Title: Current supplier for smooth tube 2240
Post by: atone1 on October 26, 2021, 05:37:12 PM
Hello,
Starting my first mods on a 2240 and would to replace the stamped tube with a smooth one. I can only seem to find two sources- Alliance Hobby and Cothran Machine. I would like to buy one from Cothran (among many other things!) but email and phone messages go un-answered.  The tubes from Alliance Hobby don't have any specs- not really sure what i am getting. I seem to find the same images linking back to Alibaba (or maybe they were stolen and used there) which makes me a bit nervous. Any other sources I am missing?
Cheers
Allan

If you have machining skills order a Disco tube from Crosman and cut it to the length you need. I used that on one of my builds. If you have purchased from the  Crosman custom shop in the past you can possibly get a non stamped 2240 tube from them also

There's a listing on ebay for one right now.

Hi Allan, another option is to order part# 2300A043 directly from Crosman. Last one I got was $12.45 plus 4 bux for shipping.

It will say 2300S on the side, however. Like this:
