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.

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?

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?
