Crosman 2300S…One Hand

[Frank in Fairfield]

One CO2 cartridge.
One-Hand, standing, 9.5 yards.
I normally shoot with two.
I wanted to try one hand.
7.0WC at 530fps..not full power.
Quite a few shots, huh?

Mr. Frank in Fairfield
looks like you mastered that 2300s, you want to give a fellow 74 year old a chance to try and master your 2300s, please sell it to me. I can't seem to find one in stock anywhere. I loaned my 2300s to my son and I haven't seen him or my pistol since. I have a nice 20 yard range off of my porch, I sure miss my pistol and son.
stay healthy and safe

I just replaced the valve on this one.
Only silhouette pistol I have seeing as how the IZH46M is broke.
It looks like this..

Very nice shooting. I should try that but I would probably be embarrassed by the results.

Frank you have never gotten your 46m sorted out
i went back and looked at the old posts and you were having trouble with the cocking motion completing and or closing
i have a question when you had this welding done, you would have had to jig it up, so the linkage arm had the same length
now i have no idea if that would cause a problem
i see no scribe lines on the arm for measurements
Frank did the piston head get move as these i believe are threaded at the base

I believe the welder added some material to the arm and now it is too long. I tried to compensate for the longer length by reducing the stroke of the piston (it is adjustable). But still it is too long. The piston itself is what cocks the valve so, either I have to get a new arm (it has rivets) or have the guy who welded the arm, cut a hunk out and re-weld it. What will probably happen is the grips, trigger and all spares (many o-rings) will be sold. Steve Corcoran does not make IZZY grips anymore and he commanded a price of $500.00 when he did. So a number around $350-$400.00 for everything seems right to me.

No sale, then everything goes to son #1 who has my other IZZY.

Sorry to hijack this thread.

yes, with the one end still rivetted together it was hard the make a fixture and welding it long was not good
and it has more value apart then together
i understand i wish i could help
