hi all . can any one tell me what spec the tx200 mk2 has,

ive just bought a used tx200 .22 16255 number no barrel shroud apart from the very end ,
it has 4 anti bear trap groves = I I II three are evenly spaced with the last 4th close to the third.

some may say its a mk2 late model but with a mk3 longer stroke ??????? any info would help.
i also have a mk3 tx200 .22 1998 year

You could ring AA direct and ask them for some information based on the serial number you give them.

e mailed them , they said it is a 1998 last of the mk2, ive just used some of the bluing gel on the barrel , now it looks like new.
the bluing gel works great for worn and mild rusting barrels ,

You could cock both guns and check the angle of the cocking arms. This would tell you if the stroke is the same. I once had a MarkII with a 16,000 serial number and it had MarkIII stroke. I bought it used and it could have been changed because it had a 25 coil FAC spring and was doing 725 fps with .177 Exacts in 8.44 cr. I dropped in a new spring 29 coil and it went up to 880 fps.

will the mkII and mkIII have the same size piston seal ?

All TX's and Pro Sports take the same seal. You will find some have slightly tighter comp. tubes, but all take the same seal.
