Happy Birthday America with a 20% off Crosman custom shop guns

[Rick67]

I do not like the finish of these guns. Once I am done with it, it will look marvelous.

Small details will make it stand out:



The grip frame was professionally powdercoated in satin black by one of the biggest powdercoating companies in Asia.

Not a slight trace of the infamous casting lines. In and out, it looks superb.

[Rick67]

Plan is to make this into some sort of an semi AR form, hence the adapter for it:

Oh Rick, now you’ve started something 😊
Where did you get that beautiful cocking bolt you posted a pic of higher up the thread? 
I’m a tiny bit obsessed with all things stainless. 
Also, are there stainless bolt kits available? 

I’ll wait till my Donny FL arrives in a couple of days before posting pic of the gun scoped up, but I already know it’ll pale in comparison to your beauty....for now 😆

Rob, I had that 1 made.

You can also purchase stainless parts from this gent:

https://mellonair.myfreesites.net/177-22-bolts

..or from Mr. Don Cothran. His are cnc made:

As for the AR stock adapter, it is this one:

http://www.jsairrifles.com/P-Rod-AR-Stock-Adapter_p_24.html

It has a very nice satin finish.

It is originally for the 17xx guns but Mr. Matt aka Senor SilentMatt drilled and tapped 8-32 screw holes on top and at the bottom of it. Being me, I implored him to be extra careful when doing so as it might mar the finish. He did and it turned out perfect, so thank you, Mr. Matt!

Also, this adapter does not have a backwall for the hammer spring to sit on (it is through and through) but it has a threading inside (3/8-24 thread pitch), hence I modified this (see ebay link) set screw for it to have a hammer guide:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/3-8-24-x-1-4-Grub-Screws-Allen-Socket-Set-Screw-Stainless-Steel-Qty-10/232477197808?_trksid=p2485497.m4902.l9144

You can buy a set screw like this for $0.55 at Ace but it is just black oxide but anyway it is not even visible.

One thing nice about the JSA adapter is that you will have a built in power adjuster with the modified set screw. I installed a stainless pin on mine as spring guid.

As you can see, there is a threaded (6-32) vent hole (adapter has it from the "factory") on its top section:

 

Once you have made some adjustments with the hammer-spring-guide-set-screw whatchamacallit, you can "lock" it using the top screw.

In case you don't it know, gents, the 22xx and the 17xx share the same tube dimensions:

That is the resident genius (Mr. Bob) clarifying it 

[robbo141]

Oh my poor wallet.  This 2400kt has the potential to be very nice.  A bit rough around the edges from the factory but with some investment...

Great info Rick, thanks again

[Rick67]

No problem, Rob sir!

[GreenDragon]

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.

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? 😊

Robbo

Still waiting on mine too   

[Rick67]

The 1300KTs might come in time for Christmas

[lordinvincible]

I sent a note to Crosman asking about the situation with 1300kts.  This is the reply:

Thank you for contacting Crosman.

Unfortunately I cannot give you an exact ship date, however it will be at minimum of 1 to 2 weeks more.

Best Regards,

  Hey, I have one of those coming too.  I almost forgot.

I’m sure it will be worth the wait.  I have some stuff coming from Mellon Air for it as well.  Probably show up about the same time.  G

  Good things come to those who wait

I really shouldn't complain - it's only been 3 weeks; although when you are waiting on a new toy every day feels like a month LOL!  And the CCS is up front about build times being 3-6 weeks.

Just got the email that mine has shipped..... meaning shipping label has printed.  Also got the email that MR Mellon has shipped my order......



  Happy Days !

Yours should be soon now !

[robbo141]

Well, I know it’s far from the ‘finished article’, but here’s my 2400kt.  I’m not overly keen on the finish of the gun either tbh, but plenty of time to enjoy it before I think about modding.
DonnyFL really takes the noise level down.  Happy with that.
Will zero scope this weekend and get some practice in at 20 yards.

Robbo

[Rick67]

Looks good, Rob! Is that a UTG scope?

Mr. Don Cothran said he is shipping out my ss parts this week. I will go Blue Fork trigger assy. on my CCS gun. Dunno what to choose yet; the 1911 or the AR.

[robbo141]

Yep, a UTG 3-9x40 illuminated reticle scope.  I’ve very little experience in zeroing scopes, but will do some digging. Won’t be long before I go for some nice stainless bits too.  Make sure you post pics pls Rick.  I get the feeling I’ll be wanting to tinker. 😊

Finally got my 2400 home. UPS gave me the runaround on delivery for a week. The breech had a scratch in the paint, not the end of the world. I made the mistake of ordering the pistol scope for the optic. Will be fine for another gun but not this one. No way to put it far enough forward on a carbine.lol
Anyway put a Williams peep that I already had on it and took some shots. Shoots fine in 177 with a 24" barrel. Plenty quite. Decided to try the peep off of my Daisy 853. Nice fit with good eye relief but could not adjust low enough on the target. Bottomed out was still an inch high. Could probably build up the front sight, we'll see. Took off the peep and tried old faithful, Tasco 4x32 ($8 @ walmart). It was 1/2" high and 3 /4" to the right when mounted. I like the black on black look and if the light is strong it's right on target.
I will run it over the chronograph hopefully over the weekend.

   If you have the Crosman Muzzle break you can get a brass 6-32 bolt and nut to replace the sight pin.  I just cut the head off and flattened with a file.  Works great 

[pgritty]

Unk,
I went cheap and kept the standard muzzle. I was getting a scope!lol I may be able to order the muzzle brake and your right it could be made to work, thanks.

I will, Rob sir!

My stainless parts from The Cothran Machine arrived today! They look splendid! They are in my car though because I will be travelling in a while.

I have no idea how Mr. Don makes them but it appears he utilizes "alien" technology, lol!

The power adjuster, the 2260 tube with that special C02 cap, breech, rear sight holder, etc. are masterpieces! You need to see them in person to see how amazing they really are!

Having a hard time which BlueFork trigger I am going to buy, lol!
