Thanks for commenting The important thing I've learned about scopes for airguns regardless of maker or price is that an A/O(adjustable objective) is needed for the best accuracy.All my scopes are made by Centerpoint with A/O and are from $60 to $100.You gota love Wal-mart. Cheers
So what your saying is... the most common mistake is people do not do any research, learning how to use the product before they even make the purchase?.. 😁 thanks for the upload brother.
Very handy info, thanks man. I bought me a 2250B today. Funny, first shot and I thought man this is quiet, sweet, but all shots after were surprisingly loud. The trigger operated peircer was unknown to me. I'll have to grab me some silicone lube asap.....I want it to function well as long as possible. Thanks again 👍✌
Why would anyone feel the need to kill birds? I have had an air rifle of one kind or another for the past 50 odd years and never had the need to kill anything, and that is living in a rural area all my life. I have heard that americans kill sparrows and starling every year in their thousands, and that is why those birds in europe are now in decline, and they are one of the most harmless parts of our wildlife. Birds are not pests, they are part of the ecosystem just the same as we are.
Thanks for commenting. Soooo, lets Clear up a few Things. The English Sparrow and European Starling are not native to the Americas, and were brought here by man in the mid to late 1800s with good intentions. Unfortunately, they have become a plague in the Americas, Killing native birds, raiding nests (killing their offspring) and driving them out. They Do Not migrate Across the ocean (therefore killing them in the U.S. does not affect European populations of these species). This is a Man made issue and it is up Man to fix it, By Eradicating Invasive species. Hope this Helps. Cheers.
I have a question I have a 2400kt why won't the steel breach off that gun fit onto a p1377 it seems that the breach screw is in a different position or further up
Thanks for commenting. The location of the breech screw has changed over time. Unfortunately this makes swapping some breeches gun to gun impossible. One of those annoying bits of modding.
Thanks for commenting. I would start carrying one of those cheap Telescoping Magnetic Grabber/Retrievers. They can be found at most auto parts stores. Hope this helps.
I'm new to the 2240, actually still waiting for it to arrive along with a 20mm picatinny rail, GUNNR 2x30 Red Dot Sight, silencer from Airgun Capital, and Custom Grips Right Hand Textured Ergo Target Grip PLA+ from EBay. I found the following recommendation in Amazon reviews and would like your opinion of it: "FREE UPGRADES: I put the safety OFF (unsafe), took handgrips off and pulled out the trigger spring. I cut ONE coil off of it and put it back in. So much lighter trigger pull! No more pull, pull, sideways wobbley pull then bang. A light pull and it fires. Then I took the top and bottom screws (and rear sight off). This makes the rear end cap of the co2 tube off. I cut 3.5 coils off the hammer spring. It doubled the amount of shots per co2 cartridge, makes the gun quieter and stops the wasteful cloud of co2 from appearing every shot."
Thanks for commenting. Cutting the trigger spring down will ease up the pull a bit. Smoothing the contact points in the trigger system will do more. Check out some of my other videos for more details. Instead of cutting the hammer spring down I would buy one that's softer and one that's harder and swap them out to test the results. Softer equals more shots, less speed. Harder equals less shots, more speed. Hope this helps....
Thanks for commenting. What mods have been done to the gun? It sounds to me like the hammer spring is not stock, and it's a heavier one that's keeping the valve open.
Great video. Thank you. One question please..... how long (in your opinion) should you leave a charged co2 powerlet in the 2240? Cheers from Bonnie Scotland.
Thanks for commenting. Under climate controlled conditions with temps 65-85 F Degrees, Indefinitely I say but more than likely it will leak Co2 over time. Worst case scenario, moisture might start a rust issue and lock the powerlet in the tube. I have never had this happen, but have read stories. Cheers
Thanks for commenting. The part Number is as follows, 2240/50/60 Powerlet seal: #g397-012. To replace the seal takes a complete Disassembly of the gun. It is a pretty straight forward processes. The only tricky bit is the Breech Screw, its easy to stripout the Head. Good luck. If I can help, let me know. Cheers....
Thanks for commenting. I'm OK with it... I cut and pasted this from the Web. "Pellgun oil is a non-detergent oil that is petroleum based with added o-ring and seal conditioners in its formula. It comes from the trusted name of Crosman which should give you some sense of the quality of the solution. Crosman Pellgun oil is for use with CO2 and pneumatic pump guns to help prevent rust and drying of seals. It is not for use with break barrel guns" Cheers.
Thanks for commenting My understanding is that sense CLP was intended for cleaning fouling in firearms as well as a protectant against rust that it will degrade the rubber and plastic parts inside airguns.I do however use CLP to wipe down the outside of my airguns.The oil I use to lube inside is from the paintball industry.
