Spring noise

[pest hunter 151 15]

Hi lads was just wondering if any of you knew why my tx200hc has started making extra vibrations and noise, it used to have a nice firm thwack but after the thwack i now get extra vibration.

 

Thanks.

Is that all it needs? If so thats an expencive £90 trip for my gun. Thanks for your help mate.

Check it for lube pest Hunter. I had the same twangy, vibratory feeling condition with my .22 TX200. AndyFR1968 here is my mate and shooting pal and he knows spring rifles backwards. He did a service on mine and found the trigger was bone dry and the rifle needed a general internal re-lube. Since that was done, the gun shoots amazingly well again.

Oh thanks for that mate, so could i just put some 3 in 1 on its trigger mechanism or in the cylinder or would that cause dieseling?

Check everything's properly tightened up and that the detent that holds the under lever in place is locking up correctly.

 

TXs are a doddle to strip down, mate, so if you're up for a bit of DIY you should be able to do a strip, clean, re-lube and re-build without too many problems. It could be a broken main spring or it's just gone a bit dry.

 

If you want, drop me a PM and I'll go through it with you

 

Edit to add... Don't put 3 in 1 anywhere near the internals, it'll diesel like feck if it gets into the compression chamber.
