    Got lots more bits on their way already.
    Looking good! What's the fore-end mount you have there?
    I have more fun building and tinkering with crosmans than I do shooting them
    About time I started another 2240 project I think...
    Good deals with these members

    Thumbs up Back when our club allowed it...

    Shooting spent shotgun shells with my new to me, .22 Webley Alecto using open sights. I see you've already had the pleasure though...

    However, there's nothing like hitting something like a shotgun shell slightly hidden behind a spinner target, or layed flat like a 3/4 inch target and having them ping off in random directions, made me feel like a shooting god! I also made various reactive targets using fun snaps and paper caps concertina'd and sellotaped to old bits of hardboard.

    Brilliant fun!!!

    It's a 3d printed one from that 'orrible Internet auction site. I'm hopefully fitting the longer steel breech tonight which should suit it better.

    Most fun from a pistol has to be the Crosman 600 when it goes full auto, the only problem being you don't know exactly where the pellets are going, as it catches you unawares.

    Thankfully never had that happen with mine It's been as good as gold all the time I have had it. Happily runs with 11 Accupel each time and I get four "mags" per CO2. Must admit though, they are that much fun, the temptation to just blast away instead of taking slow considered shots is sometimes too much
