Let's see those 2240 builds!

How does one resist the urge to sink hundreds of dollars into a 2240?

I have resisted so far. Sank too much money into a 1377 some years back. It worked well, but I still had to pump it. Got a 2240xl in december, so it already had the steel breech. Did the trigger spring mod and it is shooting nice, but wasting a bit of CO2. Going to try and limit myself to just a new hammer spring. It is slippery, try not to fall in the hole...
 
Just finished this one up. Custom tube i made from a cut down fortitude tube i had used the rear section on another build. It's a bit longer than a 2400 tube.

Uses a disco valve. Prod trigger and magnum airpower poly core hammer. Made a breech riser from aluminum. Cut a 2240 barrel down to 6" and has a Prod air stripper and a couple small baffles. Decently quiet when around 10 fpe, but it barks when cranked up. 20 fpe out of a 6 inch barrel is going to be loud lol.

Zebrawood sport grips from Alchemy Airwerks. David makes some damn good parts. These grips fit the frame with zero wiggle like some others I've had. I just need to put the extended stainless probe in it and it'll be 100%.
Nice. How much psi fill it. And how many shots, thanks

You could just cut a few coils off of the existing spring. Will drop like 20fps but increases shot count.
 
A very custom 2240 rifle I built 5 years ago for my brother. Slovenian poly barrel (25 cal) 600mm long, Remington pb trigger ass'y. Exclusive action modified to 25 cal. Set to 48 fpe but have more left in if desired. My brother did the stock final shaping so it fit him very well. Ten shot group @ 40 yards, sorry it's pic heavy.
