Air Arms TX200 .177 custom spring ?

I'd just guess contact arh and see what he has or can do ..

Don't know how this low power one measure up to your wants ?

Ask and see on a custom job ?

Contact Vortek and tell them what you want. Besides what they show they are custom made spring kits...

Yes, there may be a spring he has that will work, but you may have to make guides for it, or have them made.

I put it be of these kits in my MK1 TX an am happy with it.

Is there a place that makes custom springs ? Thinking of a spring being made for a TX200 but a 9.6 FPE (apx.) ?
Thinking of a plug and play situation rather than cut and shim game .
(maybe too much coffee thinking ?)
Thanks

Contact Tony Leach. He is the best Tx guy there is. He does several neat things. 22 mm piston conversions and others. He is UK BUT Nitrocrusher here is his importer dealer.

Tony is alot like my self ..Extreemly busy and sometimes gruff as it’s tough answering constant questions and giving out advice. Go on FACEBOOK AND LOOK UP. LOST VOLUME. Its his personal TX SITE.

Tom at vortek has made custom springs for me before. He's a good guy to deal with and will routiniely answer the phone himself.

Well I guess you can't have your cake and eat it too.. lol. I'm sure not every case.

Springs are relatively cheap and the TX is easy to work on to change them. Vortek's website shows that you can buy any spring design you designate. Buy a couple of them and see what happens.

He could always clip few coils and go from there. Can always buy another factory spring.

There is a point where a too light of a spring makes the shot cycle sluggish. This is why some of the FT guys are going the way of shortened strokes & lighter pistons... Some the more exotic smaller diameters.

Or ....

Buy a spring to toy with and save the one he's got to fall back on known working ..lol

I don't know outside uk rated and trim to tune more ..

I just use the regular 12fpe Vortek spring kit and tune it with pellet weight. I am pretty new in this game but I am going to make a statement I believe in but it will make some unhappy. But here goes. Quit blaming the gun, the spring, the scope, the mounts, the weather, the grease, the shims, and learn how the gun wants to be shot. I am referencing bench shooting. These guns are very very touchy. They require absolute consistency. It's not easy, it's hard. You need to make it muscle memory. Chasing phantoms within the gun is not the answer. You can only do so much. It's the Indian not the Arrow 99 percent of the time. Pellet lots very. If the gun shoots until you buy your next lot of pellets then goes haywire, it doesn't like that lot of pellets. Try some other pellets of similar weight.Check the velocity to see if something is going on with the gun. But number one.....learn to shoot the gun.

Maybe look at them wet willy ( Welch wily?). Kits them UK guys brag on about ..

The ARH soft spring with OEM guides has a good shot cycle. I think this spring is about 12fpe. If you don't use the steel top hat that might reduce the power slightly. A TbT delrin short stroke spacer is another option. The shot cycle is a little snappier but the air volume is reduced and this can lower velocity slightly.
I've tried different springs and found that going too low in power can increase lock time and affect accuracy. For me 12fpe allows for accuracy at 10-50 yards while not disturbing my sight picture much.
