Okay, here is another way to add a Picatinny rail to your gun. This time I chose my trusty 2289 Backpacker because I wanted to use a Red Dot for fast critter acquisition. I used the same Magpul piece, trimmed front and rear to better fit the front of the Crosman metal breech, that I used in the 2240 Picatinny rail modification.
You can see the two holes in the breech that I drilled and tapped for 10-24 x 1/4" button head screws. You can also see in the picture of the breech the two additional holes I drill and tap for 8-32 x 3/32" set screws. I do this to most all my breechs where I have a longer barrel mounted.
The only thing I might try on my next installation is to mill out the underside of the Magpul Picatinny mount so it will set closer to the boresight of the gun

Thanks ped, I thought the same thing. Especially after I used one or two of those adapters and they just didn't sit well.
