I Finally Got My 2240 Put Back Together

[Moog]

The last part I was waiting for finally arrived and it's all put back together.

Steel breach, CO2 Boss valve, steel bolt assembly from Alchemy AirWerks, and a s

mooth main tube from Alliance Hobby. The smooth main tube does not have the lawyer approved safety warning covering the entire right side of the pistol. It does not make it shoot better but it looks a lot nicer. The red dot is an OTW RS25.

I'm still getting used to red dots. Shooting from a rest is ok but that red dot really bounces around when shooting free hand. I'll get used to it.

The paper plate target was 10 shots at 12 yards from a rest after I got sighted in. The playing card was shot off hand also at 12 yrds.



Question: Do you guys ever oil or grease the rubber seals on your 2240 other than a drop of pellgun oil on the CO2 cartridge?

Alphabet org or Pellgun oil seems just fine and nice shooting! I make it a point to screw the new co2 all the way in then back it out a little like 1/8 to 1/4 turn then blow out the first shot or 2 before doing any serious shooting since they're usually low velocity duds first couple shots.

Nice setup. No pellgun oil here. Over time it will gun up your valve. The secret sauce is much better in my opinion.

Thanks for the info guys. After I posted this thread I still had some day light left and some CO2 in the pistol. I have an old frying pan hanging on a fence 50 yrds from where I shoot at so I took some shots at it from a rest. I only held just over it and I was able to get constant hits. For me that's very good shooting with any kind of hand gun. Those pellets didn't drop off as much as I thought they would at that distance from an air pistol.

Good that you got it back together and are happy with it. They are great guns mine shoots 3/4 inch groups at 50 yards with most pellets and I expect after some tuning it will do better. So many parts so little time.

Have you check the FPS(Feet Per Seconds) yet if you have a chrony that is?

Very cool!! I'm glad to see you got your shooting again. The frying pan sounds like fun.

I don't have a chronograph but those pellets make a nice "thunk" on the frying pan I have hanging at 50 yrds. The pistol has a Boss Valve installed so the velocity should be a bit better than before.
