    Just modified my crosman 2240!

    Hi ive just started to modify my crosman 2240 c02 pistol ive replaced the breech with a blued steel GMAC version with hexagonal blued cocking bolt and an extended hollow probe, then i changed the hammer spring for a stronger one with a brass guide and then i put a GMAC brass power adjuster on and a brass safety button, i also shortened the barrel by 30mm for a more compact look then just to finish it off i made a right handed pair of english walnut grips, i plan to change the whole of the trigger unit next for the GMAC version, i fired a few shots over the chrono and its averaging 5.4ftlbs with RWS Superdomes so very happy,

    That looks very nice, far better than standard.

    Great job.
    You made the grips
    I dont know why Crosman dont put a bit more bling on one of these as a more expensive option.

    That's a beautiful pistol mate. I have a custom 2240 which is now converted to a rifle. Has a few Gmac mods to it.

    Nice Job - There's something very satisfying about owing and modding your own custom 2240.
    It's so easy to work on and not a lot of money to do it a bit at a time or even better to make your own parts.
    Theres a lot a very nice guns out there to inspire you and the base gun is peanuts really.
    Perhaps we should start a gallery thread....

    crosman 2240

    Cheers lads, i really like this pistol now and i just want to keep putting more bits on it ive just ordered an adjustable trigger setup as the trigger is quite hard to squeeze now its got a stronger hammer spring fitted and a brass filler cap to match the brass power adjuster its never ending i keep looking at the custom parts available and i want more

    Be very careful once a pistol always a pistol, in other words don't use the 2240 tube to make make a carbine the serial number on it will refer to a pistol. So if over 6ftlbs its a section 5 gun and you will be picking up the soap for 5 yrs,

    Be very careful just noticed you did the chrono string with 14.3grain superdomes.Get yourself a tin of biz mags for power testing, with co2 it really makes a big difference up to 1fpe with pistols and over 3 in the summer with rifles. unless of course you like picking up the soap!!!
