darkdd81 36 Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 Hey Davyt63, I saw it a little while ago, and was mightily impressed. i contacted him to see if it was a kit that could be purchased and retro fitted, but he said that he would need the gun over in greece, and the woodwork would need extra inletting. Plus, i can't remember how much he said the work would be, but it was not cheap. Bloody impressive though! Quote Link to post
StevoSmith 147 Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 WOW lol.....first things first im loving them open sights.......i need some of them in my life....second that i must say is bloody mighty impressive might invest in that systems myself.....great vid Davy awsome...just shows how tech can improve an already fantastic rifle Quote Link to post
davyt63 1,845 Posted June 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 hi yes it is impressive, I am not 100% sure but there might be some one in the UK who has started doing this too? I shall update when I find out! 1 Quote Link to post
Phantom 631 Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 I was gutted when Ozzy didn't start singin 'No more tears' just ain the same without vocals :laugh: I have seen that before a while ago, which is a good job cuz my 3 internet keeps crapping out on me I'd like to blame this fecking storm were having, but it's like this everyday Tell you what, it would be interesting to see Pianoman use it, without letting him know it was on a super smooth sled That would throw him I bet :laugh: :laugh: Tony Quote Link to post
StevoSmith 147 Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 Lol Tony i doubt it...but worth a try i suppose....prob make an already unbeatable springer guy even more difficult to beat Quote Link to post
AR177 588 Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 Im confused isnt that just taking everything that people love about a springer and removing it? all you springer shooters bang on about is 'learning real shooting from a springer' and 'pcp takes the fun out of it' & 'no recoil no skill' etc etc well they have just turned that springer into everything you hate and slapped a PCP price tag on it! ... next thing you know they will put an air tank on it and shorten the cocking handle ..and give it a magazine! You are all now one step closer to being compressed air junkies like the rest of us The open sights are very nice though ATB Adam 1 Quote Link to post

I think its one of those things, the technology is out there to do it but apart from the novelty factor there is no need for it. At the THL meet i shot Marksmans tx200 and that hardly recoiled i cant see why anyone would want to pay to have it removed - maybe an FAC version now thats a different story But a regular sub12 .. the recoil is negligible ATB Adam Quote Link to post

Mawders 595 Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 So the question I have to ask is what had marksman done to make his tx200 so smooth? 1 Quote Link to post
StevoSmith 147 Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 So the question I have to ask is what had marksman done to make his tx200 so smooth? Agree with that cause mine still has quite a thump to it lol Quote Link to post
