Hey Guys....

Ok who's the Wise guy who decided to put such a small flipping screw in the front of the breech..
OMG..

I can't find an allen key that will fit it..

took the 2240 wrapped in a towel to CT and HH to find an allen key..No such luck,,go figure..

Ok where do you get these small allen keys ??
Got my parts kit,,and I'm at a standstill until I get this particular tool...

Any help would be Great..

Thanks

Eric....

Go to a TV store they usually have allen keys like that.

The correct size is 0.050". I have two or three of them kicking around here. Any half decent set of imperial (ie. non-metric) allen keys should come with one.

Agreed...it's not a tough size to find.

Hey Guys...

Hmmm Ok...
I thought it was an Odd ball size...
I have a decent assortment of allen keys,,and none even came close...

I'll see if KBC tools has them..
Thanks for the size..

Just get the closest size to it you can, and just file a little bit off each side until it fits. I thought the breech kit came with allen keys, BTW. That's what it says on crosman.com...

My breech kit came with the allen key.

Hey Guys...

Yaa I'll wait til I find the right key..
I'm going to end up stripping the frigging thing I can see it now....

Someone needs to work on a front breech screw mod for the Crossman Steel Breech..
A larger screw would Really be nice...

Thanks for the help..

I use this tool from CT.....it a cell phone repair tool........

I think I paid 5-6.00 bucks for it.....it inclds a tapered torx end that will remove the screw from the breech even if its stripped......

Hey Sniper

Thanks..

I'm going to see if Jimi can find a couple of them at work or KBC...

Other than the my kit is in,,although the 16" barell was sent by mistake..
No problem,, planning on doing another,,so I'll order the barrel the next time....

so,, will be ready to begin,, very soon...

I happened to have a set of precision screwdrivers, and took it off with a 1.2mm one.

that is until i got a RJ steel breech which came with all the hex keys.

Is the front breach screw the same on all the 22xx? I aks because I just got my 2289g and I have the same tool and the torx seems to big for it. There is also the posibilty that I have a slightly different model that might just have the different size.

I think all the screws are the same on all 22XX guns.....the tool I have definitly works for me....a perfect fit....maybe there are differences between tips included .....I just thought they were all the same.... sounds like there's a difference between the tool you got and the one I got.....can't win them all......

You need an allen key, not torx.
