I would show you mine but it’s a total piece of crap. I bought it brand new from the crosman custom shop. About the same time I bought my first box of co2 canisters it started leaking all of the gas out after one shot. After putting it aside for a couple of years I just sent it out to a Crosman repair shop. I got the gun back and it worked so nice that I was going to get custom grips. Then I installed the third co2 cartridge and the same thing happened all over again. It is a 2300S, I never over tighten it. I always use Pellgun oil. I don’t think it’s worth the trouble to fix it again. I guess if all your going to do is look at them, or if you are a gunsmith with thirty years experience then they are fine, but I would never waste any money on a Crosman product again. Thanks all for letting me vent.

Crazy. I've owned probably 70 guns from the same platform and have never had a leak on any of them, ever. Never had a single customer report a leak, ever. I have one sitting right next to me that's had the same cartridge in it for 8-9 months and it will shoot right now.
There's one cart to valve seal, one valve joining seal and one poppet seal. These are the only 3 seals that could leak co2. One of those is bad.
I get where you're coming from though. One bad experience can ruin a relationship with any manufacturer.
Pm me if you want to sell it.

Had forgot about this one ... 1701 tube with a shorty bottle in reverse direction using a 16" .22 cal barrel.
Uses a ninja reg and entire air tube is the plenum.

Modified Crosman Mark 1.
Original barrel shroud was poorly cast and the front sight was crooked.
Replaced the barrel with a longer one, slip fit into a new shroud.
Even though longer and made of steel, the new shroud feels lighter than the original.
Pic compares it with a stock Mark 1.

I know I posted this 2289 before, but it's more done than it was before, and needs piston cup shims and will get around to it.
Went from
10 inch .177 (previous builder converted to a LW) to a cut down 14 inch barrel to 12 inch .22
Transfer port barrel port to .157
Angle port valve and opened rear passage arround the poppet to increase flow and increase volume.
Polished the hammer.
Last pistol I built like this with a10 inch barrel did 501fps with 15.49's @12 pumps and could do 556fps with 15.49@16 pumps.
This one has 2 inches and a solid piston with felt wiper over the last build. Idea behind this build was longevity, reliability And just a nice build.

Yes, I read it before in a 392 mod forum where the moder made over 900fps. It increases the volume in the rear and the stored energy (HPA) is near the transfer port making more high pressure air more readily available leading to a faster transfer to the barrel or so the theory goes. My 1477 makes over 1000fps with that mod.
