My New Tx200! + Some Questions

[dangerousdan 16]

Picked this up today! Very happy with it. I was expecting a beech stock from the original low res pic the seller put up but I think its the walnut? Its my first wooden stock gun so I'm not sure? Doesn't really matter either way but would be a nice bonus.

 

 

There are a few dings/scratches on the stock, nothing major, but is it possible to polish these out? How would I go about doing this?

 

Now the trigger. I had the shock of my life when I fired it at home earlier, its way too light for me. Didn't even feel the 2nd stage bit the first time I pulled it. I'd like to make it a bit stiffer but there is no adjustment screw like on my 97. In comparison the 97 actually feels too heavy on the trigger now so I need to lighten that one. Is it anticlockwise on the adjuster to lighten it a touch?

 

All in all though very pleased. I'd say the TX is slightly easier to cock despite the shorter cocking lever and doesn't seem as heavy as my 97 but that could be the scope, which isn't the best (a leslie hewett 4x40??). I can't get it to focus very well but my 97 has a Hawke 4-12x50 AO on it so probably no comparison? I'd say the 97 is quieter muzzle noise but the TX is quieter spring noise.

It looks like a wall nut stock to me and for your 97 turn the screw to the left but take your time and check it every time to make sure that its right for you piano-man told me to do this and he was spot on nothing he dose not know about springers give it a turn then check then do it again and check so on and so on mine was so stiff i was pulling the rifle to the left if your not sure give pianoman a pm and he will sort you out he is a top man and a gentleman hope this helps atvbmac :thumbs:

I'm having exactly the same mate, the 97 is pulling to the left. Its only when shooting the tx i realised how heavy the 97 trigger was.

 

Any idea on whether the trigger on the TX can be made heavier?

Im not sure about the tx as mine was mint strait out of the box atvbmac :thumbs:

I'm new to this, not really sure how light the triggers should be?? This TX trigger is feather light hardly a touch needed but I'm comparing it to the 97 which is really heavy (at the moment).

[bigmac 97kt 13,787]

There two totally different rifles just get used to the tx as you may find that you will pull the rifle to the right or the left if you stiffen the trigger just leave as is and practice with it bud i think you will find that in the end you will like it there cracking rifles and you have two of the best out there apart from sfs tune,d one,s atvbmac :thumbs:

Take the trigger guard off and turn the allen screw (number 4 in the diagram) clockwise a quarter of a turn until it feels right.

Hi.

Your TX200 is a TX200HC and the stock is Beech. It's very nice, Air Arms source very nice woods for their stocks but, this is definitely Beechwood. Walnut has a slightly more texterous feel of woodgrain to it than beech and is either a lighter honey colour or darker than beech and with a really lustrous figure to it. Your stock here though, is very nice and does not take anything away from what should prove a fine rifle.

 

There are two screws to adjust the CD trigger of the TX200HC. Basically, if you find the trigger stiff, take off the trigger guard and you will see the two screws in the recess. To lighten it begin unscrewing the setting screws to adjust left or right till you have the weight you want and the setting pull-length.

 

All the best.

Thanks Pianoman for clarifying it. It does look dark compared to most beech stocks Ive seen. I found this pic on the internet (below), and to be honest it doesn't look like either of them. It seems to me to be somewhere in between the two shades.

 

 

 

Adjusting the trigger there are two screws? This is for adjusting the trigger weight only yes?

[pianoman 3,587]

I've never had to adjust my TX200HC trigger 'Dan, but, the two on the CD unit are for both let-off weight and pull length. It would be well to have a play about with the unit so you can see what screw moves and changes what

 

Incidentally, when Air Arms introduced their triggers they called them "CD" as Weihrauch called their trigger unit "Rekord"

 

Best wishes mate. You have a lovely rifle here.
