My new Crosman custom 2300KT arrived this past Saturday and I've been getting acquainted with it compared to my 2240 that I customized. So far, so good! I ordered mine with the long steel breech, 10.1" Lothar-Walther barrel, black muzzle brake, Williams notched rear sight, walnut target grips, and a brass trigger shoe. It's very nicely finished and came with a test target with a five shot group at 10 yards measuring less than 3/8". Just wish that I was that good offhand (LOL).
Oddly enough, the adjustable trigger came with a trigger pull of about 6 lbs. I've readjusted it to about 2 1/2 lbs. and it will probably go a bit lower. I've got a spare red dot that I can put on it but will probably stay with the iron sights for now. If somebody has one of these, what additional mods have you made?
I'd love to attach pics but still haven't figured out how to do it.
I put a Super Sear in my 2300S.
Steve (I don't know his last name) sells them.
I think he is on Airgun Nation??
Trigger breaks like glass.
I found the front post to be a bit too narrow so I put some rubber insulation on the front post.
It fills the Williams sight better, IMHO.
Hi;
I agree that the front post should be wider and I'll try to put a "sleeve" on it like you did. I put a super sear in my 2240 and it works very well. I got mine on e-bay from AlchemyAirWerks.

Congrats on the new pistol

OK. Thanks, Brutuz. I'll work on that tomorrow.

Here is a link for the sear.
I love the combination of the custom shop sear spring adjuster combined with the super sear.

For those of you who have installed a Super Sear, did you do any polishing on it or just drop it in as delivered? The one I put in my 2240 didn't seem to need any polishing and it works fine.
Dropped it in..

A polish never hurts :)
Both. There was one that was a little rough. No to bad as I remember. They remain an alternative to the more costly 1701p upgrade.
Here's a try to upload a picture. The upper is my 2240 that I'm customizing and the lower is the 2300KT.
Great! Downsized and downloaded. It showed on my computer screen and disappeared. Can't find it anywhere on my iMac. Can't spend anymore time on this now.
Sorry.
If at first you don't succeed ....
YEA .... nice looking ... :-*
Beautiful!
Can you give me the part number and price for those grips, please? How did you even know they existed in order to ask for them on the first place?
Very nice and great it worked upping a picture :-*
for Sweller;
When you go to the Crosman Custom Shop to order a 2300KT or 2240KT you have several choices for grips. Mine are the RH walnut target grips which are SKU 2300-118 for $47.94. I would expect that those grips will also fit the 2240 and others with the same frame. I'm going to make the unfinished grips on my 2240 match up as closely as I can.
How low can you get the trigger pull with the Super Sear drop in?
Hi,
The Super Sear will give you a significant drop in trigger pull weight just by giving you a two stage trigger. Combining that with the sear spring adjuster that comes standard with the 2300KT allows you to fine tune the trigger. Keep in mind that you need to feel the point when the 1st stage shifts to the 2nd stage to take advantage of it. A friend of mine tried shooting with my pistol and never sensed when that shift occurred until I explained the proper technique to him.
You can buy an adjustable sear spring kit from a couple of online parts suppliers. AlchemyAirWerks on e-bay has them.
Yep with that custom shop adjuster you can find a pretty sweet stopping point before it breaks. Just remember the the fist slam (minus a pellet) can be your friend. Don't want an accidental discharge! One tip is.... A small dot of Blue loc-tire in the adjuster threads once you are sure it is what you want for a feel. That nut will move over time.

With regards to the 1701p upgrade, my understanding is that the 1701p lower pistol grip assembly will fit on the 2300 without modification. Correct or are some modifications required?

You are correct
Won't it need the hammer mod? Google for "2300kt with 1701P trigger group" and the first hit is a thread from this very forum. :D
If it needs the hammer mod, it might also need the sear/tube mod.
Thanks!
