2250 now fitted out with steel breech and Weaver 1.5-4x20 pistol Scope.
Need some warm days to get the best performance out of CO2 capsules.
Initial sighting-in at 10, 15 and 20 yards looks promising.

I just picked up a near brand new 2250b for $200 from Tauranga H&F I forgot how fun these crosmans are, and how accurate they are even with open sights. Watch this space for a build over the next few months.

6 metres standing to compare pistols.

The lighter 2240 came to eye easily and much steadier, I did not expect to it to group tighter than the 2250 but air gunning is often about the unexpected.

nice one. not been doing much, got to the club a couple of times - once after stripping down and resealing my Feinwerkbau 300s, which is always a pleasure to shoot.

Regarding the crosmans, I am also planning a little build - I have a nice stainless breech and roller trigger, and some blue laminate grips being made in USA. Looking forward to getting it together, they are fun little pistols.
I dont have a 2240 at the moment, but have a 2250 to make a pistol like you have done. I like the longer look tube.
