Hi everyone, it's my first guide so be easy...
Ok so I picked up my TPX last night and was like... wow. I love this thing more than my previous pistols, which included a T8, a T9, and an Ariakon ACP 2.0 (NEVER AGAIN... NEVER). I like the design, I loved it!.. but when I got home, I saw my Crossman 12 grams from Wal-Mart didn't puncture at all! So I google'd it and one guy said to put paper behind the 12 gram.
I thought, "So I need paper behind each 12 gram?!" I tried it, and it didn't even work... so I found another one that said to put tinfoil infront of the "white
knob" in front of the trigger. Not hard to find, but it's more of a button than a knob. Tried this, it worked! But the tinfoil kept falling... so I went to sleep. Low and behold, it came to me in my dream... just like my research paper!
Wrap the tinfoil around the button!
Woke up this morning, and I couldn't find a way to do it... then I saw the trigger. BA-ZING! Right there, here we go. 4 12 grams' worth of dry shots and thus far it has held! Since I haven't found another picture guide, I made one, so that people can make the TPX work flawlessly.
Lets begin shall we?!...
-Step One: Remove barrel, magazine, and 12 gram plug. I am not sure if this is NECESSARY, but I prefer to do this since, literally, removing the plate will remove half of the clutches that hold each of these.
-Step Two: Begin unscrewing the
SEVEN (7) screws. Make sure all
SEVEN (7) are out before you attempt to remove the face plate.
-Step Three: Lift the left face plate off of the pistol. *Note* The entire safety "stick" will be attached to the plate. Don't worry about it, just be sure not to break it.
-Step Four: Lift the trigger out of place from underneath the tube connecting the 12 gram piercer to the "valve" (I don't exactly, know what that is, I assume it's a valve). Make sure to keep the pin that holds the trigger in place. It should be kept in the trigger for the next step.
-Step Five: Take some tinfoil out of the container, I recommend enough to fold over 2-3 times to equal the width of the top of the trigger to the pin. It should also be enough to wrap around a good 3-4 times, to have enough to puncture the 12 gram. Make sure the remaining end of the tinfoil is on the side of the trigger facing the right face plate.
-Step Six: Replace the trigger, with pin. Replace face plate, aligning safety with it's hole. Reattach the screws and tighten, but not too tight.
Please, let me know what I can do to improve!
