Hi guys !

I see many pictures of 2240's with power adjusters at their back.
How much is actualy gained with one of those ?
I was thinking about making one for my 2240,stock valve and 14in. barel.

That depends. If you want your gun to guzzle high amounts of CO2 that it can't handle... Mr. Green

They're a part that can be used for finetuning.

A 14" barrel vs. a stock 7.5" barrel would allow the Co2 to expand more efficiently. A rear velocity adjuster will improve overall output, how much will depend on what the specific 2240 was putting out before adding it. Typically, a rear velocity adjuster, with no other modifications to a 2240 will be just under 500fps with 14.3gr pellets and using a 14" barrel would push it somewhere in the 500-540fps range I would estimate.

Or keep the power the same and use less CO2:
