2240 ^^


View attachment 3846584

I really like the 3.5 and 4oz bottles the 4oz are a pain to find but they are exempt from hydro testing. Most paintball shops charge under a buck to fill one. I’ve got a bunch of them as I’ve been collecting them for a number of years. Have a few with on off valves, and even a few police issued ones that were used for riot control guns that shot rubber/metal projectiles. One 3.5oz cylinder I get about 120- 150 shots, the 4oz I get about 150-200. Have some 7oz bottles i can shoot all day on one of those. I can connect a remote line as well to a backpack fed 24oz tank lol no idea how many shots off the larger tanks never been able to empty one with a day of shorting.

The 2240s are just a lot of fun

my 2240 is stock except for new grip scales in mahogany, which I just ordered... I want to keep it as a pistol... I also have a 1322 and 2 Backpacker models with the same pump action but longer barrels and a skeleton stock... these are being converted to pistols as well...

I’ve got some parts set aside for a nice 2240 pistol with a 10” barrel. I’ve got a nice short aluminum breech for it as well. I like the steel breeches better but this will give it cool look.

I order one of those HPA conversion kits for it the ones that thread into the valve assembly. I like the idea is C02 but the kit looks kinda cool.

To be perfectly honest Jo, I'm not a fan of the looks of the modded 2240's, with bottles and things hanging off it, when I can buy another walnut stocked Diana 350 magnum for about the same price... I realize a great part of the appeal for you is the modding process, and you have great results, but yeah, not a fan of all the stuff hanging off it visually... :(

Tracers, a gift from a fellow air gun lover ^^

This is an early Crosman Mark 1.

Fully gone through and every seal replaced. Has a Walther barrel, and I have all the added swag for this one. I have the adaptor to run a remote line to it and run a 20oz paintball tank if wanted. Or you can just refill it off the remote line, or you can run a standard 12g cartridge.

Whats unique about the mark 1s is it expands the CO2 in the gun, on a little 12g cartridge I get about 35-40 good shots with it. On a 4oz paintball tank I get about 170-200 shots per fill.

I have a love for the mark 1s I’ve rebuilt a good 10 or so of them.

Here’s my early Crosman posted way back in 2020. I am reminded I need to get it out and play.

It’s fun but I shoot real guns if I want to actually shoot.

I hear you. I also enjoy shooting “real guns”, and own several, but where I live it’s getting harder and harder to find safe and legal places to shoot them enough to keep the skills honed. Using a powder burner to control varmints in my neighborhood will certainly get you arrested and rightfully so. I find a quality PCP an ideal tool for my application. Keeping the pellet below 1000fps, and using a moderator, they are totally backyard friendly. As long as I am careful, and use a decent backstop, it is generally safe to get some quick trigger time in. The biggest issue with a PCP is initial equipment cost. I can shoot a tin of 500 pellets for pennies compared to live rounds but the gun itself can be very expensive. In addition to the airgun you also need a source for filling its tank to 4500psi. I have a compressor and a 9L storage tank. Together they cost as much as the airgun.

I just bought 2x .22 powder burners- a Ruger 10/22 in stainless/polymer and a Winchester Wildcat SC with bull barrel, and more of a target rifle... both on big sales from Bass Pro Shop, and MUCH cheaper than any of my air rifles!! I can shoot them in my backyard as I'm out partially in the bush, and everyone has rifles up here... :)

I like the 10/22 have a few of them, but I like the Browning SA22 a little more. Have shot a few of them but never been able to get my hands on one.

I reached out to Browning and they gave me a list of stores they work with in my area. I am on the wait list at one local shop, they said it could take up to a year or more for them to get one for me as they have others a head of me in line. I hope to find one sooner but if not should be worth the wait.

Finally got my Ruger and compared to my air rifles, it's a 4 lb toy! Ever funny! My TX200 is 10 lbs with scope!! My Diana 350 magnum dwarfs if in size and weight!! There is so much more steel in an air rifle (plus a larger wood stock instead of polymer)... I just thought the difference was funny... :P

We have a number of 10/22s super upgradable. You can actually find stocks for them on eBay some as low as 80 bucks.

Dying to get an SA-22, I’ve also been on the market for another 22 revolver.
 
My pistols... Got a couple sets of walnut grip scales coming- the 2240 gets a set, and the 1322... The Backpacker has a skeleton stock (got 2 of these) which is coming off one and the original grips from the 2240 go on one instead :)
Oh yeah- all are .22 cal. :)
