I do not like adapters and resist them - as if manufacturers care - hoping to see more proper threaded barrels of other than 1/2"x20tpi.

But here it is:

Crosman part numbers (From Maximus Hunter and Euro Models):

6-2250XL-001 Adapter
GBMP-033 Dust Cover (cap to protect threads)

Non-Crosman image of product:

And now many aliexpress vendors have them.

Any vendor of moderators could choose to make versions for Crosman 7/16" barrels. Obviously the owner would have the barrel threaded.

I also prefer threaded barrels- but the crosman barrels are a little thin, and that's more work/money the OP has to go through. Hence the adapter idea. For Crosmans, I like tight fitting adapters- one's you have to heat up (or freeze the barrel) to install. It's easy to do and pretty much permanent. I think the reason 1/2-20 is the standard is because it can be used all the way up to .30 cal, and it's not at all used in the firearms industry for anything dealing with suppressors or muzzle brakes.

From the above posts, I see that to install Rocker1's moderator I would have to remove the front sight (also remove it to straighten it out).

I read 'tap it out'. How exactly is that done? Where on the front sight do I start tapping? What tools do I need?

Any step by step advise / instructions appreciated.

Sorry guys - stupid noob here in all his glory (and embarrassment).

Additional point not mentioned in the video.

Hold the barrel-breech area firmly, especially with a plastic breech.

How about these questions for purchase from CCS

1. Do I buy the $10 lifetime warranty?

2. Engraving - yes a personal choice but if I ever want to sell the pistol I assume engraving will reduce resale.

Thoughts?

Added a CSS 2400KT to the stable a few years back when they went on sale, 20% off and free shipping on the 4th of July.
Wasn't really looking for another gun but too good to pass up.
With a 17 cal 14 1/2" LW barrel cost $105 to my door.
My advise, get the 22 cal barrel.

My guns don't stay stock very long so here's a few pics of it in different dress.

Both personal choices and hard to quantify.

1. I have not - but I find the 13xx and 22xx easy to work on (except for pumper cocking arm pins). It will have the one year warranty without paying for the lifetime warranty.

2. If concerned with an owner name, perhaps use a gun name or other alternative. One of mine is "Verminator".

All moderators mentioned are going to be great. And like I said listen to these guys /\ \/. Don't discount the 3D printed ones though. They slip on with a little pressure. I don't use any set screws on mine but you can or get 1/2-20 threaded too. Take on/off and they return to zero. There's things that you can do with a 3d print that you couldn't do on a lathe is all I'm saying. They are generally one piece which can be good or bad...

All have printed moderators except the 24" overcompensated 1322 which has a Trail baffle and a 1/2-20 to 7/16 crosman adapter that is the Euro maximus adapter which I added a set screw to. Works great too!

Spoke with Crosman Customer Support - Crosman will send me a NEW 1322 when it receives my returned clunker. I decided to send it back because I like the 1322 better than the 1377. I also have 4 1377's. I bought out the remaining Walmart 1377's (3 of them at $13 each) so I have them to play and tinker with.

THE BIG NEWS ----> I ordered the 2400KT from CCS with the 14.6" barrel, the cheapest shoulder stock, cheapest front blade, no optics, no trigger shoe, but I did wimp out and get the lifetime warranty (for better or worse for $10). Total price for the gun, just under $98.00. Unfortunately, the shipping was just under $15.

Hopefully, it will arrive in 3 rather than 6 weeks. When it does - get ready for the next battery of NOOB questions.

By the way, I did PM Rocker1 regarding the moderator. He states he does not put a front sight on his moderators - not cost effective. I did ask if it will be 'mouse fart quiet' but did not get an answer to that question. So, presumably all of his moderators are 'mouse fart quiet'.

BUT, since I want to keep shooting the 2400KT with iron sights (and a moderator) - what are the options (within reason). I just want to look into the rabbit hole (maybe about neck deep) and not fall into it.

Looking to keep shooting with ireon sites because I have 2 Simmods 4X scopes both of which I was never able to zero. I guess you get what you pay for ($30 each). Same with the BSA red dot (I did have better luck with that than the Simmonds. I'll chalk it up to the fact that both my 1377 and 1322 had plastic breech and I tried using the Crosman Dovetail adapters. Maybe the steel breech on the 2400KT will solve that problem. Who knows.
So now that I will be new to the CO2 airgun arena, are there any better CO2 cartridges to buy over others. Also, where do I find the cheapest ones.

BigBird · « **Reply #191 on:** July 14, 2020, 05:29:22 PM »

For the front sight, Get a 1/2-20 to crosman (7/16) adapter (for attaching a moderator). Rocker1 has these I think. There are some out there that have a set screw hole on top that goes down to your barrel flat portion on the muzzle. Replace that with a taller set screw. Since the screw indicates on the flat which should be on the top of your barrel, it should be centered (and act as your front sight post). Its metal so it should be more stable than your 1322 for sure. Attach a moderator or Rocker1 has the knurled twist on protector (IIRC).

In my reading, it seems that the 2400KT is MUCH louder than my 1322 or 1377. Can anyone give me an idea of how much louder it is without a moderator?
I'm concerned about the noise and the neighbors.

Thanks

Gertrude · « **Reply #193 on:** July 14, 2020, 06:42:03 PM »

It IS enough louder,
that you Will certainly need a moderator,
to quell your concerns of the neighbors.

With the moderator, it will be quieter than your 1322.

avator · « **Reply #194 on:** July 14, 2020, 06:42:31 PM »

If you have close neighbors and you are concerned about noise, you will want a moderator..... all I can say.
It's not as loud as a wide open PCP.

Gertrude · « **Reply #195 on:** July 14, 2020, 11:00:48 PM »

Maybe this will give you and idea of what moderators will do on a 2400kt

Hi guys

Last question for the day.

I’m used to my 1322 & 1377 where I can either pump anywhere between 4-10 pumps depending on how hard/fast/far I want the pellet to go.

Since I just bought the 2400KT I’m wondering if there’s a way to slow down the pellet for indoor basement shooting during cold/bad weather.

Gertrude · « **Reply #197 on:** July 15, 2020, 01:10:13 AM »

Technical answer- Yes
Practical answer - No, not within your current skill-set.

On edit-
One possibility , (but not very practical,
AND, would require a full disassembly) would be to install the inner valve sleeve (part # 2300-037) from a Crosman 2300S Silhouette pistol.
This would reduce the valve plenum size, and thus reduce velocity.

BigBird · « **Reply #198 on:** July 15, 2020, 02:44:09 AM »

A couple options but smaller transfer port is probably better. Looks like you could get one from Crosman or maybe a Canadian has replaced theirs and you can get it for a few loonies? They probably cost a couple dollars from Crosman if you order anything.

the hammer spring adjuster is another possible way.

CraigH · « **Reply #199 on:** July 15, 2020, 08:53:14 AM »

You can tune (down) the 22xx guns with lighter hammer springs and/or less hammer spring preload.
