The Ultimate Crosman CO2 pistol

[The Zen Master]

I will probably order a 2300KT from Crosman with a long steel breech, 10" barrel and blade front sight in .22 and I wondered what ch'all might add to it to improve the performance - is it possible to hot rod? If so, how?

I have a P1322 with long steel breech, Benjamin Marauder trigger, and a Burris Fastfire 3 and I really like the Fastfire so probably put one on the new pistol too.

I had a Crosman .177 CO2 pistol in the late 70's (cartridge screwed in to pistol grip) and it wasn't all that great. I'm guessing the quality has improved!

I have recently ordered and am waiting for the exact pistol you are thinking about, 2300KT with a long steel breech, 10" barrel and blade front sight in .22.  The only thing I added to the order was a 2x pistol scope with mounts.  It was so inexpensive that I couldn't pass it up.  I have a two stage Marauder trigger assembly that I will be installing on the 2300KT.  Beyond that I don't have plans for anything else other than maybe a TKO muzzle brake.

The 2300KT is really the most economical way to get a really nice CO2 pistol. 

Good luck with your endeavor.

I thought a 2300KT already has the 2-stage trigger? I am pretty sure that the T = target?

Custom Shop guns do not have the 2-state trigger. You will need to add that along with a solid hammer.
My personal recommendation would be to go with a 2400KT in carbine form. That way you can shoot as a rifle with the stock or swap for grips to use as a pistol. The 10.1" LW barrel should be on your purchase . Well worth the money!!

Thank you for the heads-up arkmaker! I would have been disappointed about the trigger - their website shows a 2-stage trigger in the "pictures."

It's a normal trigger with a travel limiting set screw. Don't know why they don't offer the 1701p trigger in the CCS guns.

OK so a 2400KT does not have a 10" LW barrel option - only 14" +. I suppose it could be cut back to 10".

Does anyone know it the 1322 plastic grips will fit the 2400 grip frame?

Oh I know!

I think I would just order the stock separately for the 2300 if you want a 10" barrel.   LW barrels IMO are too good to cut down.

Yes, the 1322 grips will fit a 2400.  They use the same grip frame.

Oh I know! 

Isn't the Benjamin Marauder pistol trigger (the same trigger I installed on my P1322 American Classic) the same trigger as a 1701P? It looks exactly the same to me???

If my thinking is right I should get the 2300 with the 10" LW and add the Benjamin Marauder trigger myself.

Marauder pistol, 1701, and 1720 trigger assemblies are the same.    Technically, called grip frame assembly by Crosman.

Ordered 2300 KT with 10" LW barrel, long steel breech, normal front sight, and standard plastic grips.

I will order the Marauder Grip Frame Assembly after the pistol gets here.

I guess I need another Fastfire 3!

[The Zen Master]

I'm curious what kind of scope I might could get for the $200 cost of a Burris Fastfire 3?

Learned something new! I always assumed that the m-rod pistol and the m-rod rifle shared the same trigger assembly.

I should have added the assembly part number - 2220-103.
