I bought this rifle a few weeks ago, not had much chance to shoot it yet due to medical reasons, but I thought I would strip it down and give it a service as it's a few years old. Looks like someone got a bit carried away with the grease last time!

All cleaned out and now back together with an appropriate greasing!

These guns are such a pleasure to work on, so easy!

Looks in good nick.

I bet your glad it was only grease they messed up with. I remember a chap that opened his up and it was packed with wood and tape
Oh the joy of an aspiring gunsmith

Urgh.... some people shouldn't be allowed nice things!

All my TX's wind up looking over lubed. That 70% moly lube just gives everything a messy look after a few thousand shots. I also never bother cleaning a gun out, unless it seems to have gotten some grit in it. I just replace the spring and piston seal, when needed, and let the old lube stay put. Mind you, I shoot FT and I shoot 10-20,000 pellets a year so I open up my guns very regularly.
