Yes that's a formidable collection, and it does look like a random toss on the pegboard. Anyhow, looks better than my pegboard.
Do you find the extra long distance between front and rear sights on the 2240XL helps with aiming, as in tighter groups?
Thank you.
Sadly NO the extra distance SHOULD give me extra accuracy, but the dummy suppressor, which only serves to extend my sight skews the pellets to the left and down.
I'm tempted to saw that silencer in half to see what the heck its doing. I can print my own and can even tap the screw thread just to get that extra length for the sight.
I dunno. I'm a bit disappointed and lost on this one frankly. After 20 shots, I took off the "silencer" and had better accuracy without a front sight. All of a sudden it was shooting higher and straight.
Weird.
Wish I had a more positive response.
How about the grouping? If only POI moved but still groups well... Then adjust the sights again...
Did you check if any clipping mark found around the muzzle?
Front sight distance, height will also affect the sight picture and move away your POA from original...
There's no clipping, but it's gone. Guns must shoot straight. lol. Took delivery of a PP20 (for parts only) pcp match pistol from CanadaShootingSupply, fixed it up and it shoots like a dream. Talk about grouping! Even my untrained, unskilled, total newb self grouped within 2 inches I would say at 10m. Yes that's awful by 10m standards, but for me it's cause to celebrate.
Back to the Crosman ...
I printed a short but solid barrel extension in place of that mock moderator. It has a large enough bore to not affect anything really. It just took a while to design a snug 1/2x20 thread. I still like the idea of using a cap with sight on the front end. My 1.5mm fiber optic rods are in, so that should help with the front sight reprint that's forthcoming. (Can only really work on this during weekends)
Right now the bigger issue is a gear box / gear train for the adjustable rear sight. I'll be using a pair of 1mm fiber optic rods on that one.
Still love the butt cap idea, but the fixed sight idea was admittedly awful.
