Crosman 2300T review

That's an excellent mod.  I use a bolt with a magnet in the rear that holds it back against the cocking pin.

Not sure of this is the way the OP is doing it but here is a picture of another way to make a bolt-hold-open mod.

I have got the bolt magnets from Crosman (2300S-001 @ $1.15ea.)  Drill the rear of the bolt & glue then in.  Of course you could just buy an extended bolt (Cothran) w/magnet already there.

That's the way I did mine Carl ...

I think the check ball would give a nice mechanical feel.  On the other hand, the magnet would have no wear.

All these difficult decisions to make just stress me out !!! 

I've never done the magnet trick ... I was always worried about "stuff" sticking to the magnet ... you know, when I take my gun and roll it in the big pile of dirt on my floor ?...

ya ... I worry way TOOOOOO much ....

On the lighter side ...
I did put all stainless setscrews, button heads and grip screws in it to kinda "spruce it up a tad" ... I also made an aluminum "left handed" safety for it ...
I SWORE I wasn't going to do anything to this one except shoot it ... ya ... right ...
