Thanks. Looks like I'll have to look overseas. Youngs say they do not sell breeches - at least anymore. Also tried Mike's airguns. Ebay has some aluminium ones but the price is up there. Anyone know what I need to do to have permission to post in the wanted forum?]]> Sun, 26 Jul 2026 14:58:02 +0000 www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=1396&PID=14998&title=hi-from-taranaki#14998 Introductions : Hi, from Taranaki www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=1396&PID=14978&title=hi-from-taranaki#14978 Author: kruzaroad

Welcome aboard. Fab little gun. I absolutely have never regretted mine. Brought a second one as well.
The amount of small birds like starlings, sparrows, mynas it has taken far outstrips any of the other guns ive had for critters taken.
Ive put stocks,steel breaches, hollow probes on both of mine. Prefure them as a carbine. Longer barrel on one and valve increased in volume.
Now has enough power to take a rabbit at 30m.
Accurate as ive found. Furthest shot 50m on starling with longer barrel and standard valve. Just a great little gun.
Trigger sears can do with shimming for sideways movement. Sear faces polished. A .22 lr brass case slipped over the sear spring for one of the sears to sit on instead of the sear resting on the spring, is good too.
Only real issue ive had with both is the screw for grips on right hand side strips the thread it goes into easily.
Make sure you have the correct imperial allen key for breech removal. Real pain if they strip.
If you pull it apart watch out for a tiny ball bearing that the saftey catch uses. So easy to lose its not funny.
Everyone seems to recomend youngs air guns for breeches. I got the longer barrel from there. H&n Field target trophy 14.66gr have worked well in both of mine. Hades also worked really well as a pellet.
You'll find plenty on site and online.
My mods are basic some of the guns being built on that platform are just plan awsome.
Keep us informed of your progress and hopefully some guys on here who are way more onto it than me, can give you a few more recommendations for mods.
Great choice of gun in my view. Keep us updated on your progress with it. 👍

Hi Matt,

Welcome here. Great choice, a plinkers dream. I have an old 1322 I don't use enough, but it's accuracy always surprises me.
We look forward to hearing more.

Cheers
Paul.

Afraid not. My tx got swapped for sig asp20.
Used more than wiehrach before i decided to find something more suitable than tx for my style hunting.
What i did to it before swapping it was, NOTHING!
It preformed faultless the whole time i had it.
That is a sign of a well made gun.

Or see if you can find one to have a play on.
Why ra k, vie ra k, vie ra ugh does it really matter. If so try this
While there are multiple pronunciations of the name, it is most commonly said phonetically in English as VYE-rowk:VYE: The "W" in German is pronounced like an English "V", and the "ei" is pronounced as a long "I" (rhymes with "eye").ROWK: The "auch" at the end is pronounced with a hard, guttural "kh" sound (similar to the "ch" in the Scottish word loch, or the "ch" in the German composer Bach

diana is pronounced dee-AH-nuh in german. Its origins comes from ancient roman mythology where diana was the goddess of the hunt and moon and nature. Not that it really matters to anyone saying it.

In German, the word Weihrauch literally translates to incense or frankincense, coming from the words weih (holy) and rauch (smoke)
It is common surname in German and is the last name of the guy who invented them.

There will be no "next spending spree" and a TX200, though undoubtably a fine firearm, is not of any interest to me. There's plenty of potential left in the 90's and plenty of life left in the 97, to keep me busy for a good long while.  All purchased for a purpose, and all will fill that purpose.  And, with the spares and parts I have coming, they're each capable of outlasting me.
I aim to have a whole lot of fun getting the potential out of what I've got, and that'll do.  Plus I get to keep on enjoying the 97, without any further mods.
So, no thanks.  Enough is enough.
Unless you've got one for sale, with everything done?

If ya air rifle is smoking something is up! 😛
If ya bow to ya air rifle everyday something is up. 😛
Incense are are used to cover the smell of something that stinks or for ritual to make things more grandiose than they are. 😛
Holy is an elevation of a concept. Something that has authority applied to it based off perceived ideals of those who follow blindly, but has no actual real merit over other entitys, except for those who follow blindly.😛
So i guess the name fits.
