mattwhite 1,993 Posted May 14, 2016 Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 Well as we all know, the tx is good straight out of the box but........the state of the piston is f#*king shocking for such a well made rifle. It sounded a little twangy so, off with the trigger guard etc and removed the piston to see what should be nice and shiny and in reality it's totally the opposite and it's all covered in oily shit so after a degrease, a bit of time spent polishing the piston to a smooth finish, applying the correct amount of moly etc to the parts that need it and putting her back together then a quick test to make sure there is no dieseling things are noticeably smoother. Feeling happy with my handy work I took the tx to my usual perm where the rabbits are thriving amongst the horse fields only to find the best field rammed with horses so it was a few hours wandering around the fields and the woods. Most of the rabbits below were taken from 40 to 47 yards with the very bloody one near the bottom more like 30 yards. I'd forgotten how hard a .22 hits and the 16grn AA fields are working a treat. I'm already looking forward to its next outing. Thanks for reading lads. 7 Quote Link to post

mattwhite 1,993 Posted May 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 Cheers Mark. Yes something fitting for the growing number of tx obsessives out there, and of course it has to be completely derogatory ??? Quote Link to post
