I like the small Apex seal from Jim Maccari. Google him at Air Rifle Headquarters. The web page won't list the TX in the guns that the small apex seal fits, but it's the right one. The seal is a bit more flexible than the factory seal.

There is the red seal from Australia from Customairseals. The manufacturer says it is more rigid than the soft OE, may require some sizing and running in, but lasts a lifetime - unlike the OE, which discolour, becomes brittle and breaks, as mine did. I have one in myTX200. It is now consistent and stable. Also found on ebay.

I favour Jim Maccari's stuff.

I've fitted a few of his kits and they do not disappoint. I've also used his Delrin buttons to good effect. Lubes are good as well.

You might also consider the New Tesla MK 2 (http://www.airrifleheadquarters.com/cat ... 390459.htm) from Air Rifle Headquarters. It is specified for a TX 200.
