Sight help please 2240 crosman

[Gerrygg]

Hi newbie no nothing here
I recently bought a used 2240 Crosman .22 for very close rat shooting I tried it out and was amazed how accurate it was at the short ranges I need
but it was so loud !!
and so I googled and watched videos and bought an adapter and a very efficient Silencer a Hogan Decimeater it really does make it a lot better but here`s the rub I lost the front sight and am a bit stuck as to how I can overcome this with a very limited budget
I need something I can use in low light ? I was hoping someone made a kinda clip on the silencer type front sight or is this just in my head ?

any help /advice appreciated thanks for reading

You need a nice GMAC brass silencer adapter with front sight pin.

As above, they work a treat and you can cut the length of the pin to suit your sight, pellets and range to get it close then fine adjust with the adjustable rear sight.
If your pistol has scope grooves on the breech then HW77 rear sights fit nicely and are a great improvement. This is what I use on mine along with the GMac adaptor.

Have fun!

Another way to "silence" the 2240 a bit is to cut down on the striker spring.
The 2240 wastes a LOT of gas after the pellet has left the muzzle, because the striker bounces on the valve.
Cutting down the spring within limits will not reduce muzzle velocity very much, and reduces both muzzle blast and gas consumption.

I've heard this many times and must get round to doing it to mine one day.

Crosmans can be a money pit.

Fit a scope?
They do plastic blocks that clamp to the barrel to give you a dovetail fitting. Work OK ish, but very easy to knock the scope off zero.
Fit a steel breach and fit a pistol scope?
Or steel breach, Crosman stock, and something like a Simmons – 1.5-5x32.

Mine has SAK moderator, steel breach Nikko Mountmaster 3-9x40, Crosman Stock, replace trigger spring and add spring guide, polish sears.
Pellet on pellet at 8 yds, very quiet apart from hitting the target, 1/4" group standing, unrested, with a kind of 2 handed pistol grip.
