Air Arms Custom TX200 Semi Carbine .20 Build

[Kerndtc]

Having some fun always wanted to have a 20 caliber TX200. My friend Mark and I continually hype each other up for projects like this

I have machined the .20 LW blank to be a length of roughly 11.75" and am using a Carbon Fiber Shroud.

It will have a magnetic latch, I have to chop the underlever and rethread it for the end plug. Either that or chop it and ream out the arm for 10mm to insert the magnet directly in the lever, but I believe I'd prefer the adjustable end plug for fine tuning the magnet.

It currently is at 10.5fpe w/ 13.7gr JSB, the spring kit installed is a weak old Vortek kit that I'll be replacing w/ a new spring from Tom soon or maybe I can dig one up in my stash.

Anyways, here are a few pictures of the journey.

Let me know how this turns out. I have a Pro Sport I would like to convert. No underlever changes would be needed.

Yup, one of those guys that "did a few little things to it".
Love actual custom not one of those bolted on a shipped part and say's "custom". Look forward to the updates.

Hope it shoots so good that you can win the worlds with it

The goal is to have it shoot that good! It would have to be insanely good to make me want to shoot a 20 caliber at 12fpe at a world event LOL

Chopped the underlever roughly 2.65" from the factory mk3 length.

Soon I'll drill and tap the m4 mounting hole for the barrel mounted latch portion and get all the latch parts setup for the magnetic conversion.

Got a stock picked out?

Coming along VERY Nicely Cameron ... We all wait to see as well Hear the initial results

 

[beerthief]

hmm TX200 . 20 YUMMMMMM

 

[Kerndtc]

This is not my gun unfortunately. Mine will be built at a slightly later date. But when I do have mine together, it could be an Abernathy, GinB, ARH Dragon or maybe a CS1000 mk2

Got a stock picked out?

 

[Kerndtc]

Depending on how well this goes I may offer this as an option for TX200 owners that want a full tune.

 

[Kerndtc]

Got a little more done today.

 

[Green_Yamo]

very cool Cameron!

 

[Kerndtc]

Got it back together with a skirtless 25mm piston right at 185 grams. The spring was swapped with what I believe is an ARH spring fitted to an OEM guide.

It's shooting at 12.9fpe right now and feels fine, I'll work on making a fitted guide when I get back from Easter weekend.

Stacking the 13.7gr jsbs at 25y!

 

[Duckfish]

Can I buy it back?
