Tx200 trigger adjustment12/29/2022 ![]() ![]() The B40 is very pleasant, quiet and smooth. General recoil is fairly heavy, but s much less than my stock R9 (which is still bruising my collar bone and is much harsher than the tuned B40). The B40 with this basic tune is silky smooth cocking and has no vibrations or spring noise when firing. If that is something that will bother you, spend the extra $350! For half that, the B40 I received, is a class act rifle, that is worth the money. Still, this is only cosmetic but something to point out. The notches are not fully as bright at the deepest points and just not as clean and finished as the TX200. Finish differences in the metal, are most apparent on the sliding breech lock mechanism which is notched to engage the closing breech lever underlever rifles like these have. The B40's bluing is very nice and deep and even. Unlike the TX200, the B40 has a smooth stock and does not have the same level finish in the metal work. The B40 is very similar in weight and looks. I have seen and hefted a TX200 before in a store, but never shot one. The B40 is an Air Arms TX200 clone, which most here know already. Mike did a basic lube and deburr, inspects and replaces the factory seal if needed, does a trigger adjustment and cut a custom top-hat and made Delrin spring washers to reduce spring canting and helical recoil a stock gun will show. He said the B40s come with a good stock spring, and I wouldn't notice the Maccari spring kit and seal much if at all. 177, and asked him if the Maccari kit was worth it. I called Mike last May about ordering a tuned B40. Replacing the spring, when needed, will take little effort and no special tools. The trigger group comes off the breech end with 3 pins and is a dream to work on, what little I needed to do. I simply leaned on the rifle against the work bench. Pre-load on the spring is maybe 10-15mm and about 30 pounds to push it in. 177 started to fly! Thanks again Mike!Īn additional note: The B40 is a VERY easy to work on rifle, that does not require a Spring Compressor. I couldn't fix it, and Mike promptly sent me a whole trigger and breech-end assembly which I replaced. The short of the story is that Mike sent me a new Stock and a spring and seal kit and gave me instructions on the phone to try to unbend the safety pin myself. ![]() The rifle was nicely packaged, but when someone drops an Ikea bookshelf on it, sh*t happens. Mike said shipping damage is the "Buggaboo" he faces most often. ![]() I called Mike about the issue and how the safety "wasn't quite right." The safety wouldn't pop out when cocked. Not a deep crack, but something heavy struck it there. The stock was cracked right by the the safety button. As it turned out, the rifle indeed received a fair bit of damage. When I received the rifle there was some obvious damage to the carton. I've rated Mike in another review, and will relate some of the same information in this review of the B40 I received from him. ![]()
