Ultrastu Posted December 10, 2019 Report Share Posted December 10, 2019 Picked this up this week, new . I havent had this model and since i have a bit of a weakness for these crosmans i had to have it . I had a plink with it today just with the opens and it was shooting well at 20 yds .so i thought id release a bit of its potential and put a small pistol scope on it .2x20 . Gonna zero it tomorrow . These are pretty potent guns doing around 5 fpe with 10 pumps . This is my other one . My son was shooting this very well at the weekend .its very easy for him to get a good fit behind it ..

figgy Posted December 10, 2019 Report Share Posted December 10, 2019 Mate had one in the mid 80's, do they still have a cocking bolt you pull out the rear to half cock and full? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arron yeates Posted December 10, 2019 Report Share Posted December 10, 2019 Not the 2240 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultrastu Posted December 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2019 No .just the side bolt u see in the top pic .lift it and 1 click back cocks the hammer and sets the trigger . They are dead easy to work on and fettle .and very addictive to shoot This one will probably live in the decoy bag for pigeon dispatch and boshing a few out of a tree when they land right above the hide . Found a photo of my original one from about 5 years ago . (Which i shouldnt have sold ) and a rat catcher with a home made 2 shot system id cobbled together .

figgy Posted December 10, 2019 Report Share Posted December 10, 2019 (edited) I had a look online and found the type my mate had. You can see the ribbed round cocking bolt head. Edited December 10, 2019 by figgy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultrastu Posted December 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2019 Think they call that a phase 1 . First made in 1977 .the phase 3 the one in my first pic. Still being made today .52 years in production . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno22rf Posted December 10, 2019 Report Share Posted December 10, 2019 I had the one in the photo with the rear cocking catch - took many Rabbits with it in my teens - newer ones are made in Mexico now and have a rubbish plastic breach.

figgy Posted December 11, 2019 Report Share Posted December 11, 2019 They were good, no recoil like a Webley tempest or BSA scorpion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
