I'm a tinkerer, and I must admit that I have gotten "bitten" by the 2240 bug pretty bad.

Here are some pictures of what I call my "regular shooter". This is the one I take out back and plink and plink and plink. I have no idea how many shots I am getting on a fill, but it is probably at least 150. It is regulated to about 2000psi (about 140bar) and I fill it to 3600psi (250bar). I'm pushing 15.89gr pellets to about 800fps with this one.

• It is a Chinese PCP Conversion from free_outdoors
• 450cl Aluminum Bottle
• Carbon Fiber Shroud over 24" Barrel
• Hawke Vantage 4-16x50 Scope
• Sports Match Rings
• Custom Barrel Band
• Picatinny Bottle Clamp
• Moderator adapter from Alchemy Airwerks
• DonnyFL SHOGUN

Here are a couple more. The one on top:

• Still uses Powerletts
• 18" Barrel
• MIMS Sight in back and high visibility in the front
• Speed Dial Power Adjuster
• Marauder Trigger Group
• BOSS Transfer port
• Stock Valve
• Longer/lighter hammer spring

The one on the bottom is a 0.177cal that is regulated to about 1700psi (120bar) and I fill this one to about 4000psi (270bar). I'll get about 50 shots of 8.44gr pellets at about 860fps.

• This is also a Chinese PCP Conversion
• 71CC Titanium Cylinder
• Carbon Fiber Shroud over 24" Barrel
• Hawke AirMax 3-9x40 Scope
• UTG Rings
• Picatinny Cylinder/Barrel Clamp
• Moderator adapter from Alchemy Airwerks
• DonnyFL - Tanto

All the parts in to complete my fist 2240 build. I call it Brass Elegance, LOL!

I like it. I have several 2240 builds, some in .177 some in .22, I finally decided all stainless parts, bolt handle, co2 cap, trigger ect on the .177 and similar parts in brass on the .22's. That way I can tell the caliber at a glance.

That is a pretty good idea. I thought that since my 0.177 and the 0.22 were so different in size/weight/configuration that I wouldn't have that problem, but it is still too easy to grab the wrong tin of pellets. Today, I have been adding flashlight mounts to both of the guns that I showed earlier today, so I have been going back and forth between the two calipers while making sure that the POI didn't change after adding all that hardware to the end of the barrel. Well, I had the 0.177 in my hands and out of habit, I reached for the tin of 0.22. I make it a habit to cover the pellet tins that I am not using to keep dust out, etc., but this time my habit saved me because I reached down to a closed tin. My heart skipped a beat for a second when I realized what I had almost done.

Even though we think our systems are "fool proof", we still have to be careful of our habits.

Would you care to show some pics of your two rigs, jkingrph?

 

[Steelontarget]

I fixed these up for a couple of kids. So far it seems to be a hit.

Here's a couple of pics of my latest 2240 carbine build -

It's present state: Cothran tube & breech, Baker valve, 2250 14.6" barrel, Marauder pistol trigger group, 9ci bottle w/Kid Pellet drop block -

Initial build used an 18" barrel and a Michael Chavka stock -

 

[SkeeterHawk]

Nice looking rig, SteveV!

Thanks for outlining the hardware inside. Is that gun running unregulated?

 

[SteveV]

Thanks -

And I for got to mention, the reg is at 1800 psi output.

Will do some shot strings and post results.

Very sweet looking pistol, zpatrick2240, and having "2240" in your name gives you even more "street cred".

Would you mind giving us some details about your gun? I haven't seen that breech before (I don't think). Also, is that a gauge on the side of the drop-block, or is that just printed on? It looks like everything on that gun is after-market.

 

[zpatrick2240]

Thank you, sir. That breech I bought from eBay was made by a seller in Thailand. the tank block has a gauge for the output of air other side and I am running about 1600psi.

Yes, they are all after markets except pistol grip, barrel, main tube.

 

[SteveV]

Sweet build there Patrick -

Would you mind revealing where/how you acquired that drop block? GMAC maybe?

Thanks in advance -

[zpatrick2240]

Thank you, sir

I also bought that tank block from eBay same seller of the Breech.

 

[SteveV]

Thank YOU for the info!

This Crosmod 2250 is soon going under the knife to shorten the barrel, get a HPA bottle, and cutom butt stock...

 

[SkeeterHawk]

So, PG, would you mind giving us some details on the breech and the trigger group? I'm anxious to see how it turns out, but it sure is pretty so far!

Fortunately, I was one of the lucky few and received the parts I ordered, and I bought Crosmad parts off the forums. They are high quality parts. There are similar parts on ebay for the breech. I purchased a tank block from this vender and it was of similar quality to the CROSMOD parts. He sells a multishot breech. i will be ordering from him.

Here is another project that is almost complete. Both guns will have .177 CZ barrels soon.
