Adding weight to tx200 hc

[Super-20]

That had occurred to me it’s a good invisible solution , even making one slightly longer if required

Liquid steel designs knock out steel plenum cum silencer adapters

Nearly 60g isn't as heavy as a moderator id imagine but may be enough.

Even got the option of screwing on threaded pieces of know weight upfront for trying out differing combinations.

Thats if you still need to go down that route after pellet optimising as mentioned above

Try different techniques and pellets the rifle is heavy enough it shouldn't require more weight added to it. Try pulling it into the shoulder with more/less power and have it rested on the last bit of the wood right at the front that's where my rifle likes to be on the bag. My HW98 likes to be rested just forward of the trigger not on the end so this may be affecting the balance when you shoot it. Good luck one love Ali

I’ve always rested the rifle well forward on the stock to lessen the effect of the quivering pink thing at the other end

I like the look of that , I’d be grateful for any further info if you’ve got it

Ask away..

In fact its actually cal specific I think . I picked it up on the bay of e and its a smaller diameter hole than my .22 one.

Your quoted pellet weights suggest yours would be .177

Won't ever use it in mine so if you would like to experiment with it or modify it you are welcome to .

DM me an address and ill post it when I get a mo

That’s a very generous offer hopefully the mods will approve DM on its way

The TX200 HC is a well balanced rifle. In many respects it is better balanced than the full length version.
Adding extra weight to an already heavy gun to compensate for something arising from the firing cycle seems the equivalent to putting a band aid on a broken leg.
There is many options available regarding the internals, spring, top hat, extended latch rod, etc.
Each gun will have its sweet spot when these combine in unison.
Finding that sweet spot will eliminate need for extra weight.

Adding weight when you do it with due diligence mind you and develop the gun it works its not a moot point.
Weight/ Mass is not for all applications some field hunters etc etc but accuracy? it can and does reap dividends it just does . and weights crowning glory it is super cheap and instantly reversable and infinitely adjustable, mechanically achieving anyway what mere mass to contribute involved more invasive surgery into the guns guts and the wallet. To ignore mass is loosing a valuable asset to achieving your goal. YOMV.

There is sufficient mass in a TX200 to absorb recoil.
Where weight can make a difference, is to alter the harmonics, which arise from the shot cycle.
Given the choice between addressing the cause rather than compensating for the outcome, whilst not mutually exclusive.
Addressing the cause warrants primary consideration.

Save your money and get a small cylinder conversion as it transforms the tx, I used a Tony Leach 22mm and I think he offers a 21mm now, plus others have jumped on this too now, best bang for the buck ever

Sufficient Mass? That depends on the rifle its state of tune just how its tuned its shot cycle characteristics and as you point out exactly how it responds to that shot cycle harmonically.
The standard weight might say respond fine in a gun that has had a lighter piston a different spring characteristic employed but another gun with standard internal could benefit from additional mass or any variation in-between, mass can not and should not be overlooked if what you want to do with that gun is not going to be compromised in anyway.
In some scenarios adding weight any weight might compromise the guns balance and handling and just not be practical to the shooter. I use my own HW57 early light stock version its harsh in cycle but no way could i ever add 1 oz to it anywhere its inpractical for my use.
A person using a gun for say HFT FT or some target dicipline where weight is not considered by the shooter to be a problem. Adding Mass could well be employed for good. its all subjective there might well be enough mass for x scenario but no where enough for y and too much for z.
Reading understanding how much exactly where and precisely why you are adding weight, is the key mass can and will cure many issues its its accurate utilisation that is important.
