Bought a TX200 in a HW97 laminated stock from John Taylor who owns Halifax Airgun range who had it made buy this guy WOW if my guns anything to go on then this man is a genius thanks anyway the gun iv got is brilliant feels like a pcp to shoot Geoff your a legend
i have a regular .177 97k +hawke 6-24x50 and get sub 5p groups at 50meters , their basically the same gun minus the click click click ratchet anti bear trap 😆 both shoot as good as any pcp at sub 12ftlb .
fathead adolf barry iv also got 177 97k with laminate stock I want to send it to liquid steel designs eventually my tax is the only airarms iv got the rest of my guns are all weihrauchs
top man geoff. Ive been watching your work since i saw you blue using nickel i believe it was...and that was contrary to what others said would work. Pleased to see things are going from strength to strength buddy! Dave
Thanks for a great vid Geoff but my problem it a drill stuck in the moderator / barrel . I have maybe 6 or 8 pellets jammed in the barrell and I was hoping to dislodge them but now obvious the barrel is a lesser diameter than the mod. And when I say it's stuck it's stuck and I have no vice but I have tools. 13:38 Any suggestions? Steve 13/11/23
Do all MKIII rifles have the small screw under the shroud? I have a person who has a 2006 MKIII and he says he does not have the screw. His shroud is moving forward. I suspect the barrel nut is loosening…
Would a longer barrel make the gun more efficient to the point where you could de-tune to maintain a sub 12'Lb figure. Aim to have less kinetic energy flying about, shorter piston stroke and lock time, lighter recoil etc.... or would it be better just to buy an HW77 or 97?
Perfectly feasible yes. Something I would eagerly take on, and have often pondered on doing. It's just a case of waiting until an affordable donor gun is available.
Thanks Geoff, but what is 2k ? That cocking aid looks a bit like stainless as well, correct ? Meanwhile I could'nt find info about your nickle work referred to somewhere below, sadly.....
@@hendrickotto103 I think I made that one from HP tube. The Nickel post was a demo I did on Nickel coating prior to using cold blue in a hot state. It was intended as a trial but the gun is still looking good somewhere I believe.
Bit of heat and a hammer solves most issues! Would a Mk2 barrel removal be the same, minus the shroud obversely. Got one 2nd hand the other day and the barrel and action is scabby, so want to get it decent again. Cheers.
Great video and build quality which has made me more proud that I have TX200.
Excellent informative video, What particular loctite is used to re fit stuff cheers
Air Arms suggests using a heat gun.
Does the heat damage the finish/appearance of the blueing?
Waiting the answer..
Excellent video
Thanks Geoff.

Thanks Dave. Busy times in the workshop now. So glad I decided to turn the venture to full time.

I use high pressure/temperature steam, does not effect blacking. Save your torch for more useful work.
I don't have access to HP steam David. But thanks.

On a spring gun, tbh, no. Careful piston & transfer port work gives the builder the opportunity to increase the efficiency of the gun.
Geoff ,would it be possible for a hw35 in 177 to be made in to a 20cal?
I want to second part
So you could have a 25 tx or maybe a 25 pro sport ?
Perfectly feasible yes. Something I would eagerly take on, and have often pondered on doing. It's just a case of waiting until an affordable donor gun is available.
magic
Any pictures of the gun all finished mate?
Good vid
Hi Geoff, how did you work that black stock to be so different from an ex-factory Mk 1 ? Did you add a rubber-like sprayed finish ? THX !
Hi. Yes it's a rubberised 2k clear coat over black base coat.

Yip, exactly the same.
Many thanks bud :)
Nice choice of rifle. Your voice sounds familiar, Geoff. Did you by any chance play Altis Life? "Jussi" ;)
Ps. I can send a pic. Steve.