Im getting a fairly tuned rat catcher tommorow got a conversion to take the big co2 tanks and diffrent springs all sorts have been done but im going to get her apart and polish and fettle it and its getting a whole new seal kit and a 22inch walthar lothar barrel threaded to take an air stripper and a utg bug buster may go back to the standard stock aswell as the wood ones a bit wobbly and im gunna fit a pic rail to fit a verticle foregrip and im getting the one with a led tortch for rat and roosting pidgeon shooting plus with the barrel i want it will dominate at the range aswell. hes done the works to it even has a hollow bolt probe and a gmac trigger cant wait i do like it a lot first crossman ive ever had in my life aswell ♠️♠️
+Larry Eyster Thanks for commenting. It depends on what your definition of problem is for one, and there are countless other factors as well. Is the barrel stock, is the valve stock and so on. Lets say that the gun is fresh out of the box getting 425ish fps and 30ish shots per co2 cart. If you cut the spring the fps goes down but shot count goes up. If you add a longer than stock barrel (lets say going from the 7.5 to 14.6) you will gain 70ish fps. So if the spring is cut and a longer barrel is added, you can maintain stock fps but get another 15-20ish shots per cart. Me personally I do think the 2240 wastes co2 but that's me. I hope this helped Cheers
+Kevin Johnson Thanks for saying. That is the million dollar question isn't it. I am trying to tweak my 2250 in the video for more shots less fps. And so it goes, I wish you well with the addiction.. I mean addition Cheers
All lubing the co2 cartridge does is keep the seal, which is simply a rubber o ring, from drying out. The pointed tip of the valve stem touches it too, but it doesn't really require lubrication. That seal doesn't necessarily need lubricant as long as you don't allow it to get really cold and eject unused co2 carts too early.
Prepared Survivalist Thanks for commenting. It's my understanding that co2 in a pure environment is not a corrosive gas. However in the presence of moisture/water it can create carbonic acid which is corrosive to the parts in the valve . when the cart is changed a small amount of air enters the valve. air contains moisture. So the small amount of lube that makes it in the valve helps protect it from corrosion. Cheers
I just got my 2240 from crossman custom. Just want to know what else I can customize it ( power and aesthetic)with any help would be grateful. Aloha and mahalo 🤙🏽
Thanks for commenting, Howdy from Texas Your question is not as simple as it sounds, it's all up to you to know what will work for you. But a good place to start any improvements is with the trigger group. Slicking up the contact points is needed. After that skies the limit. If you have questions on specific mods you are thinking about, I will try my best to help. Cheers
@@AIRGUNSNIRVANA thanks your the first one that actually took your time and answered my question. I'll look on that trigger mod 1st since that made a lot of sense mahalo my friend 🤙🏽
@@AIRGUNSNIRVANA get some nice cocobolo grips for it a gmac trigger polish the hammer change the springs and seals and get a nice brass bolt handle a slightly longer one and an 8ball on the end oh and a metal breech the plastic ones all bleerrgh if you know what i mean oh and a williams rear sight as the air stripper /muzzle.break willnhave a pin foresight on it
Thanks for commenting. Leaving the powerlet in days, weeks, even a month or two is fine. Leaving it in for longer is not. The seal on the co2 valve is an item that does degrade over time. Lubing helps it last longer, just not forever. Hope this helps
Great video. I have a 2240 that I just love shooting. I have made several modifications to mine. I changed the trigger spring and polished the sear and the hammer. I replaced the plastic breech with a steel breech.I also i stalled a 14.5”barrel. I made a custom tube plug that has an adjuster screw for the hammer spring and it also allowed installation of a six position tactical stock. I installed a scope and also made a homemade silencing barrel shroud for it. I posted some videos on my RU-vid channel showing how to make the silencing barrel shroud for $10. I also made a night vision scope adapter and a scope cam adapter for this gun. Videos for these are also on my channel.
Great video, like the guy below I'm planning on getting a custom 2400kt soon also. I have two questions.. first, does any lubrication work for putting on the end of a c02 Carthage before putting in gun.. things like gun oil? Second and more importantly, does the steel breech have to have a 3/8 mount for scopes and such.. or is it larger? I want to put my own scope on it and save money but if the steel breech is a 3/8 I'd probably save money getting their 2x scope with mounts for it.. thanks for answering it is much appreciated!
Thanks for commenting and your welcome. It is best to use lubes that are intended for airguns. Normal gun oils have additives that are great for firearms but, can degrade the rubber seals and plastic parts in airguns. The rings for the groove in the steel breach have many names 3/8, 11mm, dovetail, as well as 22 rings. They are available in 1" and 30mm scope tube sizes so finding the right ones for your scope can be done. Happy shooting. let me know. Cheers
I uploaded on my RU-vid Channel: Eagle View HD some videos on making a silencing barrel shroud for the 2240/2400 pellet guns for less than $10. It can be made using common tools, and it can be modified to use with various lengths of barrels. It is very effective and I think it adds a very “Tactical” look to my tactical carbine.
