Do you have any pics as I’m hitting pigeons ok with it but I mainly use it for work as I’m a pestie,but I just want to make it that little bit better

10.9? Sounds like the rat catcher not the rat buster pistol? 

You got 3 models haven’t you the 2240 rat buster pistol 

the 2250b rat catcher with stock 

and the 2250 xl which has longer barrel than the b version both are classed as rifles albeit low powered ones.

No mines a modified 2250b

How much did it cost to change everything as I don’t mind spending the money on it.And do you have any pics mine is the smaller rifle.

I'll have to get the daughter to resize the pics I can't get em on and all in I've got about 200 in the gun. I've been out this afternoon had a good so shooting then on the track on our way off the farm a woody dropped on the sileage 42 yard with rangefinder the ratty was on the top loaded it up have it 1/4" holdover nailed it through the back of head my pal couldn't believe it reckons it's a kids gun. Mine's the standard short 2250b too loads wanting a fn12 now so might be for sale soon getting 20 decent shots to a canister

Go on the Crossman owner's club forum ,tells you how to tune and tweak without spending beans.

And if you want to spend where to get all the bells n smells too ,atb.

This was my 2240 - it had the steel breech, shoulder stock, valve pinned  (2 holes and grubscrews), silencer adapter and silencer and, a hammer adjuster.

 

The adjuster (in my opinion) is shit - if you wind it up too much, the peircer thingy inside gets stuck in the Co2 bulb so, you have to dismantle it to release it.

 

They're fun little guns though - I like the way a Co2 gun spits when you pull the trigger

Have you done much to that mate as mine has the shorter barrel than that.

That’s the 2250 xl only thing I know is different is silencer and scope done by previous owner.

my pistol is standard apart from a shoulder stock

Cheers mate my barrel is between the 2 you have for length but very accurate.
