had problem with my tx200hc not cocking and the safety not not working looked on the inter web and it said to much grease and swarf in the trigger mechanism this is a new gun so anyway they were spot on more grease than a greased pig and bits of swarf wtf its loverly now just waiting for a tinbum to arrive also fitted a tinbum in my hw98 his kits are the best in my opinion atb pete

Shocking on a new gun mate. I wonder if they're fitting the trigger prior to milling another part?

Both of my TXs, bought two and a half years apart, had a lot of grease in the trigger units. No swarf though! Still, nothing that a quick strip, clean, polish and light lubing didn't fix nicely.

If you had kept the swarf (assuming it is metal swarf you mean) I would have sent it to Hailsham along with photos. They would know what machine it came off. Most of their stuff is CNC with mistic cooling and glass doors. I doubt that they bung open units on an old bench and file other bits over it! So how the heck did metal swarf get in? Assembly should be well away from machining areas.

I bought my MPR from Bedford Target Supplies shop. He checked it over before pickup and demonstrated that it cocked and fired and allowed me to inspect. Was this mail order or gunsmith bought?

Sorry to hear you've had problems. If you email Air Arms with serial number and the faults you found they will investigate.
Tinbum kit are great value and Nick has done a great job.

Hi thanks for replys ihad been using it forover 5 hours at petes airgun farm putting nearly 1000 pellets through it thenit started to not cock without a hard pull of the cocking lever so decided to head home and investigate and as i said full of grease on the trigger mechanism so thats when i found the swarfe two bits sort of horse shoe shape so once cleaned it was fine and has been ever since atb pete

have fitted tinbum drop in kit shooting at 11.3 ftb so nice and its quieter smoother so jobs a good un atb pete

went to petes airgun farm shot on the 50yrd range and rung the bell on the duck through a 5 p hole several times if you know the farm then you know a springer hitting it is pretty good i am well happy atb pete
