Crosman air pistol - General discussion / Re: Availability of Don Cothra...
Last post by Drdan - February 22, 2024, 05:37:33 AMUPDATE
My sister communicated with Don, and ordered a 3/8" stainless steel barrel band and a stainless steel standard sized 2400 breech. Don mentioned that he will probably retire at the end of the year, and my sister said that he was super friendly and helpful.
Apparently he has many parts that are not necessarily listed on his website as was the breeech that I ordered. Various websites attest to the fact that his parts are very nicely machined and finished. If anyone is presently modding a Crosman or contemplating doing so, give Don a call or use the online parts request form. Some of his SS parts are not available on other websites, and the supply will dry out in the not too distant future...

Last post by flairgunner77 - February 17, 2024, 02:40:39 PMUpdate to my last post. On 6 Feb I got a phone call from Jesse at Leapers apologizing for not answering my warranty request in a more timely manner. After providing serial number, etc. I was given detailed instructions on how to return the red dot to Leapers for either repair or replacement. Earlier this week, i got a box from them with a hat, badge, and a new UTG Micro Dot red dot scope. I had written the scope off as a bad investment and was pleased to get a nice red dot to mount on my 2300S. It kind of restored my faith in American manufacturing and I wanted to share my experience with a company that stands behind its products with forum readers. Dave B

Last post by Drdan - February 12, 2024, 06:24:45 PMThanks CraigH.
I'll order a 2400 Regular (long) SS breech from Don. It will look nice on the pistol.

2300S already has the 2400 (long) breech.
On 2300K is .177 and 2400K is .22 --- when building a CCS 2300K or 2400K, either caliber may be selected.

Crosman air pistol - General discussion / Re: Availability of Don Cothra...
Last post by mr007s - February 12, 2024, 12:12:31 PMBack in the day I built a 25 cal PCP with a crosman 2300 parts and other sourced parts for the build.
One of those quality parts was a DC SS breech. I sent it off to be jewelled with other SS goodies.
I would sell the breech because I am thinking to part it off as I have moved on and no longer shoot it.
Warning, it wont come cheap, see how many SS breaches have you located that are foe sale.

Ok, since you used the words, "2300" and "2400", and did not use, 2300S and 2300T, I believe you are talking about the 2300K and 2400K Custom Shop guns.
Hi CraigH, and thank you for your input. Will the 2400 breech be a "drop in" piece for my 2300S? I'm keeping my fingers crossed... Thanks again.
Custom Shop 2400K has the long steel breech like the AS2250 and 2300S, part number AS2250-025. And has the rearward located 4-48 machine screw.
Custom Shop 2300K has the short steel breech like the 2300T, part number 2300-047. And has the rearward located 4-48 machine screw.
Neither of these are the breeches in the Steel Breeches Kits.
EDIT:
There was another steel breech - may not be available now. The Discovery rifle had a breech like the AS2250 breech, but without the rear sight dovetail - part number 1761-019.
The Maximus rifles use the AS2250 breech.
