They are beautifully finished and very nicely shaped.  I thought I would prefer a gloss finish, but am now sold on the matte oil finish. I trust that they will fit very nicely.  All I need now is a pistol to attach them to.  :)   

I had the grips made in Zebra wood (Zebrano).  I was going to get the best quality walnut or even Thuya burl, but my efforts were an exercise in futility.  The Zebra wood is very attractive; it will look nice with the black nitride on the CO2 tube, the flat black powder coat on the grip frame, the stainless breech, and the stainless caps and barrel band.

Teun Meen in Holland is nearing completion of my 2300S, and once it is sent to me here in Germany, I will take photos, and list all the upgrades that were made.

Have a nice weekend guys!

Crosman air pistol - General discussion / Re: Frankenstein Crosman

Quote from: flairgunner77 on March 06, 2024, 01:52:24 PMI got a price for a 10" LW barrel from Alliance Hobby but at $85 for a 10", I need to think about whether that pistol is worth it as I already have a 2300S and 2300T, both with LW barrels. I'll call Crosman today to see if they sell 10" LW barrels. If not I may try a 14" barrel if that will improve accuracy. Thanks for the resize info and I'd love to paste in a picture but the iPad IOS is different than either my Windows laptop or my MacMini computer so I'll have to use one of them this afternoon. The iPad is more convenient, recliner ops, but lacks some capabilities.  More later today.


I got my second 10" LW barrel for $63.60 shipped. 2300 002 is the part number.

You're right, the two .177 14.6" ones I have are more accurate.

I see. Ok, you say that your breeches have less gap on the sides then? Or none at all? I'm curious, please cold you take a photo of your 13xx Crosmans with steel breech from the rear?

I mean, if it works it's good. The Crosmans are quite basic air guns, there's no real need for higher precision. Only, I'm used to powder-guns where even older stuff is dependant on a tight  fit. There there's alot of power involved so you need a solid, well made peice. Though I should perhaps not compare the two categories, twas only an observation.

Thanks Kevin  :-* P.

Looking at the gas tube, you will need to drill 2 holes to mount the stock ...

Thanks Craig.  I've ordered lots of upgraded parts and oftentimes all the compatible models are listed. When thet are not I usually ask. From now on when I see "compatible with 22XX I'll know that this includes 23XX as well.  :-*   

Is this a so called "drop in" part, or are some modifications needed on my pistol?

Thanks again!  :)

Greetings,

The retractable AR-15 style stock seen below, made for the 22XX platform is a really nice and slick option.  Does this specific style retractable stock exist for 23XX models?

Thank you.  :-*

So, I do understand your explanation of the situation related to the differences in the tube diameters with that of the 2240 and the 13xx series. I just now went to the "man Cave" and checked my 1377 & my 1322 that both were outfitted with a steel breech from Crosman. I'm just not seeing as much "gapage" as you seem to be experiencing. I'm not saying that you're not seeing the differences you describe just that I'm not. I've never considered my upgrades to meet Swiss watch precision. I do suppose that it's possible that the milling of the breech has changed (different milling machine, different contractor etc) over the years. I purchased mine perhaps 10 years ago. Also, this is the first discussion that I recall RE: this issue. If this is a new issue that might explain that. I'm also pretty sure if the issue existed 10+ years ago, there would have been plenty of discussion on this forum. It's possible though, that I either missed it or chose not to care.

Ofcourse. Looking at both pistols from the side we notice that the diameter of the main tube (body) has a larger diameter on the Crosman 2240, than on the 1377 and 1322 pump-guns.

You cannot view this attachment.

Taking another look from the rear at each gun, because the breeches are identical (these are the plastic type) they fit differently. On the 2240 it fits flush and nicely together as the radius of the breech's bottom follows the diameter of the pistol body.

You cannot view this attachment.

Since the 1377 / 1322 have a smaller body diameter, this breech does not fit perfectly. It is still usable and mounts well with exact match of screw holes, and being mechanically compatible. However, it does not mate with the bottom of the breech very well.

You cannot view this attachment.

And the same goes for the metal breeches, as they are intended for the larger diameter body of the 2240 and 2300, the CO2 type guns, the breeches *could* fit the 1377 and 1322 too, however with the difference in diameter of body the radius of the breech bottom will only fit perfectly on the CO2 type pistols.

Let me know if you'd like further explanation.
