What is your current Crosman project ?

[NorthStaR]

Thats a sweet lookin pistol heres my plain jane 2240 .

You know I'd forgotten what a cool gun it looks before its covered in brass 'n' tubes and breaks 'n' optics.

I always see them with the Joker length barrel, it's nice to see a shorty.

it was shooting pretty low so i flat topped it today using a modded 130 piston and the valve out of my LS13XX.it also needed a new loading gate,that was installed also,it still needs a .177 insert,will see how it does with the .20 insert.also added a washer behind the hammer spring.made a new pin for the quick release
still have to run it through the chrony.it sounds better than before.its a shooter not a collector,so mods a good thing

Im waiting for a brass breech, two brass barrel bands,and two hollow probes from GMAC. I might do a all brass super bling 2240 or a 1377  Not sure.

   This is gonna be a sweet shooter ...

Thanks Mike. I wouldn't have gotten even this far without the great information/advice from all you fine folks here. Thank you all.

You can't wait? I feel like a 5 yr old on Christmas eve! Worst thing is, I haven't done anything to it except a trigger tune since I posted pics  . Been working 6, sometimes 7 days a week for the last month and a half. Starting to slow down a bit now though.

HA! If you can believe it, the wife just come through the door just now as I'm typing this, with my tank block to mount my HPA bottle! One step closer to them shot strings. WOOHOO!!!

As soon as I get it finished (whenever that'll be), I will post some numbers for you.

2240 came yesterday in mail, waiting for e-bay win's to start rebuilding my Crosman 140. Got rid of my g/f yesterday she will be replaced by 2240 mods.
Thanks for the great eye candy.

Project list update:

2240 added. It was going to be a 1377 but they didn't have it in stock. To be kept minimal.
I have a repro leather WWII M3 or M7 tank 1911 holster for it. Cross-draw, the only way to holster. Put 'em up!

Out the box, the 2240 shoots 7FPE with 14.3 GRN WASPs.

It would seem that all the pistols I buy are over the UK limit, even as stock. And they are purchased within the UK.

I sense the grey cloud of rubber laws blowing in? 
I abide as best I can but how many average people buy guns and chrony them - none, and they're all over the UK limit.
That's every single purchase of a 2240 within the UK! Still compared to my EB22 its a weakling. 

If I cut the barrel to the length of the gas tube do you think it would lower the power much? 6 FPE is the target but I may let it sit as is?
I guess it would be easier to add a power adjuster and wind it out to slacken off the spring. Seems springs do the controlling to a degree.

starting my 2250b build i had the tube and rear cap already.got the steel breech,barrel band and forearm assembly today.
this is my first co2 build,so far it is easier than the disco build.

Hey picture guys all my pictures are too large to download to this site. Do you shink them down or use photo bucket or ??

[JEBert]

Jogle,
I shrink mine using Microsoft Paint because it is what I have on my computer.  When you have a picture open in Paint, go up to the menu, you click on Image, and choose Stretch/Skew and type in what percent of the original you want to see and click OK.  Be sure to keep the original aspect ratio by choosing the same percent for both horizontal and vertical.  My little Canon takes large pics so I usually reduce to 50% or less to post here.
Cheers,
Jerry
