Newbie questions about the 2240
I was just looking at my newly bought Crosman 2240, and on one side it has the warning label engraved on the air chamber cylinder, and on the other side I can read a set of numbers/letters which appear to be a serial number of some sort. For my particular 2240 the numbers/letters are: 605B11734.
Anyone else have a 2240? Is it the same, or is it unique to each 2240?

I'm still very new to gun terminology... The restrictive port that you mention, is it the transfer port? If so, can't you just drill it out to increase the flow of gaz?sniper wrote:..........LOL.............. I have six 2240 spare tubes with S/N, don't know which one is from which gun but they're all good to mod 2250/24 .....lol...
The different the CAN vs US, just the restrictive port. Change that and you're good as US.
Here is an old posting I saved from another forum. Someone might find the info to be interesting... Todd

For those considering rebarreling the 2240 here is some velocity info using available factory barrels.
All readings were taken using the same, totally stock 2240 with 14.3 gr. wadcutters at 67 degrees.
7 1/2" (2240) = 416 fps,
10 1/4" (1322) = 472 fps,
14 1/2" (2250/2289) = 526 fps,
24" (2260) = 553 fps.
Total spread was 137 fps, but the biggest bang for the buck comes
with the 10 1/4" 1322 barrel (a 56 fps increase or +20 fps/inch)
and it is still a very handy pistol with this barrel. The 14 1/2" turns
it into a pistol version of the 2250. Got a feeling this will really be
popping 'em out come summertime!

Would be nice to actually confirm this by doing some tests with a stock Canadian 2240 and see how it actually performs. On the Canadian Tire website it says 460 fps, which I think is the same as the US version, no?

Do the easy way and better than drilling that little tiny restrictive port / transfer port, take it out and replace it with poly tubing from CanadianTire.Time-Bandit wrote:I'm still very new to gun terminology...

Thanks for the info! Maybe a 2240 FAQ is in order, as I'm sure there will be more 2240 newbies like me coming aboard and asking the exact same questions...sniper wrote:Do the easy way and better than drilling that little tiny restrictive port / transfer port, take it out and replace it with poly tubing from CanadianTire.Time-Bandit wrote:I'm still very new to gun terminology...

I've done too many test on 2240, trying to get the best mod with the highest shots count.Time-Bandit wrote:Would be nice to actually confirm this by doing some tests with a stock Canadian 2240 and see how it actually performs.

460 is correct (chrono) the one from Canadian Tire with RWS Hobby Pellets, 11.9 gr.
