    2240 First Chronograph string and question for CO2 Gurus!

    Thanks Yo Don't need more power but would enjoy a few more shots. I will post when I get the lighter hammer spring. Going to be hot weather here until September. Hard to pause between shots when you are having fun. I just had a thought. Have two or three guns set up to shoot. that would pause...

    2240 HPA

    as a follow up I shot my bone stock 2240 over the Chronograph today and it was hot in the garage 90 plus degrees, string started out 470 with 14g pellets. Only got maybe 25 usable shots then the fps dropped off a cliff. Ordered a light hammer spring to see if I can get more shots. with the heat...

    2240 First Chronograph string and question for CO2 Gurus!

    I just ordered a lighter hammer spring hoping for more shots on one cart. If I get valve lock I will just have to be happy with 25 shots when the temperature is 90 plus in the garage.

    2240 First Chronograph string and question for CO2 Gurus!

    I only plan on shooting the 2240 in the garage on paper once it is broken in. I did shoot 15 shots then let the gun sit for 10 minutes before shooting again, tried to pause some between each shot. Would a power adjuster tuned to slower fps give a worthwhile shot count increase? After 28 shots...

    2240 HPA

    Thanks BioHazard I should have explained further, I don't even have the 2240 yet But I ordered the XL so already has the steel breach. I replaced a plastic breach with a steel one on my 1322. I don't want more power I am just looking at options to get away from CO2 and move to HPA without too...

    2240 HPA

    Newbie question I assume getting a Cothran tube I would pin the valve on my 2240 for running HPA and what all do I need to do to a bone stock 2240 to run HPA? Thanks

    How many FT shooters, would like worlds in the USA?

    unless I am mistaken which could be the case I think the worlds were in the USA many years ago when the host country's air gun rules were applied. And the USA shooters did well because at that time we were all shooting 20 foot pounds. Please, someone prove me incorrect. Now the Worlds rules are...
