I got back into airguns only a little over a year ago, when my grandson got interested in shooting. I wanted something easier to shoot than my barrel cocker FWB 124, which when I got it out for him to shoot, had a piston seal that had gone bad, so no go then until I got it reworked. I somehow discovered the Crosman 22xx series, got on here and some other forums and quickly learned how to modify. Fast forward, then next visit from my son and grandson, the grandson asked if he could have my 2300s and I said let's wait and see. My son said ok so last summer I started building him a gun. I picked up one of the 2300T models, polished the piercing pin as a result of my having one sticking in a cartridge, as a precaution, slightly enlarging and angleing the ports in the valve assembly, adding a power adjuster and putting a 1701p trigger under everything. Getting all the parts took several months over the summer and gave it to him this Christmas, unfortunately could not be there to see him unwrap it, but saw him on facetime on our ipad, next best thing. He was excited. I learned a lot here, but have noticed that new threads and replies have diminished a lot over the last year, and yes my postings have dropped off a lot, having built enough co2 guns and really have nothing new to add. The forum still has a wealth of information if one will just look.
