Crosman 2240

[MrTetley]

Good afternoon All,

Well i've only gone and done it !

I enjoyed a nice ride out on the train to Kirklees Guns, Huddersfield, parted with my £69.99 and got my 2240.
I had been toying with a 2240 for a long time now, having looked at all the personal modifications you can do i felt the time was right !

First impressions, nice little shooter, as always i have started a list of tuning / cosmetic mods, hope the wife is in a good mood over the coming months.

I know alot of you guys (sorry, and girls) have quite substantial experience with the 2240 so any hints, tricks etc would be warmly welcomed.

Regards
Simon

I too am a recent 2240 convert and there are loads of guys on here that will only be to pleased to show off their excellent and unique pistols.

Mine is less than a month old and has already cost me over £200! I have fitted the metal breech, a weaver rail, swift stubby silencer and a pistol scope.

As it's now looking pretty tactical I am considering my options for a torch\laser. Once done I plan to get another and make some wood grips for it and maybe try polishing it.

Enjoy your new toy!

Best and cheapest upgrade is fitting a lighter trigger spring.
this makes the pistol shoot better.

I collapsed the spring slightly and gave the mating surfaces of the trigger and sear a quick polish.

It lightened the trigger to half its original weight and made it much smoother. I plan to fit a trigger shoe as well.

A heavy trigger and a tendency for muzzle flip are the only bad things with this pistol, and both are easily fixed.

Steel Breech, extended probe and trigger kit.

SD and GMAC for the breech, GMAC or TR Robb for the trigger kit.

Also worth a look on the Crosman Air Pistol Owners Forum - www.capof.net

Some ideas here, showing some of mine:

Another vote for the trigger kit, I've just fitted the GMAC one and its turned it into a totally different gun!
