What do you use for holsters Bill? I would like to find a decent leather holster that fits well
Quote from: avator on May 06, 2023, 11:39:38 AMThat is nice but it kinda takes away from the 'stubby' factor. These stubbies are a huge waste of C02. If I were going to add length I would extend the barrel and regain some of that waste.There's plenty of room to slide that brake further back. I think he's showing a carbine in the photo. A big reason I want a power adjuster is to use less CO2 with the stubby barrel, but that might take another three weeks to get here.

Ugh, just got notified the seller refunded my money instead of shipping the 2240, so thats that. I'm gonna look in my scrap pile and see what I can find..... I know I have a tube and breech possibly.....have a barrel as well. Yup just need to look a bit and probably have most of one anyway.
Could you measure the sight height from the bore center (roughly)? This evening I learned a significant downside to CO2 guns, they really attract the mosquitoes. It never occurred to me until it started happening, but most biting insects are attracted to CO2...

You do know that I'm using a completely different front and rear sight setup, right? I'm using the Disco front and the Ruger 10/22 rear peep.
Bill, could you post a pic of how the ruger sight is secured by the drill bit? I still can't seem to wrap my head around exactly what your talking about? I did find most of the components earlier, breech, barrel, disco front sight, smooth 2300 tube, a prod trigger, bolt, front plug, barrel band and an old valve. Need a few o rings, rebuild kit or a new valve, hammer , rva , spring and a rear sight. I have a baker aluminum so I may try that and a factory rear for now until I can get that ruger sight figured out lol.

You can see the drill bit shank in the dove tail just in front of the peep base. Basically you hook the rear of the dovetail on the peep into the groove the find the right size drill bit to fit tight in the front. I can't remember the exact size bit but a little test fitting will get you the right one.I could just leave it as tight but I didn't want it to move if bumped so, after getting the windage adjusted, I put a drop of super glue on it.I hope this helps.. if not I'll get better pics tomorrow.

Once I finalize what optic's going to ride on it I will break out the Kydex :-)You might peak at some youtube videos, if you can disassemble an AG you can probably handle a DIY Kydex...best of luck and enjoy your 2240!
