I love the Crosman 22xx series. Yuns have some really nice examples. I may rip off and idea or two.

Crosman Let's show off our Crosman pistol builds!
- Thread starter SteveV
- Start date
This was a 2240 pistol when I bought it used, but in rough shape with BAD gunsmithing. I had to refinish the badly scratched Don Cothran stainless steel tube and breech, discard the chopped-short pistol barrel, install the rifle barrel (that was just sitting in a drawer anyway), and (eventually) find the custom carbine stock on an auction site. She shoots as good as she looks; 1" groups at 50 yards with 14.3 grain JSBs at 600 FPS (adjustable).

I changed up my 1740 “Bond” pistol with a CF LDC. It’s quite a bit longer now. I should try and make some sort of HDD/SSG and power adjusted for it to maximize the shot count. I have yet to shoot it like this.

Crosman 2240 with steel breach, 14.5” barrel, homemade silencing barrel shroud, homemade hammer spring adjuster, six position stock, scope and bipod. I have uploaded on my YouTube channel Eagle View HD how to make a silencing barrel shroud for about $10

It will be tricky without a front sight. Love the wood grips on all the guns posted so far.

There is a set screw for the front and rear caps. The front set is on top. I am going to get a longer set screw and use that as the front sight. I’ll grind it to the correct height once I get one in there. PERFECT!

Here is my first Crosman pistol. I sourced the 1701P here on AGN and the Burris red dot that tops it. A nicely balanced pistol with a set of Vernon Austin's comfortable 
custom grips.
AirNGasman helped me out a great deal in putting this together as a first time air pistol setup.

I cobbled this one together this afternoon, gonna keep her iron sighted.
Crosman CS 2400 tube w/Hi-Pac, B&A brass bulk fill valve w/disco valve stem/2240 valve front end.
Crosman short breech w/.LPA sight, 12" Mellonair prepped Crosman .22 barrel -
Aftermarket stiff hammer spring. Need to chroni her, but a hoot to shoot at 20 ft. in garage - She's penetrating 1" planks!

I can shoot worth a hoot but it looks good:
That is absolutely beautiful - Corcoran stock?
Where did you source the cf shroud?
SCHWEET!

Nice HiPac 2400 Steve. I'd like to hear crony results when you get a chance. Here's mine (she also has a Mellonair prepped Crosman .22 barrel)-
And I bet that 1720 carbine is one HELL of a shooter; ain't she Shutik?

My first build ever. Started off a Maximus rifle. Cut with a hacksaw and filed square and crowned by hand with a carbide engraving bit and MadMax was born lol

Got a chance to get some chroni numbers on the 2400 hi-pac yesterday evening - she's VERY LOUD - but so were all the fireworks going off in the 'hood, so no sweat.
This first string is with the really stiff aftermarket hammer spring and approx. 2500 psi, all I had in my in my tank - Crosman 14.3 hp from the tin
803, 806, 793,792,778,767,757,743,73,714
Too much of a velocity spread, so I used a shortened Disco hammer spring and a Challenger pa screwed all the way in. No hs coil bind, GROOVY!
Filled to 2500 psi again, with these results:
731, 748, 764, 768, 772, 771, 770, 762, 756, 749
Now bear in mind, one can back off on the pa and/or lower the fill pressure for a whole different set of numbers.
Now I need to just have some fun with this iron sighted hand cannon.
Wish I had some more space. In the yard that is.
