I love my tricked up 2240 pistol BUT....

[Inspector 71]

I bought a Crosman 2240 ("Ratbuster" - how dreadful) earlier this year and was reasonably happy with it. I hated the standard grips though and didn't rate the standard of materials used in the pistol's construction. Still for a ton, it's a tidy enough plinker.
Not content, I decided to extract some more from the gun and spent some more money. I commissioned Don Robinson to make up some walnut grips which are lovely. I also fitted a TR Robb breech / bolt assembly, a trigger shoe, a silencer adaptor and a Jim Edge short silencer. My 2240 now looks stunning and gives a full forty shots at between 5 and 5.4 ft. lbs. Accuracy is good too with a Hawke RD40 red dot on top.

My only outstanding gripe is the trigger pull. It's heavy and not conducive to extracting the accuracy that I'm sure this pistol is capable of. Does anybody know who I could get to work the trigger so it feels less like shifting railway points? If I get it done I think I'll have a pretty much perfect 25m plinker.

I did a trigger tune on a Ratty, the 2240 is just the same.

I came out with a nice light crisp trigger the details of how are

That sounds rather nice Neil. Do you have any pics you could post? And (cheekily) would it be impertinent if I ask what the cost of the grips was?

I can get all the pictures you need to appreciate how a "disposable" American gas gun has been transformed by the mod's but I don't know how to attach them on the forum. Shall I mail some to you?
The grips cost £60 + £4 P&P. They are wonderful though.

If mailing some pics isn't a bind I'd very much like to see them Neil.

£60 for Don Robinson grips looks good value indeed.

Cheers
