Tx200

[Its_grim_up_norf 577]

I inherited a rusty second hand tx a while back, it was in bad condition, it had been sat in a shed for a long while as far as i can gather. It's been serviced and had new seals and an ox spring put in it, it now shoots perfect. However it doesn't look great. Barrels covered in, not thick rust...but it's from top to tail, thin layer.

 

I'm after doing it up and selling it so looking like this won't really appeal to anyone. What's the suggestions for getting a good finish on it? Some people say wire wool, toothbrush etc. I've bought some gun oil as well.

 

Cheers for any help you can give me lads.

Get the spring out, a TX needs an AA spring, not that piece of junk by Ox! That will make the gun much sweeter to fire! Rust remove with tinfoil and gun oil!

Probably best you post some pictures on this thread so we can see the level of rust on the gun. Depending on how bad it is very much dictates what method will be best to remove it. I also agree an AA official spring will perform alot better than that ox spring!

ok mole no worries. gun oil and tin foil...as for the spring it was just what i got given. Im a relative new starter to air rifles so will be looking at getting an air arms tx spring back in it. Thanks.

 

I will take some photos when i get home later mawders. I'll upload them so you can see what i mean. The looks dont do the rifle justice to how it shoots, and thats with an ox spring. it will be awesome with an AA one if thats going to improve it like you say.
