JMJinNC: How do you fill the hammer groove? JB Weld? How do you get it smooth and circular?

I use “high strength” JB Weld, but I mix in some stainless steel filings in the area where the sear drags to increase wear resistance.

Smoothing is easy on the lathe, followed by polishing.

I think I actually have a fluted hammer in my parts box. Amazing the stuff you collect over the years.

This topic describes the hammer fill during a grip frame conversion:

Carl filled the hammer with JB Weld, turned it on the lathe, and coated the epoxy with super glue - IIRC.

Easier to get a 1701/2220 or Challenger hammer.

I bought a 2260 tube & internals set off eBay. Other than my custom breech hold-down strap, this should be a drop-in conversion with a nice long tube to mount a forestock.

I’ll just have to make a hammer spring adjuster and fill in the hammer groove. Easy.

I cast up some more wad cutters yesterday and had to shoot some numbers this morning with my 600.  I'll be looking forward to getting out in the woods
with this gun in the warmer weather, There was one day that I was able to take it in the woods and 4 clicks on elevation works out great for 20 to 30 yds. It
sure is a unique air pistol that was an ingenious design for sure.

BTW, it has been posted that the Custom Shop is operating again.

If you are a CCS customer (have purchased a CCS gun), you may be able to buy an unstamped 2400 gas tube.

The tube is 2250-009.

The valve is 2250-003.    (By implication, the 2250 pre-dates the 2240)

Mudduck. Great find. Thanks! 

CraigH, I’ll price out the 2250 tube. If it’s longer, is the valve longer or the end-cap to take up the extra length?

JMJinNC

2240/2250/2260 models use the same valve, end caps are different - 2250 end cap is Crosman part number 2250-008.

The difference in length is 1.6 inches.
