That looks very nice, far better than standard.
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,

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....
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

Those grips are very nice indeed - I'd go as far as saying they're some of the nicest I've ever seen. You should make some more and sell them to us
Still here after all these years
If anybody wants a pair i`ll make some for £30 posted out of English walnut,
ATB Andy
i have made another pair of very nice figured walnut grips someone has shown an interest in them but as yet ive had no response,

I've got a pair of Andy's grips on my Tempest and very nice they are too...
Looks good mate. How much did it cost for all the mods? Are they legal?!

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!!!
