Here’s my custom built 2240 in .22. Laser accurate and almost completely silent at this point. Just need to replace the trigger eventually and I’m all done.

Do restomods count too? I'm restoring two Crosman 760's, one a 6/68 variant one I bought at age 13. And the other, a freebie given to me, a 760-D Pumpmaster built 4/98. And a 3rd freebie inbound Wednesday, a 760 Powermaster from 1977. I also was given a free Hatsan 95 Turkish walnut stock to mod to fit my Striker 1000x .22. I must be livin' right finally?!
So, anyway, the 760 variant 1 is getting a reblued NOS 761xl rifled barrel, mac1 seal/piston upgrade kit, refinished butt stock after fitting a custom made 1892 Winchester-style butt plate I'm hand-crafting. That and other metal parts will be reblued, polished, etc. Gotta git-r-done yet though.

DameSp I have had good luck modding trigger on my 2240s with a Cothran roller trigger. They are silver so they would match your breech and shroud.
Love the grips on yours and Domars 2240s.

Ive a few custom Crosmans. They seem to multiply in my collection.
From a 40fpe .177, upto a 200 fpe .357
So much can be done with the 22xx platform, it never gets old to me.

You are all over it Erock. I see you've modded some of your 22XXs with HPA. What PSI do you have your tanks regged and what FPS are you getting with a .22 Crosman Premier in your hottest 22XX?

Well, this variant 1-160 Pellgun, built 1955-56, has been completely rebuilt and refinished. It's got the redesigned gas valve Crosman did in 1963 that Archer sells. I Now also have the X-tuned valve he sells for the QB78 that also fits the 160. Supposed to be worth another 70FPS, so it might go from 660 to 730?
New XP-tuned valve;

Union it looks like you've put alot of time and effort into your rediscovered 160. How accurate is it shooting with all of your enhancements?

Here are the 2 customs that I built back in 2012. Always liked the sidelever operation. The 2240 has a Mrod magazine added.
too.

Nice 2240's where did you get the sidelevers ? & also where did you get the Tri wing cap ? I purchased a cap like that about 7 yrs ago & don't remember where I got it , I went thru the 2240 Phase about 7 or 8 yrs ago, bought a lot of barrels & what I called Hot valves from Ron (cant remember the company , but think it was sold to Baker Airguns.. , heck you got wanting to shoot mine again , but it is too cold here in illinois ..roger

Hey Roger, I designed and built all that stuff. The 1377 is a single shot but the 2240 is a 10 shot repeater. The Tri Wing cap came from a Mr.007's. It is made from titanium. He is mostly on the Crosman Air Pistol Owners Forum (CAPOF) and probably a couple others. The construction write-ups for these guns are on that site also. You must be a member to see the photos.
I live in Ohio so it is cold here also. I have a 30 ft range in my basement for winter shooting.
Regards,
-Gary

Kev, here's a set of 3 targets I shot @ 10yds in an on-line competition. 3 targets, 3 shots each., Optima scope on the 160 fubared in the middle of the previous set. These are with Centerpoint 4x32. First target tweaked the adjusters 2-3 clicks. 2 & 3 went where I aimed them with RWS superpoint extras.
