bigmac 97kt 13,796 Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 Little hunter got a rat catcher given to him off his other grandad that has been in the loft for about 9 or 10 years its as ruff as feck barrel all pitted and air chamber all pitted the little rifle come pistol is all cover,d in rust so i stripped it all and set about cleaning it up but before i did i had a few shots of it the back site was slack and the front site was held on with tape so i put a few cans out to about 18 yards and set away knocking them off was well impressed with it . What a cracking rifle come pistol they are but it dose need a set of scopes and a silencer as its loud feck me you would think it was a 303 lol. So i stripped it all down and masked it all off and im going to prime it up tomorrow as iv not got lights in my man cave lol. Im going to do the same as one of the lads off here did to his hw100 as i liked it a lot but iv got to show little hunter first as its his rifle slash pistol ill put up the photos of it finished but here are some now of the start of the start of it some of the photos are not the best mind still need to get a new camera atvbmac :thumbs: Quote Link to post

Coypu Hunter 486 Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 I bought some scope bases that fit over the barrel of my 2240. Fit them, then you can ditch the front sight and mount a cheap red-dot like a Hawke Sport. Then you can fit a placcy silencer adapter, and now all you can hear from mine is the hammer. Magpies and rats don't like the finished article, for some reason... Adapter here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ratcatcher-%C2%BD-UNF-Silencer-Adaptor/dp/B00BFB0QMK/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1442908941&sr=8-1-fkmr0&keywords=crosman+2240+silencer+adapter Finished article looks like this. 3 Quote Link to post

Thanks lads for your comments . Ill look into getting an adapter as i would really like a twink on it and i was thinking along the lines of one of them scopes he is just a spoil,t kid but i love the little bugger lol the rat looks like a different gun now as she was ruff reel ruff but im happy with it just hope he is lol atvbmac :thumbs: Quote Link to post

bigmac 97kt 13,796 Posted September 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 Cheers CC ill look into them also .
