hey am new to the forum
I bought a tx200 yesterday belive its a mk2 needs a bit of refab work to be at a standerd I like should have had alarm bell ringing when it was wraped in camo tape

so ill be asking some probs silly questions about how to get the rifle running right as it did smoke slightly too

Hello and welcome..oh the dreaded camo tape it hides a multitude of sins.

to be fair its age most of the work is age i.e new stock screws two slight dents in stock from hunting (just a guess) and few little rust patches which I recon will come out with 3 in1 oil n wire wool and ill try patch the blueing up worse part is am unsure if to strip the stock back and redo or do I try lift the residue from the camo tape and buff it back up as I actually like the look of it sorta worn oldy look lol

I have my late dad's tornado that wants the same. I would appreciate any help on what you've fitted.

are you looking to rebuild it to factory or to a more stable usable rifle ?

Usable really. The twin springs didn't really work in my option.

BBF

no the twin spring was a thing they tried lol n cause it kicked like a donkey in a mood it was super powerfull no reall way of measuring ftlb back then other then the recoil lol

so you have a few options their is a made kit to transfer it to a main spring and guide ect or I can give you lists of parts from other guns to do it if you have facebook can speak over that and ill help out where I can
