Air Arms TX 200 HC DEFINITELY MK 2 .22

Air Arms TX200 HC .22 – Mk2 (Manufactured 29 Feb 2000)

Model: TX200 HC .22, Right‑Hand Beech

Serial: 10850

Manufactured: 29th February 2000

Early Mk2 HC with the correct irregular breech‑notch pattern for 1998–2001 production

This rifle is confirmed as a TX200 Mk2, based on its manufacture date, serial number, and the fact that it is an early Hunter Carbine (HC) model. The HC was introduced during the Mk2 production period (1996–2003), and rifles from this era fall squarely into the Mk2 range.

Mk2 Identification (Why this is a Mk2)

Manufactured in 2000 → right in the middle of Mk2 production

Serial 10850 → matches Mk2 serial range

HC version introduced during Mk2 → early HC rifles are Mk2 by definition

Irregular choke notches → typical of early Mk2 HC barrels

Air Arms did not standardise HC choke machining until the Mk3 launch

Uneven notches are correct for 1998–2001 HC rifles

Full‑length notch patterns (Mk1/Mk2/Mk3) do not apply to the HC version

If you want absolute confirmation, Air Arms can verify the serial — but the date and configuration already make it conclusive.
