   TX200 after watching Gary Chillingworth, on U Tube, using
his hunter carbine, decided to tighten up the action screws to an even 1.5
newton metres.  Mistake as dam thing
wouldn’t cock. Loosened off & it was cocking  but only just, also often the safety wouldn’t
engage.

 Had removed the anti beartrap, so
reinstalled, caused me grief, as gun now loaded but couldn’t release lever, not
enough movement of the anti beartrap lever. The  answer was to file down & reslot the tiny
screws. At this point I put it back in the safe & said out loud I’ve
had enough of you today. 

Hour or 2 later bored I was back at it so the next mistake I played with
the 2 trigger adjustments, now wouldn’t cock again, reset them back wow, small movements
made a huge different, went from a 5 lb trigger to not cocking in a heartbeat,
tricky being a 2 stage trigger. 

Now all back and working as it
should, what a mission.

	I feel you there. "Put down the screw driver and step away from the gun!"
