Crosman Custom shop 2300kt is it worth the money?

Building 2 of them myself. I think it was worth it.
Would I do it again? Probably not. Just because I know my needs; and it no longer would fit what I want to do.
If you're building it for your son or daughter then it's a great starter gun

I'll sell you the one I built for $200 plus Shipping if you're interested?
I can give you a parts list with cost to build.

I can send photo's of what the gun looks like it's about 1 yr old.
Has a 10 barrel
trigger kit
2250 conversion kit
Carbine fordling stock
TK Moderator

Total I paid approx. $411 in parts.

I'll send the additional info and photos later today when I get home.

Here you go!

It's a .22. Fairly accurate but nothing compared to my Impact.
Not sure what the pellet speed is? It uses Co2's so what ever that is putting out. Never tried to measure it.

It originally started out as a 2240 pistol. I didn't like the look so I got the conversion kit and made it into a 2250. Added the folding stock, TKO, Sear spring, and the scope. other than that its all original crosman.

I got one from the custom shop and was disappointed in the power, and disappointed in the trigger.
The thing barely had enough power to knock over a soup can at 15 yards, much less put a hole in one.
I thought about overhauling it and seeing if I could make some improvements, but instead I just got a 1322 pumper and have given up on CO2 guns for good. They are just pathetic in my opinion. I robbed the breech and a few other parts off of it and threw the rest into the scrap drawer.

"fishinwrench"I got one from the custom shop and was disappointed in the power, and disappointed in the trigger.

If power was what you were looking for? Then you're definitely not going to find it in a Co2 gun. 
Co2 guns are meant for a niche. 
For small pesting and plinking to about 25 yrds they do good. No pumping and easy to load and fire. Doves Rats mice etc.. dead meat!

But yes I would agree that if you want to shoot anything over 30 yrds go with a PCP. I'll never go with a pump gun again life is too short to be pumping. IMHO!
But the price for PCP, not only the gun but refills can be expensive. But pumping get old really quick!
All depends on what you intend to use the gun for.

Very nice group! I haven't been able to take my Impact "X" out that far yet. only 25 yards.

Mine works well. I scored a 50 out of 50 today after owning it for a month (my usual score is 47). The red-dot sight it came with is a piece of junk. Got a BSA red-dot that is FAR better. The wood grips I got look great.

The good thing about a 2240/2250 is if you ever get tired of playing the co2 game and your gun has quality components, you can convert it to a bottle gun. I finally got tired of chasing power, efficiency and consistency with my 2300. I put a Ninja bottle on it. Was able to ditch power adjusters, big TP’s and springs. It shoots around 750fps for 40+ shots and drives tacks with junk Crosman 14.3’s thanks probably to the LW barrel. I do the custom shop thing with every Crosman I buy. It just makes sense if you are patient.

You should seriously consider toku’s gun.

Weird -

You know, with just a few mods, it's easy to get more power out of one of these 22XX pistols than, say , a .177 HW30. Just sayin'.

I got the 2400kt rifle with .22 14.5 Crosman barrel for Father day and love it! I tried it in the backyard and 1st shot much to my surprise when through the wood fence in the backyard! Not good! Was very surprised! So put up some plywood and depending on we're it hit it would go through but wouldn't go through the fence. I have shot it only with a red dot so far but hit what ever I put the dot on.

hi,

sorry to bump an old thread but where can i get that foldable stock? or whats it called?



cheers

It looks like a Tippman 98 stock but he may have made the adapter himself.

This is the adapter:

I prefer real AR adapters as they are more solid--more expensive though.
