TX200 stock bracket dimensions needed

[Gippeto]

I was asked to quote on and possibly produce a stock bracket for a TX200 from a stronger material. The fellow has not gotten back to me with the diameter of the main tube, and I'm wondering if someone here might have this handy? An accurate width dimension would be nice to have as well as the break does not fit neatly back together.



Thanks,

Al

This might be an easier solution. ARH makes a forged bracket.

You can’t measure the broken one?
The original is forged aluminum.
I wonder how it became broken??
I have 50,000+ shots through my TX and I know others who have shot in excess of 100,000 and have never broke anything except a cocking shoe.

Just looking for the diameter and the width if anyone has the ability to measure them and is willing to do so.

How or why it broke are not really my concern and it was not discussed with the owner. It does not fit "neatly" back together, ie...it was bending when it broke, so a fellow can draw certain conclusions about that if needed. The rifle does have a rather attractive aftermarket stock, which could add to speculation about certain things...if one were so inclined.

Because it does not fit "neatly" back together, truly accurate measurements are not possible...only a "best guess"...which is rarely close enough.

Machined from 4140 with an accurate radius to fit the tube should result in a long lasting part IMO.

The cast front stock screw bracket of the TX's is a known point of failure. Thomas (Roadworthy) has warned to not put ANY pressure on the bracket when the stock is removed - the bracket will snap, as it is just too brittle. What were they thinking? echoes in the spring gun valley...

OK.
I will speculate.
The Allen screws were stripped and the owner could not get them out.
In desperation, he yanked the stock off and broke the bracket in two.

One other guess….He tightened the center screw too much.

Happy New Year..

I can get you a measurement in about 3 days but this may have the answers you need.

The point at which the stock bracket mounts is about 1.368 inches in diameter which equates to about 34.75 mm.  I have a custom machined bracket on my TX 200.  I'll try to attach a couple of pictures.

[Gippeto]

That works. Thank you Thomas.

I ordered this one:

You ordered a new one from Chambers?  There must be a story how the old one broke.  We'd love to hear it rather than speculate.

Pretty clever because it appears that the custom bracket is considerably longer than the factory. Did you need to do any "stock modification" to make it work?

My bracket is not broken.
I ordered two brackets and two cocking shoes just to have them.
I have learned in the airgun game, if you have spares the originals will never break.
I have two complete sets of stock mounting bolts too..

Nice try!

[Denby95]

Hopefully some helpful measurements.

FACT.

Looking at the pictures Denby provided it looks patently obvious that the very thinnest part of the bracket, with a hole drilled through it, is a weak spot. At the very least, the "floor" should have equal thickness throughout, so a curved top as well as bottom. Then, a countersunk would take care of the screw head leveling.

It is always good to have spare.

1. Complete factory rebuild kit.
2. Two sets of breech seals.
3. Two front stock brackets w/stock screws.

The originals will never break, now..
