Well I finally did it, I ordered a 6.5 moderator from TKO for my 2240. I hope it's all it's cracked up to be!
That'll quiet things up!
It definitely makes a difference, although not as much as the huge DonnyFL.
You will like it ......
First time I fired my 1377 with mine, for a split second I thought it "Failed to Fire", then the pellet hit the target.
Honest.
I was so impressed with my first TKO moderator that now I own 5 and bought another one on Saturday.
Moderators on crosman guns are just brilliant. Much like HoosierDaddy the first time I used one I thought I'd forgotten to put a co2 cartridge in.
What are the internals like on the TKO?
I have a TKO for the 1720T.
I won't put one on the 2300S cause I like the open sights.
The TKO that Kevin sent me with the 850 is absolutely incredible. It took that rifle from an almost .22LR bark to a whimper. I thought I was mis-firing, but ran it over the chrony and was reassured of no fps or clipping. It is a big one though. All the others I've had were smaller for my 22xx shooters and while effective, not as quiet as this one.
Does the tko just get attached with a couple of allen screws and does it change your poi?
Secured with set screw or screws.
TKO does a pretty good job of not clipping.
On this one for the 850, it has two set screws at 180 degrees from each other. I originally mounted it with the screws at 12 and 6 o'clock. My poi was all over the place. So I rotated the screw position to 3 and 9 o'clock. All is well now. I really think that the length of this one makes alignment more difficult. This one is 7" long.
For the money, the TKO is the best in the business. IMHO Others may be a few decibels lower, not sure, but they cost a bunch more. And they, TKO, have incredible service of their products.
I use the TKO on all my guns, the neighbors have no idea :) :D
I just read on another forum where a guy says to stop shooting and put a fresh co2 cartridge in when your pellets start to drop or you could damage your tko. Is he right?

I expect that if they're dropping so much so as to hit the bottom of the inside of the pickle, they would fall on the ground just a couple of yards away.

I think that if that were true Mike would put a "warning" on his web site. After dealing & talking with him over the years he is so honest, if that could damage his TKO, he would sure let you know.
Why you would want to shoot a cartridge so low that the pellet "falls out" of the barrel, IDK.
Although, no worries as Mike will fix your TKO if you double load & shoot two pellets through it and mess it up.
As mentioned the shorter TKO are good for the pumpers & CO2 while the longer are best for PCP.

I had a pellet in my moderator the other day, but that was off a cartridge practically empty. Zero damage to aluminium baffles.
I expect any pellet with just enough energy to leave the barrel but drop 1mm over the short distance of a mod isn't going to have the energy to do any damage.
I count my shots when setting up a new 22xx. Once I know the magic number, there are no more worries about getting a pellet stuck in a barrel or dropping poi.
A stock 2240 gets approx. 35 good shots..... Approximately. New cart after that for me unless I've tuned over a chrony.
Yeah, I do to, I get about 25 shots before it starts dropping. By the way my 6.5 tko is due today, I hope that's not too long of one.
Tko is installed and I am truly amazed. You guys were right this thing is incredible! I might have to put one on my 2260 rifle!
Well I got my 2240 sighted in dead on at 10 yards and with the tko it still was. It is dove season here in Indiana and I spotted one at about 35 yards so I aimed high 3 times and I thought wow I think the co2 cartridge is maybe leaking or something because that's how it sounded. So I thought what the heck and I put the red dot dead on and that sucker dropped like a rock!
I've heard, but could not give a link or tell you from experience yet, that it may improve the accuracy too, by peeling off turbulent air right after the pellet exits the barrel so that turbulence can't kick the pellet around.
I ordered the 6.5 TKO for my 2240 yesterday, got a email today saying it has shipped.
It also came with a free 1911 trigger.
You will be amazed at the difference!
Does anyone know if TKO makes any with a 1/2-20 thread to fit the new 2240XL?

According to a email conversation I had with the owner they do have. I would email him, he will get back with you.
Thanks. I think I found it on his website. Looks like I'm going to need to order something custom. The 1/2"- 20 ldc for the 2240xl is 6.5" long. I'm looking for one in the 5" range. I can give up a little noise to stay more compact.
Well see. Need to save up 👌
BTW: I like the way he divided up his website into sections. Makes sense to me...

You're right, he did say 6.5 was the shortest one he had for the 2240 XL.
He did tell me that the 5" one was about 25% louder than the 6.5, hope you find what you're looking for.

25% less quiet will work out fine for me. Out here, I just want to take the edge off the mark. Neighbors can't hear anyway, for the most part 🙉
muzzle brakes are possible the only airgun related items we have it easier with in the UK(laws)
to my eyes the TKO's don't look a patch on the ones we have or can make and the weihrauch ones are a sort of benchmark for them
