I won a brand new 2240 at a GTA fun shoot this weekend

[Tater]

I guess I'll finally be joining you CO2 guys. There is now a ton of reading for me to do about these guns. I'm kind of sharing it with my wife (for now) and we finally have a gun she can shoot all by herself.

yay... go shoot it and enjoy

yay... go shoot it and enjoy

Sure will! We did give it a "test drive" on Sunday. Now I wonder just how much this "free" air gun is going to cost me (mods...).     

[BDS]

Actually... the first and most important mod... the trigger polishing and lighter coil spring is free or less than $2, just your time and patience and some reading up on the polishing process here or GTA or the web, Mike (Cross hairs) has several videos he's made on tear down and re-assembly, PM him if you can't find the videos.

The 2240 is really an awesome gun and lately it has once again become my favorite shooter.  It is very simple to take apart and there is tons of stuff on-line if you need help.  Get the EVP from the Crosman website as that will help immensely.

Oh... he already knows about the trigger mod. I read his post on it for his 1377.

Thanks guys and good memory about my 1377 Brent. The fun shoot was a great time. I felt a bit out of place with my pea shooters (!377, Gamo Hornet, Wife's P-17), but I got to try out an FX Independence, FX Boss, Daystate Huntsman and numerous Mrods.
These guys were shooting everything around 60+ yards, but for someone stuck indoors normally like me, it was really cool to shoot out to 30 yards.
It was my first event like that and was a great experience. The 8-9- hour drive just to shoot for the weekend was pretty rough though. Hated going back to work today.   

Edit: It came with a box of 15 CO2's and a tin of CPHP's which was great  because my guns are all .177 and no CO2.
