Why is the breech screw in different locations between
my 2240 and my 2240XL?
Reason for the difference?
Just curious about this.
Please explain.

The original location sometimes made loading pellets somewhat difficult as the pellets would hang up on the exposed screw head.
My 2300s has the screw in front of the probe.
My 2240XL has the new location and pellet loading is SOOOO smooth.
But, of course with the new location, a new hammer design was required to allow for the screw penetration into the hammer chamber.😵💫

I have one Discovery Breech and one Custom Shop Breech. They both have the rear screw location.

Dunno when Crosman started with the 22xx tubes drilled for both breech screw locations, but all of mine do have both as well as my Don Cothran tubes.

Some of my Crosman 22XX tubes that came with both holes have the rear hole drilled but not threaded. Had to run a 4-48 tap through there to thread.
