Hey guys, I picked up a 2240 recently ( http://www.gatewaytoairguns.org/GTA/index.php?topic=114954.0 (http://www.gatewaytoairguns.org/GTA/index.php?topic=114954.0) ) and am in the process of "spiffing it up". It's fun messing with it as is, but eventually I want to upgrade it to steel breech. In a couple of months I'll have someone heading this way that can bring me the breech. Going through my collection of EVP's of Crosman pistols, the 2300S and 2300T have different breeches: 2300-008 and 2300-009 (long and short) respectively. My preference is the long version as this is not going to be some "ultra light" build, just an upgrade of the general 2240 platform. On the other hand, in the past I've purchased the 2240 SBPK breech kit -although I don't recall where I ordered it from...
So the question is, what's the best source/value for upgrading the 2240 to a steel breech? Does anyone have a part number for the long steel breech complete with bolt assembly?

I forgot to mention that I'm putting together a list of "gotta haves" so as to place one order with Crosman to cover a host of things to fix up my small fleet of pump and CO2 Crosmans. I'm looking for the best way to order the steel breech, preferably with one part number. I don't know if the 2240 SBPK is something I can order from Crosman Customer Service Parts Department or if there's a better way to obtain the kit or if the 2300S breech is the better way to go.

FWIW: A couple of years ago I tried to buy the kit thru crosman parts. They wouldn't do it. You have to buy all the individual parts. It is $4 shipping thru parts dept, and think it is more via the retail outlet. You will have to call and get pricing to see which is going to save you money.

I think any reference to shipping for Paul is out of the question. Pereira, Risaralda is in Columbia, S.America.
But you could email Davio at Alchemy Airwerks. That's where I bought mine. He is a Member, Vendor and has a section in our Vendors gate

Thanks, Scott. Actually, shipping will be within the US of A and later said items will be carried down in someone's luggage. No controlled/prohibited items so no problem, they'll be heading this way to visit family and have space in their luggage. Gotta love special delivery! All it takes is patience 'til they travel... ???

I think the first one I picked up was the kit thru crosman but shipping made the price higher than Pyramyd Air... with shipping was about $42 ...

The above has the short bolt, Disco bolt is longer but I just use a L shaped seating tool to seat the pellet just past the port...
