Is that a barrel weight attached the lower end of the barrel of your TX200HC? Is so, where did you get it?
Thanks Dark

Dark, I’m not sure what you are referring to. The block under the end of the barrel is the housing for the cocking handle latching mechanism. It contains a spring loaded steel ball that latches into the cocking handle.

Probably talking about the cocking assist. ..believe the HCs come stock with them while the longer rifles do not.

Great project and write-up. I just got a new TX200 in .22 from Pyramid (in walnut). It seems to be shooting well out of the box. Not much through it but it likes the JSB heavy 18.13 grn. Do you have to use a spring compressor to take the TX down or can you get away without it?

28gauge you do not need a spring compressor to take the gun apart. Look up you tube videos on how to disassemble and you will see how easy it is. You may also want to try the AA 16s, they shoot a little better than the JSB 18s in my gun.

Thanks. I've seen some videos but they were from across the pond with 12 foot pound guns. With the way the rear spring retainer/cap comes off once the trigger assembly is out, it does look easy to do without a compressor. I have a tin of the AA's 16 grns that I have not tried yet, thanks. Again, beautifully documented project! I'm going to resist ever going PCP and stick with springers.

I’m so happy you fell back in love with your springers. I have a 97k I adore and have not gone to the dark side yet with pcp rifles. 
someday. I have my eye on the day state huntsman regal in 22. That will be my first pcp rifle. Just not yet. Enjoy the 200. Beautiful gun.
