Well i have been shooting my stock 2240 a lot lately knowing i was going to use it in a match this month.Practicing every day it's a old buzzard from 1999 and finally she broke, first the bolt handle snapped off then she started leaking from the front of the valve. So as most of us do i have the parts on hand. This is the first time i had to do any work on this old dog. You can see how flat the front seal got from over the years of use.

Seems like a tuneup is in order. You've gotten a lot of use out of it.RC
Well it's been 2 hrs. you got her up and running ?
Did you leave a cartridge/powerlet parked in her for extended periods of time?

Looks tome like it was used more than a lot. More like lots and lots and lots and lots. How old was this particular 2240 by the serial number?

It's from 1999 .
Whoa, that's the year I was run over by a hit-and-run driver and left for dead in Orlando. Can't say for me that it was a good year. :(

Hmm...that was also the same year I went to Disneyland and took off after I hit a guy crossing the street. Say, you weren't wearing a blue polo shirt that day were you?
