Re: Heavy rust on old airgun

Right then Pedro, over to you, I`d post a few pictures first, let`s all see what we`re (you`re) dealing with here? & as soon as you get sights, help on fettling, trigger/action smoothing I`m sure will be forthcoming, then, let`s see a grouping, then let`s see if you can improve on it & by j...

I have to find myself a laser :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8q3DZB_l6M

The problem with youtube is that all the products that I see there are unavailable in Portugal. Except vinegar, I think I will try that.

Thanks for the info!

Is there clearance to a sleeve using the original mainspring on a TX200?
