    Air Arms TX200 splits breach seals

    Is is possible that these breech seals are being damaged when they're being inserted? I know that when I've replaced those in my TX200, it's really hard to get both of them in and lying flat without damage. TXs are mostly simple to work on, but these breech seals are their weak point. Keep some...

    Gamo Better than expected tune up

    Now you know why many of us invest in springers from Air Arms ( I own a fine TX200) and Weihrauch (mine is a HW97K). Of course there are others, but you'll hear from others here on the forum what their favorites are. I have various other rifles, but it's springers that I always returned to. I...

    Weihrauch HW97K

    I believe that he was looking at a Krale price from 6 years ago. I purchased my HW97K with a walnut stock from AoA for in the $700 range last year. Orv.

    The best All around Air rifle scope

    Five years I purchased a Hawke Advantage 3 -12 X 50 scope via Pyramyd. Around the Holidays this past season, loe and behold, my wonderful scope broke beyond my ability to fix. I gave Pyramyd a call to see what I should do, they passed me off to Air Venturi who gave me the phone number for Hawke...

    Do you put grip on your triggers or keep them smooth?

    A smooth curved blade gives me the best tactile feel for my index finger to sense between first, second and fire on my triggers. I may be a snob, but I appreciate the slow easy feel of the trigger speaking to me for my best accuracy. Orv.

    Usps.....unbelievable

    Pirate Ship has proven to be economical and efficient in my case. I just has my TX200 returned to Air Venturi. My shipment went from California to Ohio in 4 days. Good service via UPS. Orv

    Air Arms Left Hand ProSport???

    When checking with Pyramyd, see what stocks they have available . . . You just might find a lefty there. If not, perhaps your friend you made you the custom stock a year or so ago, he may be looking for another project. I'm personally not impressed with the Pro Sport as I am with my TX200. The...

    HW/Weihrauch HW30s - How Much Maintenance?

    I use a micro-fiber towel and Balistol to wipe down my rifles after every shooting. I also apply a light coating of grease on the cocking arms pivot points a few times a year. Moisture is the arch enemy of airguns. Orv.

    What Prevented you from Shooting Today?

    Thanks. I was just checking, and tomorrow will reach 105 degrees. . . so, another hot one. By Wednesday we'll spiral back into the 80's. Hooray! If you want me, I'll be out on the range where the only thing hot will be my shooting. I haven't been out there in weeks so I'm sure to be a mite...

    What Prevented you from Shooting Today?

    The temps reached over a hundred degrees today, for what must have been the third week without relief. Temps are supposed to drop into the mid eighties later this week, then I'll have the energy for shooting. Whew! Orv.
