2400XL ordered. Need help with mod parts.

[FastDave]

Addictive!

Yes, I see that.

The bottom one is a 2250 with a 2260 wood stock cut down, roughly at the time lol project for another day. The top one is a 2260 with a shorter barrel. But basically the 2240 is a pistol....2260 is a rifle, the only difference is the length of the barrel and longer tube. The 2250 falls in between. They two longer ones simply have a spacer of sorts for the cap to fill in the extra room so it pushes the c02 into the valve.  I believe your 2400 is a 2250, just made at the custom shop. Any rate, thier are only 3 tube lengths in the crosman 22xx family, yours will be one of the three. 2240 simple threaded cap. 2250 threaded cap with a rod sticking out a couple inches. 2260 has a long rod with a big washer of sorts 3/4 of the way down to keep the rod centered

Once you start dumping money into these 'lego' guns you had better enjoy the finished product because you will never get your investment back out of them.

Oh yeah.. I know this from personal experience. Yet I still enjoy building and rebuilding them. I may never get my money back but I can assure you, I got my money's worth.

Agree - the most expensive "cheap airgun" I'll ever own.  My builds are refining now that I understand the machines and what I need from them.

"Honey, Can I buy this cute little BB pistol?"
"It's only $80"

Excuse me if I am wrong but I thought Alliance Hobby was dead. Only takes money but you get no product???

There have been some purchases by folks here on the board - there is also a thread dedicated to AH indicating they are back up and running.  I suggest doing a little digging but overall, the group is pleased that they are once again operating.

Good luck

edit - and of course, if I'm wrong someone will be along to correct me - no offense taken.

While I agree that the 2240 series can be majorly "Lego-ed", I do not agree with the approach you are taking, ordering/planning parts for Lego-ing before you have even received the gun.  In my opinion, that is modifying for the sake of modifying without knowing whether the modifications will produce a positive effect or not.  I believe one should shoot the heck out of a new gun, keeping careful track of group sizes and things that you think could be improved; in many cases, the gun may be acceptably accurate and completely usable as delivered.  If that is not the case, then one can make modifications that seem necessary to achieve the accuracy, comfort and appearance desired.

I'm a wet blanket on the Mods also. I had a 2240XL and it was fantastic bone stock. It all depends on what your use will ultimately be. They are mostly target guns from my point of view, but there are endless possibilities. Shoot it some first, lot's of time to go down the rabbit hole later on. Two things I did was a adjustable trigger spring and a power adjuster. that was it.  stayed with stock barrel. Was decent accuracy out to 20 yards.

[Frank in Fairfield]

Just like Steve.
I had a power adjuster from the 2300S so I put it in the 2240XL
New grips/forearm.
Today an adjustable trigger spring and some more washers for the sear and trigger.
TKO LDC.
Crosman Tactical red/green sight with rail.
Spare trigger shoe.
I might drill and tap for trigger over travel screw.
That’s it.

[FastDave]

Ended up putting the 10" on my standard 2240.

Put a reflex sight on the xl.
Will clean up the trigger in the xl.
Maybe a PA

So you did receive your Barrel from Alliance ?

Consider it the "fun" fee. I also have some money pits, i mean, lego guns, but i love every single one. Its like our version of playing dolls, lol. Who hasnt here woken up in the middle of the night and scribbled down some crazy idea? you wake up, tear some down, make inventory of what you have and order what you "need" and have a completely different airgun by end of the week?