Hi just wondering if you can help me i just bought a 2250xl when I pull back the cocking bolt then I push the bolt farward feels abit jammy I have fired a pellet through it yet is this because it's new will the bed in or should I take it back
i just purchased a 1377c immediately went to pyramid air and got a steel breech and stock coming but was unable to find a barrel any suggestions as to where i might find a 14in barrel?
Thanks for commenting... The first place I try and source stuff is from Crosman parts, They only take phone orders "800-724-7486" they are usually the cheapest and are good people. 14" barrel part# 2289-001, I hope this helps, have fun...and if i can help further let me know Cheers
Thanks for commenting. These are the parts to do the swap, I could not find the complete list of screws that are needed. 2250 Co2 tube: #2250-009 -2250 Powerlet cap : #2250-008 -2250 barrel: #2250-019 -2250 barrel band: #2250-007 -2250 forearm bracket: #2250-018 -2250 bracket screw: #130b031 -2250 forearm: #151a002 Cheers....
Nice video. I put a stock on my 2240 and bought a BSA Sweet .22 rimfire 3-9x40 to mount. I have a 13.5" barrel and other mods, will this scope give me any problems? Thank you, Joe
Thanks for commenting. If the plan was to have a light carbine. It's a bit more hefty than is needed. Which is why I now run a compact scope on mine. If you plan to target shoot or shoot from a rest that scope should do well, If I can help further let me know.. Cheers
Thanks for commenting. Yes, when a new powerlet is installed. The first shot, the gun should be pointed in a safe direction and without a pellet. Cheers
+Harold McDaniel Thanks for commenting. The gun in the background is a 2250, it comes with the fore stock. The main tube on a 2240 is to short to add this to it. Hope this helps. Cheers
Thanks for the video! I'm looking into getting a Crosman 2400kt from the custom shop but I just wanted to know a little more about the rifle, and I had some questions about it which you fully answered except one- does it come with a metal or plastic breach when it comes from the custom shop?
Is it possible to diy a filler cap for my 2240? I bought it and it didn’t have the cap on it but it had a diy filler cap in place but it won’t shoot with a new co2. Please help.
Thanks for commenting. Short of having a Lathe or other machinist tools I don't think DIY is a good way to go. I would go direct thru Crosman. part # 2250-013 is the one for the 2240 platform.

Thanks for commenting. I found mine at a paintball supply store. A search for 100% silicone paintball oil should get you want. Hope this helps.. Let me know..
Thanks for commenting. The current wisdom is a gain of 10ish fps for every extra inch. So the 14" would be 40ish fps faster. As far as optimum, that's up to your needs. Hope this helps... Cheers
most of what you said went over my head you should of explained what the different sizes of what you were showing where for ie the 22/40 n the 22/50 etc and what difference those sizes make to the actual crossman air rifle etc
Thanks for commenting The 2240 has a short main tube, 2250 has medium tube, and 2260 has the longest tube. Other than barrel length that is the biggest difference between these airguns. Hope this helps. Cheers
When I put my gas cylinder in and I shoot all the gas comes out at once, it comes out of the nozzle and the pull back part where u bit a pellet in. Is that a faulty gun? Or my fault? I tried tightening the cap as hard as I can and letting it a little lose, but nothing works.
Thanks for commenting I am going to make some assumptions, like the type of gun is a Crosman 22XX. That the gun has a heavy hammer spring or perhaps a rear velocity adjuster that makes the hammer strike the valve harder to increase FPS. I believe this is causing the valve to stick open when fire. reducing preload or using a lighter spring should fix the issue. If the gun stock, I am at loss. The gun my need service. Hope this helps. If I can help further let me know. Cheers
I had someone ask the same question, and I thought of another possibility. Check to see if the valve face seal is missing or damaged. Sorry it didn't occur to me earlier... Cheers
Thanks for commenting There are a lot of variables (climate controlled environment with good seals in the gun) maybe a few weeks between put away, and used again. indefinitely is not possible. I put a fresh powerlet after months of storage. Co2 is temp sensitive, it and can reach pressures that will overcome the seals in the gun if left in temps above 100°f for a prolonged time. Hope this helps. Cheers.....
No worries at all about doing that . With Co2 being temp sensitive, the 60 degree will effect velocity. There will be a drop of 200ish psi between 80ish down to 60 degrees. I can't say the exact drop in fps but it will be noticeable. Hope this helps...
Thanks for commenting. Dry fire as much as you like. Getting to pull the trigger without Co2 or pellet or doing damage, is one of the benefits of these type airguns.
Thanks for commenting Dry firing means that no co2 or pellet is in the gun. This allows you to cock the gun, and improve your trigger control without wasting fuel or ammo. This is not advisable to do with some other types of airguns, as major damage can result. hope this helped. Cheers
Thanks for commenting. Yes it will Fit. The only issue is one of looks. The 1322 barrel is stepped down at the muzzle, which is covered by the barrel band of the 1322. Hope this helps.
