Crosman air pistol - General discussion / Does an AR-15 style RETRACTABL...

Last post by Drdan - March 17, 2024, 09:26:59 AM

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.

explain in more detail

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.

Crosman breeches, plastic as well as metal ones have the same radius, and are made for models using CO2 cartridges, like the 2240 and 2300. They're not intended for the variable pump-guns such as models 1377 and 1322 as these have a lesser body diameter. Breeches simply don't fit well. Any one noticed this?

It's actually pretty outrageous, they never bothered manufacturing a breech for the 1377/1322.

I'm not exactly sure of what is meant when you say "Breeches simply don't fit well."? I have steel (OEM / Crosman) breeches mounted on my 1377 & 1322 and had no issues either installing them or with their use on the pumper platform. Perhaps you could explain in more detail what you meant.

Thanks to all. Let me try this.  Made it this far with shrink pictures. BTW, both my 2300's have the grip frame upgrade.  I'm good at screwdriver based tasks, not so good at software things. Oh, and I just bought a new Crosman Challenger 2021. Just need to figure out the best small inexpensive compressor to purchase. Dave B

and the nonsense on this forum to post pictures is just that nonsense no other forum that i use has this sort of picture sizing problems

i will not resize pictures and that means everyone has to resize picture when the site itself can fix the problem

On many forums, pictures that are not resized require panning side to side and up and down to see the whole thing, when there's no need for that much resolution, because of posters who think their time is more important than anyone else's.

i think you would be better off going with a 1701p grip frame on the 2300s upper

I 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.
