Glad you stuck thru it to figure it out. In all my years of working on TX's I never ran into that issue!! So yes, us old dogs can learn new tricks...

Tuning TX200 Will not cock

Interesting read, glad you fixed it and brought us along to learn.
So the takeaway solution is to check for a loose or overly tall flat head mounting screw for the stock bracket?

I can't speak for others, but my take away was
1. You can spend money on someone to "tune" your airgun or I could do it myself. It certainly takes some considerable time (at first) , and I have to overcome a steep learning curve, but it's doable.
2. Delrin can break, and when it does, it messes things up. I'm sticking with the original metal parts for a while. I may try it again at a later time.
3.As for the stock bracket, I thought changing it out (months ago) for a aftermarket was a means to avert future problems. After I had tried to trouble shoot everything I know/knew at the time I thought I would revisit it.
I guess the take away depends on the reader's skill and knowledge level. The author's skill/knowledge level was basically kinder-garden level when this first started. Now, I'd put myself smack dab in elementary school. I potentially could I have saved myself quite a few days of angst by checking that first, but at the time I thought I had "remedied" that long ago. And, prior to the delrin breakage, it was working, although the safety engagement was hit or miss.

I hope others can read this and not make the mistakes I did. Maybe save a newbie some aggravation.

Just for future users, I had the same issue with the stock bracket and over tightened forend stock screws.

I know this is more than a year old.
But it just reminded me about what Tony Leach said about his earlier Delrin spring guides for the TX200.
With a one piece design, the end piece that the spring is sitting on may see a lot of mechanical shock and likely to snap off resulting in catastrophic failure over time.
A better option would be a metallic two piece mimicking the OEM parts.
or
A two piece (Tinbum) Delrin design mimicking the OEM parts.
