This’ll be only my 2nd airgun ever, having just got my 34 a few months back. Can’t wait to see how it shoots, compared to my springer.
I’ll be posting pics, though I’m still waiting patiently for shipping notification....😕

Come on Crosman!

Here she is less the front sight in preparation for a tko!

Quick question though. It's my first LW barrel, so maybe its just the way it is, but I really gotta push on the bolt to get it to close on a pellet. Are they just that much tighter than the Crosman barrels on the breech end?

That is normal. Frankly, I have never used Crosman pellets on any of my guns, just JSBs and AAs and an occasional HN. I like the Czech made pellets better though and they are softer.

I would polish the leade if I were you. Barrels from Crosman are known to have rough ones and I always give my barrels this 1st and foremost treatment aside from bore cleaning.

I was using CPHP's for the lead in, I'll grab the JSB's next time I shoot it. Got a scope which should be in my mailbox in the next few hours so that'll give me an excuse...

I did pull the barrel to clean it and the leade looked good already. I noticed the bolt O-ring was much tighter than my other AG's with Crosman barrels as well. I'm hoping I can get the bolt closed with the extended probe I have coming now...

My 2400kts with lw barrels (in .177 and .22) don't need much push to seat pellets with their bolts using CPHP. It could be the bolt o-ring on yours is a bit oversized.

I took a few more shots using 15 grain JSB's. They load a little easier but not too much.

I did try loading with the barrel pointing downwards and dropping the pellet in and it was much smoother/less force required. Maybe they're getting hung up on the transfer port?

Got mine today.

The carbon fiber simulated 2400KT carbine stock has chips around the screw holes of the grip, so the black base shows.

How about those who got this model, gents? Are yours not perfect too?

Gonna call Crosman tomorrow.

The .177 14.6" LW barrel has nice rifling

Might put this in my 1377 and order another one.

lordinvincible · « **Reply #47 on:** July 19, 2018, 12:10:32 AM »

no need to fuss over such small imperfection. After all this is a cheap $100 gun.

Right you are, Yu, lol! I am just a perfectionist, you know. When I was still in Asia, I had my CCS blued by a pro gunsmith. I plan to sell the parts on my CCS airgun because I have Don Cothran parts ordered.

My 2400kt with 14.6 LW came in and is shooting .22 CPHPs great, no issues here, impressive little carbine!

Can't wait to mount the 3-9x32 bugbuster I picked up from AMZ Prime Day on it, should make a perfect light pest gun.

robbo141 · « **Reply #50 on:** July 19, 2018, 11:57:52 AM »

My 2400kt arrived today. Double boxed, no visible damage that I can see. My first foray into CO2 power and can’t wait to test it out.
How long till I start tinkering, I wonder? 😊

I am really bothered by the aforesaid chips, lol!

Like I have said, I am too meticulous for my own good, lol!

Had my previous (in Asia) CCS parts reblued by a pro:

These guns look like jewels when they are spiffed up (e.g., powdercoated grips, blings, reblue, etc.).

Really miss the CCS guns I left behind, lol!

Rick67 · « **Reply #52 on:** July 19, 2018, 04:44:13 PM »

CCS has huge boxes like for a Barret .50 caliber, lol!

what's up with all the 1300kts? I haven't heard a peep from Crosman since ordered it on the 4th. So far all the ones I saw here are 2400kts.

Yeah, have not seen one posted yet.

Would really like to have one those unstamped 13xx tubes.

Slightly disappointed to find the medium rings I bought weren’t quite enough to get my scope to clear the barrel band on my 2400. Just had to order some high rings to arrive Sunday. And while I was in the mood, ordered a DonnyFL Tanto which has been despatched same day. Nice customer service. Cost more than the gun...

Yeah my 2400kt came in but nothing on my 1300kt yet either.

BKL mediums will even with a Hawke 4-12x50 AO.

I spoke with Crosman customer service to get the price for a long steel breech and was told that they were out of stock. This was a couple weeks before the 4th.

Mine arrived last Wednesday:
