Spring/Piston Recommended tuning for stock TX200 MKII

[TAPnAR]

I am wanting to do some tuning on my 90's vintage TX200 MKII. I bought this new, and never really got to shoot it more than one time. It is such a nice gun, I think it deserves to be at the range. What would be some of the things I should do? It shoots so well the way it is, I am not sure it is even broken in yet. It only has around 150 to 200 pellets through it. Thank you for any suggestions.

Welcome to our HAM community, Todd. I too shoot my Air Arms TX200 frequently, except mine is the MKlll model and is but five and a hallf years old. My suggestion is that you treat your gun's stock with the oil and wax of your choice. I suggest that you replace the TWO breach 0 rings, followed be a thorough cleaning of the internals, followed by the proper application of moly grease and oils. The PELLETS & PISTONS ytube channel can be of reliable help here. If you feel the need for a tune, many of us find favor with Vortek Tune products. Following every time at the range, I lovingly apply Balistol over the beautiful blueing and stock. If you treat your TX well it will treat you well for life. Orv.

Welcome to Ham fellow TX owner! Most beautiful gun i own....It's not even close lol. Mine is a L.H. MK3 in Walnut. Some pics of yours wouldn't kill us
If its truly that old i'd strip it, clean it, and hit it with some proper lube. Mine has easily 2000+pellets through it and its getting troublesome, I've only cleaned the barrel to date. I have a full TBT tune kit to install, & will be working on the trigger and who knows what else eventually.
Is yours a sub12 gun or full power? Id also suggest shooting it over a chronograph before and after doing work to it.
As yours is shooting so well, I'd leave it stock. Just do a proper lube on it and make sure there is no rust inside.

Thank you for welcoming me to the group. I have the walnut version, and it is in excellent shape. It has lived all of its life in a hard case. I was thinking it might require a good internal cleaning. Thank you for the suggestions for Vortek and balistol. I actually have some moly grease, I can use as well.

Thank you,
Todd

Thank you for the welcome to HAM. It is a trove of really good info. With the winter months coming up it will be a good time to tear it down and go through it. I do have a Chronograph and will definitely see what it is doing before and after. I have the Full power version. I agree with the finish of the gun, it is a work of art.

Thank you,
Todd

Sounds like you are on the right path by cleaning things up. Do yourself, and the rifle a favor by not storing it in the hard case. Cases tend to trap moisture, which as you may guess is not the friend of blued steel and walnut. Enjoy the rifle.
