A few pics of a 2260 conversion I did. I still have a couple of finishing touches to do to it.
Presently has Steel Breach, 24" Barrel, Leapers 3x9 Bug Buster Scope, the usual internal mods to trigger and the like.
The only issue I encountered with this project was with the 24" barrel. In order to keep it under 500fps I had to install a very light hammer spring. It now requires 4-6 hammer strikes to pierce the CO2 cartridge. Not a big deal but I will likely shorten the barrel a bit once I install a muzzle brake.
With the long barrel it is very easy on CO2, I lost count after about 60-70 strong shots.
I finally got it outside to shoot at distance last fall. Quite accurate out to about 20-30 yards, though I could watch my pellets starting to lob on target through the scope after about 20 yards or so.

Just need a 2260 maintube and the filler rod assembly. Or you can use your 2240 piercing knob and make a rod.

Everything else from the 2240 will work. I don't bother with 2240s anymore. I hate being restricted.

i dont even worry about the 2240/50 restrictions anymore i live 35 miles from the nearest town, my shooting range is on my back deck . its kind of dumb how the law works, first one i built i followed the rules.i was hunting 5 years ago and got pulled over by mnr and nieter of them had a clue about the 40/50 restrictions, i had a 2250 that was puttin out 800 plus fps,they only cared about my license and pal
