Hi all, what are the benefits of converting a 2240 to PCP?

Power, consistency, shot count in a reasonable sized tank.
I’ve never been too keen as they are fairly cheaply made pistols… Pauly had a custom made PCP pistol for sale recently, probably for not much more than a conversion would end up costing but it’s built to hold the pressure… |

One benefit is that if you get a handpump, all your fills are free from then on, and you can get more power out of the gun.
I did try a kit, which was good and was regulated, but not a very good shot count. The conversion I did had a bigger tank, but not regulated, which wasn't much of an issue. A reg takes up room in the small tank.

Thank for your help guys, I'm guessing in NZ I'll need a firearms license?

That may change going by comments made to me recently by someone at the Firearms Safety Authority....

So, at this point in time I don't need a firearms license for a PCP handgun, just a PCP long rifle?

That is my understanding. Just to confirm that, there has been a couple of pcp pistols on trademe lately that don't require a license.

Thanks again guys,
I've another question, in regards to a 2240, does increasing the velocity and muzzle energy adversity affect the accuracy? Kris |
