd love to get rid of the buzz. Thank you, Ian.
i wonder why you lube the delrin and piston seal with molycoat grease , a silicon lube is better for s synthetic to metal , neveruse silicon on metal to metal thats where molycoat designed for
I like the way you explain how to open the tx200hc and put it back, so good. Tell me is it the same way with the pro sport ? Would like to know thanks again cheers Xavier
I'm about to order a tbt kit so this is really useful. It's a new rifle never been stripped. I've seen a larger safety made of brass but can't seem to find any information on removing the safety. Any tips appreciated.
+Matt Smith - to be honest I have never had the TX trigger unit apart. Its a very sweet thing to shoot to start with. However I have done a video of how to set up a rekord unit and how to polish the sears. The AA unit is basically a copy of the Rekord unit so it should be pretty similar.
Do you think in your opinion the TX200 is a better gun then the HW97k because im on the up on buying either one of them but can't decide. Can you please help me. Thank you buddy.
Excellent video, Thank you for posting this. I also have a full power 97KT and would like to strip it down and re lube as I did to my TX200. I am not overly handy with stuff like this but really want to service my own guns. My question is, do I need a spring compressor to safely remove the spring or can it be done reasonably easy without it? Thanks , Joe
@@redauwg911 Just wondering exactly how you managed to screw the cap threads on with the pressure of the spring ? Did you insert spring then put cap on and force the cap in till the threads met then screwed it on with your hand? Hope I explained this so you understand what I am saying. I would hate to cross thread the first few turns. Thanks , Joe
@@joebergin8113 I made a very good spring compressor with a cut 10 inch c clamp. I fully taped the gun and it was held down by plastic coated U clamps. I glued at plastic holder onto the end of the c clamp screw. The fac spring with washers:) stuck out about 3 or 4 inches but the clamp pushed the cap down . I turned the cap with a metal punch and screwed the c clamp at the same time. Everything is firmly bolted down and i wear leather gloves.
@@redauwg911 Sounds good to me. I bought the clamp today and have ordered a full powered main spring from D@L Airguns. Just have to make sure everything is secure and lined up perfectly. . " I glued a plastic cup on the end of the c clamp" Not quite sure what you mean here? you the end of the clamp 10 inch screw?
The TX has Tony Leach 22mm internals. It shoots superbly - every bit as good as the best of my hw97s. However I prefer the Hw97 purely based on feel, weight, size and handling. It's just a personal thing.
@@shootingatdawn thank you so much for the reply! Understood! I own a new TX200mk3, it has near 2.000 shots, last question: if you can say a aprox number of shots of use to make a service, what will be? 5.000? 8.000?
I never touch them unless the performance drops. That's the beauty of a Springer- they work well for years without the need for work. If you want to be sure just take it apart after a few sleeves of pellets just for a check around and a re grease.
