why you gotta be bringing up all that sexyness... you're such a tease!

Last summer I ordered my Crosman 2400KT carbine and received it in 3-4 weeks. I’ve heard others claim this also so I’m sure you’ll get yours sooner then expected. I too think I’ve been infected by the co2 disease and have been thinking about adding a .22 cal 2300KT with the short steel breech and 7” barrel and the LPA MIN sight for winter time basement shooting. Crosman’s custom shop is the best value to get started I think rather than starting with a basic 2240 and adding the breech and quality sight yourself. Plus you get to engrave it like you said. 

My 2400KT is my first and only CO2 gun thus far in my collection and I really like it. More than I expected too actually. I too equated CO2 guns as being somewhat inaccurate low powered BB guns and I was very wrong with that assumption once I actually looked into them closer. Some people out there are just overly critical of Crosman and their guns and tiggers but I don’t pay them much mind. Crosman guns suit me just fine but I’m not the guy that punches paper for ultra tight groups all the time either. Although I appreciate and admire the discipline of precision shooting I’m more of a fun plinker shooter myself when it comes to airguns and my 2400KT is plenty accurate for me for that. As a sporting clay fanatic I’m more adapted to fast moving targets and moving and swinging my gun and leading targets and slapping the trigger rather than taking time and making precise aim shots with fine trigger control anyway. I’m more like Rossi from American Airgunner. I’ll shot paper targets for awhile but it gets boring to me so I’d rather shot reactive targets and break stuff and see small little things go flying. Something very satisfying about center punching an aluminum can filled with water and watching it split open and water splashing out all over the place. Precision shooting to me is trying to spin a cap off a bottle at fifteen yards. Bottom line is the Crosman 22xx and 13xx guns are just plain fun to have. There something there for nearly everyone. from the more serious paper puncher tight group shooters, fun plinker types like me and for the modifiers and tuners there’s almost unlimited potential with them.

I love seeing the pictures and reading about what people do and come up with for these guns. Keep us posted.

Now you need a 13xx to round out the collection! I have a 2240 with a 1377 LW barrel, a long steal breach and a 2x7 pistol scope and some Prod grips. It's my sparrow and grasshopper gun. It's a pretty easy platform to work on, you could spend the rest of your life perfecting it, and everyone perfection is different. Oh not to much work to be done on the custom shop trigger group. Other than polishing a few points of contact and the biggest one in the trigger group is shimming either side of the trigger blade or you can find thicker aftermarket replacements. Back in the day plastic milk caps where cut down into little doughnuts to make those shims. I found some really thin stainless washers once. 45° angled valve port was the big to do for along time, oh man I'm getting carried away..... Anyways airguns are one.addiction and the 13xxx,22xxx,23/2400s is an entirely different disease

Congrats on the pistol!

The Crosman Custom Shop pistol I had made in fall of 2017. A dam accurate shooter. Zebra wood grips . I first had open Williams sights , but old eyes and a crooked looking mount ??? , I went to a scope. Much more accurate anyhow. Short steel breech , red trigger , and Lothar Walther barrel. And after market velocity in enhancement.
