2240 Flow Thru Probe with Grav Mag???

[EmptyTin_Tim]

Hello, I have a PCP converted 2240 XL I put a 10" barrel and am using a Grav Mag on the steel breech. Trying to see if there's easy option to get a little fps boost.

I want to know if anyone has used a Charles Mellon Flow Thru probe with the Grav Mags?

I know it says on there on Grav Mag do not use extended probes as when they're rearward it may not go back far enough to clear the mag and load a pellet.

I asked Charles if the Flow Thru probe would work and if it is expended compared to a normal steel breech probe but he just said to ask the forums and I didn't get an answer about if it is extended.

Any one have experience with these probes and the Grav Mags?

Is Grav Mag that Israeli self defense stuff?

Haha nope it is a business that makes GRAVity MAGazines for 2240 etc

Ebay listing example

the mags are made in the UK and looking at the probes i would think they would be fine but you have to buy to find out

The stock probe is the only one I had that worked with a grav-mag

I like the Grav Mag, very easy to load and compact with the 5 shot variant. I wouldn't give up the magazine for a different probe. Thank you

Could get a 14" barrel to gain more power. I had a 10" barreled pcp 2400 tubed gun that did 21 fpe for 6 shots. Port it out to around .165" and get a power adjuster and .045" spring. Should be all the power you need on a 3000 psi fill.

That is what I've been playing with doing in my head but I keep saying "no, you have a Notos for carbine...keep the 2240 a pistol!!" Lol Cause once you put an LDC on there after the 14" barrel that thing is basically touching the 10 yard target

BTW you made a very clean pistol in that photo. My PCP conversion is more awkward, it has a new way to cock the hammer in that there's a ball you pull back where your power adjuster is on yours. Wish I could get conversion like yours but this one claims it has higher spring power so needed the new way to cock it. Also mine is regulated and I currently get 18 shots / fill but wonder if adjusting the regulator higher than 6 MPA would get me much more before I only can shoot a handful before reloading. I feel like it's balanced well between shots / fill now since that's 3 magazines worth out of the 5 shot Grav Mag (I load it 5 +1). But I am very far from 21 FPE!

Hi tim
I used a hollow probe from g mac custom and didn't really see a difference to be fair.
I found a longer probe was better as the airflow still has to go through a right angle inside the hollow probe.
I'm familiar with your pistol which attaches to the crosman frame.
I would leave regulator as is.
Valve volume is small In cc volume so nothing can be done inside without damaging it.
If I remember correctly you can sweep the transfer port similar to the crosman valve for better air flow.
Where barrel meets transfer port needs to be airtight as a considerable amount of fps will be lost just from this part.
A lighter valve spring may also help and shape of the poppet then your not stressing the pistol to much with heavier hammer spring
