TX200 seal issues.... frustrated

ok, so my TX200 has lost some FPS. about 50 ish FPS... still very accurate and still over 900 fps
I pulled it apart, and looked very closely at the seal/spring
perfect......
so i get froggy, and try to re fit the Maccari seal that i bought. Stock form for the Maccari seal... 800 fps...
resized it according to instructions... 820 fps..... put factory seal back in... 920 fps... exactly where it was... i'm just confused now....
any ideas??? i still can't figure out why its lost fps... i'm guessing just broken in or something... Remember this gun Sat BNIB for over 15 years.... so the spring should be plenty set in by now... i'd think.

Perhaps by removing cleaning and re-installing the stock seal, you got rid of something? Or it seated better this time? Sounds like it works good now tho.

Sounds like the Maccari seal would be fine for those looking for a 12ft.lb gun sorta. That 920 with the factory seal isn't bad and is certainly within spec's. As long as the accuracy is superb with the stock seal I'd leave it alone and enjoy getting giddy everytime I decided to shoot a few groups or anything else with that 15ft.lb+ tackdriver.

My TX MkIII does 940-950's so I would say you are fine. Mine has about 500-600 on her.
I believe it is also norman to lose some FPS with the JM Apex seal due to the no fueling/softer design. You will lose a little less with the Tesla.
If you ever need one or the other I have both designs in my stock. I bought them and just can't take my girl apart.
