Tater you won a very cool air gun the 2240 as you know is very accurate and fun to shoot now get ready to do some mods open up that wallet. You will soon be bitten and most likely will get another one.

Sounds like you had fun... Cool

Even better with the carts and pellets

So how did you win it? Was it a raffle or door prize?

It was a raffle. We couldn't afford too many tickets but some guys bought a ton. All for a good cause though.
I was shocked that I won it, it was the one of the few things I could use. I've been wanting one too.

Congrats Tater, hope you can get it back from your Wife.

rangerfredbob · April 03, 2013, 07:12:13 AM

Cool that you got one, congrats.

They're cool guns, very similar to your 1377 as you know by now I'm sure, I say leave it mostly stock other than lightening the trigger, and stick a longer barrel on it if you want it quieter (they're dang loud...), or maybe get a longer .177 barrel and bolt if you only want to have one size of pellet around... I think mine is going to stay stock other than lightening the trigger and putting a longer barrel on it (I'm going to use the barrel off my 2289 and get a 18" barrel for it)

Thanks guys, and I hope so too Dave.

They are pretty loud and I was thinking about getting a TKO. Then I would either need a new rear sight (with steel breech) or a steel breech and scope. It never ends!!!!

No Tater unfortunately it doesn't stop it will never be truly complete ever

Nah... just drill a small hole in the TKO end cap (at 90 dgerees

) and make your own sight from a 1/8" welding rod or other small dia stuff like a good finishing nail. Actually, Mike at TKO will do that front sight for you IIRC, just ask him.
