This 2240 I built together with my younger brother. He wanted one in .25 cal and laminated stock. Eastern block polygon barrel 24" long. Modified Exclusive breech, Remington trigger, carbon bottle and home made moderator. It's set @45+ fpe currently, .465" center to center 10 shot groups @ 40 yards. It's posted also on Air Rifle Tuning & Tweaking group.

Fantastic work. This is of if not the best modded 2240 I’ve ever seen.

one of the best modded 2240s I’ve ever seen.

Already own one. Thought I would play with mods until I'm satisfied with it. Perhaps sell it to another airgun NUT. Like me. The forum changed my word NUT to the word BUT until I capitalized it. This board tries to make you say what it is programmed to say NOT what you want. Welcome to 1984 and big brother. Soon you won't be able to say big brother! Pay attention boys and girls!¡! Be Well, B.

Congrats on the new gun!

These guns tend to shoot relatively hot once settled in, usually around 18ftlbs in .177 (at lower elevations). The Vaporizer, Ironhide and Valiant all share the same 29mm power plant, definitely keep to pellets in the 10.5gr range for best results, especially beyond 40 yards. A healthy example will send 7.9gr cphp's down range a little better than 1000fps (@ muzzle), in the right conditions you can watch them start to spiral at about 45y... Keep the barrel pivot bolt snug and you should have a decent shooter there. Enjoy!

Just realized the OP posted in March... Hope they enjoy it anyways

thanks and yeah it has settled in to be a pretty good shooter

I too own a aea big 9 knock on wood in the 3 months I have had it I had zero issues, but do agree anything can happen.

So yesterday I changed the reg settings on a stock pr900 to shoot 10gr jsb pellets and noticed there was a big waste of excess air from stock hammer spring and after tinkering with a shorter spring and spacers I noticed an externally adjustable spring would come in handy. With the parts I had at hand I could be a bit too fast or a bit too low. So today came up with this.

The thing with the stock cooking system was that sometimes because of the shorter spring during cooking the spring would fight to step on its intended seat hence why the integrated spring guide.

The system works like this.


It is externally adjustable and by using a short spring it slingshots into the valve extremely increasing efficiency. 30 shots at 17fpe or 24joule.

Initial testing suggests extreme spread of 5fps and sd of 2 over 9shots.

It has 9mm travel and can be increased by the use of spacers if needed. Only need to take stock out to change springs/spacers.

For a 200e pcp with this kind of out of the box accuracy with pellets that rival my fx crown it certainly deserved it. No barrel work has yet been made and it shoots acceptably well 10gr slugs also. Can't wait to push this to 150~200meters this weekend. Best bang for buck lightweight pcp I tried so far.

Save the money and get something well built like a serpent arms 28ga or pbba 20ga air shotgun those are the best.... Oh and USA built!

MTC Genesis LR 5X20X50; Butler Creek flip up caps, fully functional, no issues, sat on my LGV for years. $200 + shipping USPS money order only.

Any update? Were you able to reach 215? I was reading a post form a guy who’s getting 250 FPE with tungsten hammer weight and 700 mm barrel

Click to expand...

Wow. Do you know which slugs he was using? I have yet to get back out there with the heavier slugs

Let me know your thoughts after you get a chance to test it out with your new scope. 56mm is too big for my purpose, even the 52mm is on the large size. But I am very happy with the clarity so far. I might try out the 50mm size in the near future. Yes, 12x is my go to magnification as well.

I bought this used for the Maverick Sniper .22. You can see the discoloration in one of close up pictures, but it shoots fine. Here are shots at 86 yards using JSB 33.95gr at 880 fps.
It comes with everything seen in the picture.

1 0.25 barrel kit with superior liner and probe
1 0.25 fx magazine
2 0.25 CARM magazines
1 0.25 CARM single loader

Asking for $225 shipped. Paypay F&F.

Lol…I would put something very different than tile work on it but I’m pretty sick.

I have never owned an AvengeX, but I doubt 300 pellets would be fully broken in. When I get a new gun I will run around 1000 rounds down the tube before I attempt any serious tuning.

I have similar experiences... Either zero or hero....No blood trails the normal.. Big bore any caliber neck shot . Powder burner sub Sonics don't kill great either.... Nature of the beast....

Thanks much Treefrog. Be Well Brother, B.

Looking for an lg300 with the blue/blond laminate stock, just the stock would be okay as well
