Crosman air pistol - General discussion / Re: I sure do need alot of hel...

Last post by COUNTYMOUNTY - August 28, 2024, 04:12:00 AM

Hi farrlarr,  thanks for the response!  I guess I could do that but my purpose for getting it was to turn it into a carbine.  But I am kind of anxious to put a few rounds down the tube.  It came with the steel breech but no iron sights.  It does have an 11mm dovetail.  I am an old school iron sight guy but the thought of coming on target quick with a red dot or scope might be fun. Would you just clamp on to that dovetail or add a rail?  I was also thinking about getting the 9 round GRAVmag so would most likely need to mount whatever sighting system a bit higher.  Any thoughts on the mag?  The idea of not loading single rounds has an appeal.

I got a 5 shot Grav Mag last year for my 2240 plastic breech. It works great. I will be buying another 9 shots GravMag for my steel breech

Crosman air pistol - General discussion / 2240 aluminum breech

Last post by COUNTYMOUNTY - August 28, 2024, 04:06:24 AM

I ordered a new steel breech. But while I was surfing the net. I found some aluminum breech for 2240 on Amazon.
Have any of you used an aluminum one.

I replaced the trigger spring for a lighter pull. [url="http://[url="https://postimages.org/\""][/url]]

5 shots with the sight mod. A bit tighter group. I will put more rounds through to see what adjustments are needed in sighting.
I will need to put thousands of rounds out to get any real improvement.

First mod is to get a clearer sight line. So I picked up some florescent paint.

First 5 shots from 10meters standing one hand.
Very shaky. I need to develop better steadiness.  [url="http://[url="https://postimages.org/\""][/url]]

I figured I will start a thread to follow my 1377. There hopefully be many mods that I will perform over time.

Freshly opened box.

Crosman air pistol - General discussion / Re: Question for Drdan

Last post by Drdan - August 01, 2024, 07:52:46 AM

Drdan, your 2300s pistol is a pretty slick looking airgun. I am getting ready to mount a red dot on my 2300S and I would like to know if your red dot interferes with the loading of your pistol. At 79 years old I'm afraid my fingers aren't very nimble so I need lots of room to load pellets.  After the 2300s, there are three other long breech Crosman pistols waiting for their red dots so anything you could share on how you reached your choice of reflex versus prismatic would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks! Dave B

Hi Dave.  With my Holosun green dot it is not difficult but it would be a lot easier without the scope.  I just need to carefully cock it each time with my right hand and with my left place the pellet on the ramp and tilt the pistol downward so I hear the particular thunk when it's correctly inserted.  Then I carefully slide the probe in with the handle and turn it downwards.

In the beginning I jammed a few pellets, and placed a cleaning rod down the barrel to release the pellet.    My technique is now "muscle memory", and I don't have any more problems.

It's a single shot, so I don't mind the meticulous methodology.  It just takes a hundred pellets or so until you have the technique down pat. The gun shoots exceptionally well, and the Holosun in my experience is exceptional.

I had my heart set on a green dot so I went with the reflex.  I read a bunch of reviews, and they sold me on the choice.

I trust that you'll have a good experience with your scope as well!
