A bad case of the airgunitis is creeping in and there's no room in the rack without shedding a couple to make room. Let me show you what I have, and then what I am looking for in trade
First off I have a Crosman 2240 that has been converted to .177 with a 10" barrel, Crosman steel breach and 1399 skeleton stock. I've had this gun in pieces for about 2 years now and got a wild hair last weekend to put it back together. The tube and barrel are clean as well as the buttstock, the grip frame however was one I used to make grips for awhile and it has some paint sanded off in a couple areas (I tried to show this in the pictures, the rear of the frame that you can't see is similar). I have installed a slightly lighter hammer spring than stock, and have polished the sear surfaces of the trigger, molyed the contact areas and also installed a lighter trigger spring...one of the better Crosman triggers I have done...I've done a few now. The valve and ports on this gun are virgin, I'll leave that work up to whoever decides they want it. Here's some pics:
Next I have a TF79T on HPA in .177. It been pretty heavily modified.
- delrin valve stem from Mountain Air, I cut a ridge into it to hold the return spring and keep it straight.
- valve has been cleared out of all but the stem and the return spring.
- Bolt has been bobbed and probed
- Transfer port replaced with ice maker tubing for improved flow
- inside of the tubes were polished up to about 1000 grit then bolt was molyed up to slide smooth
- trigger polished, molyed and adjusted
- added 1" of hardwood to each end of the stock to make it fit an adult human, then coated with bedliner.
- added custom aluminum muzzle brake with target crown from Airgun Toys
- added regulated 3000psi HPA bottle, shimmed regulator to up pressure a bit.
- ground away some un-needed weight from the hammer to help reduce bounce and improve shot count
I have the original target sights for this gun and they will go with it, but no scope or mounts.
It's a decent shooter, and really likes a diet of JSB Exacts. With the stock hammer spring it will launch them out in the high 800's, I have a lighter hammer spring in it right now for a little less noise and better shot count. On a regulated gun such as this you can shoot all of the way down to about 1000psi without any shift in POI or FPS. I have shot this gun for a count of around 80 shots before I lost count and it still was shooting the same consistant string. This gun is a modders dream and it is fun to just pump up and shoot for an hour or so with very little refilling involved. Here's some pics:
Here's what I'm looking for.... Maybe an RWS 850, or maybe even a higher end springer, not really sure, but these are the two babies I am willing to let go. Also always looking for any PCP trades. Prefer .177 guns, but .22 would be ok for the right trade. Also, would rather make a good trade, but if cash is available and you're willing to use PayPal I would probably let the 2240 go for about $80 shipped and the TF79T for $260 shipped in CONUS. Also willing to part with both for one other gun in trade. So let me know whatcha got by either PM or email danieljnelson (AT) sbcglobal (dot) net I'm on the buyers/seller board here as well as the Yellow BOI. Thanks,
