Just ordered my 2400KT! PICS added

[BmaS]

My thoughts exactly.  I just can't do it all at once.  I'll make incremental upgrades, and as new improvements come along, the pieces removed will go into the next gun.

It WILL be PCP, eventually.

I'm already looking for a cheap SCUBA tank.  I'm open water certified, so I won't have any trouble getting the tank filled at the local dive shop. 

I just got to squeeze my honey-do list for a little extra $$$, so I can get those disco parts -- and then go disco double.

Argh! Does it ever end?  I could mod this thing forever...

But seriously, is there a more sane addiction?

Can't wait to see your shiny new baby.

Congrats Sam!  You will need to post a picture as soon as you get it!

[BmaS]

I'll do that.  Mine is gonna be plain-jane at first, all the other mods are just on the wish list for now.  However, I did pick up a used Disco recently.  Mods galore wish list for that one, too.

BTW Mike, I put that Trail NP into a Summit stock. I'll post pics in the Crosman gate.  Looks great, but definitely handles differently now.  I am so used to a thumb-hole sporter that a straight stock feels weird.

UPS delivered today!  Shot two carts through her trying to sight in an old 4x32 BSA scope. I'm in the 9 ring @ 25 yards and starting to group pretty good with CPHPs, need to try some JSBs.
Trigger pull from the factory is HEAVY! I checked the mailbox and my BOSS valve and trigger shoe had arrived today too.  So with fewer than 100 shots, the modding began.  BOSS valve installed.  Trigger spring adjusted while the stock was off.  Trigger shoe installed.  Took too long.  No more daylight. Dang it! Oh well, forecast is for good weather tomorrow.
No factory rear sights, by design.  Front sight post removed. I can hardly wait for that TKO.
Pictures will follow...

If you have a garage go make a make shift pellet trap and shoot in the garage. Plus its pretty easy to hit cans at 10 to 15 yards with no sight and only sighting down the barrel

Here she is:



And she may well be the most accurate Crosman I own:



Don't ask how many shots; I was having so much fun I lost count. Had to be 20+.

Those were 13.43gr JSBs @ 12 yds.  Why 12 yds?  I measured after I setup and shot.

Trigger shoe and BOSS valve installed, BSA 4x32 on see-thru mounts, TKO and MA long-probe bolt still en route.  Front sight post removed.

Congratulations Sam, looks like you got a good one !

[MustangMike]

Its keeper fore sure, great groups

[mtsheron70]

Those are nice!  I need to pick one up but I can never get the courage to pull the trigger < no pun intended.  I may have to now!  Congrats Sam!  BTW- Great groupings too!

[BmaS]

I've got to go bulk-fill soon -- I'm running through CO2 carts in a hurry!

Those are nice!  I need to pick one up but I can never get the courage to pull the trigger < no pun intended.  I may have to now!  Congrats Sam!  BTW- Great groupings too!

Mike if you are just punching paper, go .177 on this one, and you probably don't need the 24" barrel.  My plan is to turn this gun into a small game hunter, and while .177 may be sufficient for that purpose I wanted .22 for additional stopping power that comes with greater mass.  I wanted the longer barrel to squeeze as much power as possible out of the propellant.

Its keeper fore sure, great groups

Did I mention that this was unsupported?  No bench rest and no bag!  I love it!

Sam,

Wal Mart has the 40 count carts free shipping to store for 20 bucks.  Pick up in store.

50 cents a cart, not bad.

Is that an 18 or 24 inch bbl?

I am interested to see what your numbers are like on the B&A BOSS......

God bless,

Farmer

[BmaS]

Hey Farmer,
Thanks for the tip.  It is a 24" barrel.
I did not collect any data before I changed the valve.  I had ordered the BOSS while I was waiting on the gun to arrive.  They showed up on the same day.  I changed the valve after only 2 carts.  I will get some numbers in the next couple of days, but I don't have a point of reference for "unmodded".

[BmaS]

TKO arrived yesterday.  WHAT A DIFFERENCE!  She is super quiet now!
