2240 XL Stubby

[Spacebus]

So....
My mad scientist minds is at work again...
I robbed that long barrel off of the SPA Target Master long C02 .177 to upgrade my N/V scope cam critter gitter.
That leaves me with another fun gun... How about a C02 SPA stubby?
Stay Tuned....

I'm curious to see how this turns out.

Yeah, I was looking at what parts I have laying around just a little white ago. The overall length will be longer than Willie G. But it will be lighter and a repeater. The barrel will end at the end of the tube cap like the 2240 stubbies do. I did find a C02 cart stuck in the tube. Once I get that out I'll drill the cheater hole in the tube near the nose of the cart so next time I can just reach in with a pick and push it out.
Come to think of it... I should have another tube around here from when I did the CP1/CP2/PP800 conversion. That tube may already be drilled.
I'll begin another thread on that one as well.

 This could get interesting

Should be fun to tinker with if nothing else.

I've been looking for an excuse to get a chaser, maybe I'll get one in 177 for shooting JSB slugs!

Now that I have a compressor.  You mentioned a repeater.  I'm thinking PP800r stubby.  Wait I'm in the middle of three projects......down the rabbit maze I guess

The PP800r should only need 30 or so pump strokes, probably not even worth the run time on the compressor unless pumping is a challenge for you

Perfect for one of those 12/110v compact portable compressors. I have an OrcAir model I can keep right on the shooting bench and fill the gun while I'm reloading mags.

Guess I'm gonna have to build another stubby, the current 2240 shoots too good after a little barrel prep lol. Plus it fits in the holster I have with the factory barrel = fate.

Sneak peek....

I wonder why the chaser has such a long tube compared to the 2240, they both use just one 12g cart.

I bought the GX-CS1 110V and 12V plugs included.  30 pumps is definitely doable and only 70-80 pumps regulator to full for the Notos, but 500 pumps to fill the AEA30cal from a regulator adjustment was a bit much.  I can keep the 110 on the patio when shooting the Notos and as mentioned set to auto fill while refilling CARMs.  I can bring the 12V to the woods with the hand pump for SNAFU scenarios.
A 30 pump holsterable repeater is very tempting....

So she's finally finished and I punched my ticket to the "stubby club."
Say Hello to "Harley"..she has LOUD pipes :-)

Amazon sale 2240
Crossman Breech using 20% coupon that came with the AG
Mellon flow through bolt
Mellon fiber optic front sight
Mellon $10 stubby (enlarged to .167 barrel port)
Ice Maker and O-ring TP
WGS Ghost Ring with fiber optics
Even with the 30gr H&N she was blasting air out the barrel and sounding off Loud n Proud
She leaves a solid thunk when can dancing

Looks like the 23gr might be the right pellet for fpe.  All the slugs load smoother than the 14.3's the 30gr probably exceeded the length but the 27s loaded nice and I shot 20 more of those to get a shot count.  Then 5 more 25gr which I had to clear the last with a rod so 39 shots mostly slugs.
Next will be sighting in the WGS and comparing 21,23&25gr for accuracy.
I love the sight picture with the fiber front and WGS fiber ghost ring.  Feels perfect for stubby barrel range.
Hats off to Mr. Mellon as all his parts are of good quality and finish and worth the 4ish week wait.  Just pay the man and work on another project.  You won't be disappointed.

Also will have to order some Kydex cause she definitely needs a holster :-)

 Sweet, when you mentioned Harley, my thoughts went to a 2 cylinder double barrel shorty, now how does one do that

[2A Georgia]

Backroads you crack me up...cheers.

Dual trigger for starters - basically like a drilling where the breech block is the TP and the barrels seal up to the face - I'm thinking leather seals...

Harley got a new 3dPrinted Barrel Band/Front sight to match the height of the WGS Ghost RIng.  All set to group test/sight in and of course the ice maker TP is leaking again...argh

Oops forgot the image of the "alpha" prototype.  I had to enlarge the holes a little and will paint black and add the fiber optic...

 Well a year has passed I brought 2240 XL stubby and Twisted sis out to play and get some TLC . I finalized the sights and set them with some high tech superglue. might see some fume residue in the photo, I wiped them both down with Kroil after and both look as pretty as can be.
 Also added some carbon fiber bling around the barrel to stiffen it

 PS Oh yeah I have another Chaser on the way Darn Bargain Gate
