Update 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.

Thanks 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.

Back 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.

This is a free online tool that can help.  Alternatively you can reduce the size with PAINT, which is very user friendly...   :-*

Beautiful pistol KevinP.  :-*

I just received an e-mail today from Don Cothran...  He asked me if the 2400 breech and the 2300 breech are the same.  I'm assuming they are; if someone has a definitive answer, please post it here. 

Thank you.
