hey guys, have any of you modded your air rifles? i did a quick search and didn't find much, so i figured i'd make a post out of it.
list anything you'd like to share, from a paint job, to a hand-made stock, to a description of modded internals for performance. of course, please keep anything illegal to yourself.
i'll start with my crosman 2240. i posted on it a while ago, but i've since had several people pm me questions about it.
basically, i made the stock by hand, i bought a 2260 barrel to replace the original, i rebuilt the back end of the rifle to accept an additional spring (which i can use to tweak velocity), and i drilled and tapped 1/8" tapered pipe threads into the front of the valve to accept a grease gun hose (rated at 5000psi). the rifle now accepts any standard CO2 tank used for paintball, and i use a 12 oz tank that lasts about a month before i need to refill it (for only $3.25).
has anyone here experimented with making parts on a lathe? i've seen some excellent muzzlebrakes on other sites.
