Got to slow down (running out of wall space)

crowski · Oct 8, 2021

This forum is doing serious damage to the wallet, as many of you have experienced. I read seangabrell’s thread (and the winner is)and the TX200 Hunter Carbine caught my eye. I thought I had the shorter barrel TX I didn’t, so luckily I found one at AGS. I was concerned about the shorter stroke when cocking. Found it tighter but manageable. Thanks seangabrell that’s all it takes, and I took it home. Put an Air Max 4x12x50. .22 cal. I thank God that none of DualMagMike’s guns he posts are available.

First 10 shots crony Air Arms 16 gr.

When do you guys recommend putting vortex kits into guns?

This is our Thanksgiving, so happy thanksgiving!

That's a nice looking springer and I'm sure that it shoots better than it looks, congrats!

Nice looking TX200, have always wanted to handle one. I’ve got a HW95 and 97 and trying to decide if I want another air rifle or put custom stocks on them.

Sqwirl57 · Oct 9, 2021

Put a tin through it and then toss a Vortek kit in. While you have it apart look for any wear marks on the piston and seal that occurred over the previous 500 shots. If everything looks good, install the kit and new seal. If something looks irregular, find the source and clean it up,/ polish it, and then install the kit and new seal.

now just start modding the bejeebus out of them lol ...

seangabrell · Oct 9, 2021

I’m honored that I have expanded your rifle collection!! Lol. The HC is a great rifle, I like shooting it more than the standard TX. After a while you don’t even notice the extra cocking effort. Enjoy it Crow

Thanks Sqwirlfugger57 I appreciate the advice.

Teber66 get the gun if available, stocks can be changed any time.

seangabrell ya your responsible I’ll name it after you. Again thanks.

Going to go make a gun rack today for the carbines. Crow

Remember, if you ever run out of wall space there's always floor space

Crowski nice rifle you have there, out of interest how much does it weigh. Also are you building a shooting range at your place with that mound of dirt in the background.

Mike you never disappoint with your wisdom!

Please let me know how the slowing down part works out for you?

DualMagMike your a lot of help, guess I could hopscotch across the room. 3/4 finished making 4 racks, 2 to hold 4 guns ea. and 2 hold 11 guns. 30 total.
Flintsack I will when I get my breath. Crow

Just tryin' to help

The floor would give you more room and the money and time saved on building the shelves could go towards AG shopping!

The mound is from digging out a range behind my shop. The mound I hope to modify into a sweet range. It’s 12 ft. high 85 ft. wide

25 yds. first ridge,40 yds. to top. I only shoot springers, so this works for me. This is under my covered porch, rain or shine. Rarely miss a day. Crow

DualMagMike sounds like your teaming up with my wife, I told her I’m in the process of making some guns racks. She asked me for how many, I told her 30, she laughed. Crow

This is how far I got yesterday.

Between two door jams. Late in day got it up. Crow

seangabrell · Oct 11, 2021

Looks good Crow

Personally a Vortek kit would be the last thing I'd do to it.

A proper fitting piston seal would be a huge step, making sure the lockup is snug, and then drop in an ARH kit if you like. It will cock easier and shoot more tame than the Vortek, and the spring will likely last longer as well.

Crow 85 ft wide, wow you must have a lot of flyers

. No seriously once the grass grown on that mound it will be a thing of beauty. I predict it will get very crowded on your covered porch to necessitate the width. Thanks for sharing.

Sean thanks

thumper thanks I’m all ears. I was planning on changing the piston seal as well. I have to read more.
