Custom Crosman 2240

[Geezer]

You could do all that stuff.

Or you could just track down a Benjamin 252.

Picked up the Crosman this afternoon. Over the chrono it was showing a very consistant 4.8 ft/lb. I have opened the Tp from 2.7mm to 3.2mm, taken 56mm from the barrel (breech end) and 10mm from the main body tube with alterations as necessary to the screw in plug. This is now as short as it can get with a 12g capsule. I am waiting for a steel breech before rebuild and testing, but should have pics and results on Monday. I'm also looking at the grip and wondering where I can find a bandsaw to take an inch out of that? I'm thinking cut and shut of both the frame and grips using cunning and epoxy glues.

The steel breech has arrived supernfast from JS Ramsbottom (as usual). Heres a pic.

Now I need a rear sight to fit the crosswise dovetail, can anyone point me to one available in the Uk?

These chaps may be of some help

That's cute, Mr Bum.

Are you loving it?

The last time I looked, I seem to remember that SD Custom Designs were possibly cheaper for the MiM rear sight.

Or, maybe, if you have one knocking about, have you considered using a HW77 one?

I contacted SD designs last week as I couldn't buy one on the website, there's been no reply so I gave up and ordered one from the states. The 77 one is too high, but I did put a pistol scope on to test accuracy. Cutting the barrel at the breech end paid dividends as its still doing small geoups at 10m, but the scope looks daft!

worth looking at the Williams wrgs 54 sight you need to swap the peep for a notched element though

I've done a bit of research on the Stubbies, I'm hoping to do one that takes the 8g co2 cylinders.
As for the sights a few I've seen from over in the states that have Benjamin discovery sights with fibre optic that look nice.
