Well, it seems the FedEx driver is into airguns.... he is now anyways.... lol
I met him at the gate and he said he noticed I came out of this old building and said he knew some of the history of this place from back in the day. I invited him in and he was amazed... we spent the next 20 minutes or so taking about airguns. He said he didn't know they made much more that a Daisy 880.
Nice kid, I invited him back sometime for a cold drink and some shooting.
Yes Sir, my work here is done.

You seem to be off on another tangent at the moment. I found the elusive green booger you're talking about. It's intact. I think I need to wrap some sandpaper around a dowel rod and sand out the pump tube a little bit where the hammer is.

Why would you sand it?

What is the difference between the bolt that comes with the 2240 breech kit and the Magnum Air Power bolt?
Can the stock 2240 bolt be modified to improve its function or is it better to order just the breech and the
Magnum Air Power bolt? Where is the best source to purchase the Magnum Air Power bolt?

Bob..
Have a look at the probe end of the stock 362 bolt compared to the probe end of the 2240 bolt. Also look at the orings
If they are as long and the orings are the same then you won't need the MAP bolt.

Some good pictures of your setup in stages of assembly would really help me understand what you have going on.

I just received the 362, but I don't have a 2240 bolt/breech to compare it with.

I'll try to post some pictures comparing them when I get down into the mancave this morning.
The Allen head on my small breech screw is really getting worn from so many times taking it in and out. I need to see if I have some replacement in my spares. Seems like I ordered some but I haven't seen them. I also want to have a look at the cocking pin in the hammer, it's just too wobbly for me. I have other hammers and pins and I'll chose the best of the best.
I almost hate to take it apart again... it's shooting so good right now.

Have not noticed any hammer pin slop, but they do go in and out easier that they do when first removed, wonder if they put a little loc-tite on them for assembly

Bob I've had mine apart and back together about 4 times already, I haven't noticed any slop in my cocking pin however on my old 2240's that were previously modified with very heavy hammer springs I did however that was long since resolved. The steel breech that I used on mine is one that I bought a long time ago, it works well after addressing the bolt/probe by removing the original riveted in handle, drilling and tapping the bolt to 8-32 threads and screwing in a 2240 handle to it during reassembly. I haven't been doing anything out doors since the heavy snow storm hit here Wednesday but today's the day I need to start digging out. All my shooting with it has been at 30ft in my attic, it's cold up there too but not near as cold as it is outside.

I wish I could do that, Bill. I lack both a cell phone and a photobucket account. I suppose I could look around the web for suitable pics and/or vids that describe whats wrong.

I haven't done it yet on my 362's, but in the past I have used the shaft of a numbered drill bit cut to length to replace the hammer pin. I can't remember the size/number. Fits and works better than the stock pin.

I think I'll check the size and order a stick of drill rod from mcmaster. I need to order a few more things from them anyway.

The question is... how much more do you want to invest in your 362?
Read the description.. specifically the red.

At least 52 owners (of 1377, 1322, 2289) plus sales on his own website, spent well over half the price of their guns in searching for the benefits of a tight cocking pin, adjustable striker, possibility of rear located 4-48 breech screw, and a bit less air cushion on firing.

It is quite a fine piece. I would have more heavily grooved the sides or slabbed the entire sides (easier with my equipment).

I've got a little over $300 into 362 #2 right now, and I'm probably not done yet.

2K1TJ · « **Reply #294 on:** February 05, 2022, 11:30:21 PM »

That's nice, but pricey!!

That is a very nice hammer and the price isn't that bad... will it fit the 362 correctly though? I don't see the taper towards the front where typically the sear catches it... this one is straight across the length.

I think you hit the real question on the head though... "how much more".

These lego guns are all like this though. We get them, hold them in our hands, go through the "oohing and awing"... then we rip them apart and change just about everything making them better, many $$$ spent, lol.

That hammer pin is the same in all my 13xx's... sloppy. I saw where someone posted in one of these threads and drilled / tapped the hammer for a screw in pin. Making one from a correct size drill bit would be an option too but how would you keep it from coming out without the flange? You could wrap the original with Teflon but it probably wouldn't last long, or make a brass sleeve spacer but that small of one would be very hard to do.

I have a spare 13xx hammer that I put flats on the sides. I going to use it but looking at options to get rid of the slop before I do.

Bob here's a stock 2240 bolt/probe compared to a C362 bolt/probe.

avator · « **Reply #297 on:** February 06, 2022, 07:34:16 AM »

Guys... I only linked that MAP hammer as an example of the threaded pin.

avator · « **Reply #298 on:** February 06, 2022, 07:44:36 AM »

Here are the 2 different hammer pins I have. I tried the thicker one but without making the counterbore on the hammer deeper it won't slide in the tube under the pin slot.
That said, I'm not sure if drilling the counterbore deeper would let the bottom of the pin interfere with the spring. I think tapping the hole and make a new pin would be the best option. You won't need a shoulder on the pin if you use thread locker.

BTW... I think the thicker pin is from a 2240 hammer.

Wayne, thanks, much appreciated. I assume that the left one is the 362, is that correct?

Thank you to our advertisers!
