Not sure where you heard this, but a TX200 SR would be considered a springer. Because it's a springer. Same as a Diana 54 or a Whiscombe. The easy way to tell if a gun is a springer or PCP is if it has a big spring in it that has to be cocked or if you hook up an external air source to it. The only guns that would be in the gray area would be the FX Independence (PCP because you can hook up an air tank to it) or an old 10 meter SSP (generally considered a springer).

It NOW can be used in the springer division BUT at one time the SR's could not be. They could only be used outside of the recoiling piston division i.e. PCP...

This is why they are rare today. When they came out, they began winning competitions, and rules were changed to force them to compete against PCPs. Soon after that, production was stopped. Tyrolean stocks were outlawed in 10-meter competitions, and they all but disappeared as well. Fast-forward 30 years, and both are coveted.
