I read lots about all these mods and such that you guys do. And they look awesome. I've found the Crosman site and they sell a "Steel Breech" But is it the long one? I would love to mount either a scope or Red Dot Sight on the gun, but It shouldn't be clumsy around the loading area of the bolt. I have pretty big fingers. I want to add a long barrel I'm thinking atleast 14" or longer if possible. If that would do anything for performance. And then I'll do some Co2 mods. I would love to turn this into a "Sniping Pistol" But I can't find barrels or upgrade part outside of the Crosman site? Where do you guys obtain your parts??? I'm puzzled. Google isn't helping much either. Thanks! _matt   Posted: Wed Mar 05, 2008 6:36 pm AirGunEric Site Admin Joined: 20 Jan 2007 Posts: 6930 Location: "Out There" All the modification parts you are talking about come from Crosman (you can order directly from their customer service department). The steel breech kit comes with a 6, maybe 7-inch steel breech (I don't recall at the moment) with a scope rail and an extended bolt. The 14" barrel comes from another Crosman gun- the 2289. Steel breech part number is 2240SBPK, 14" barrel number is 2289-001, call Crosman's main telephone number on their website and ask for "Customer Service" and they can give you pricing on things. _________________ ` I'd say "I care."

That is a bit of an issue. My biggest attraction to the thing is expandability. I don't even prefer single shot. I would love to have a repeating .22 pistol that I could add a longer barrel to plus sights/lights. I've found this Gamo pistol it's .177, but that's alright. http://www.airgunwarehouseinc.com/py-1169.html It has everything else. I just prefer not to use that specific barrel. What other pistols are good to mod with? is it possible to change a gun from .177 to .22?? I guess I really want a Tac pistol. I'm just having an issue with finding barrels to fit these guns. Rather than suppressors I would rather have a long barrel.   Posted: Thu Mar 06, 2008 3:28 pm Descentia Member Joined: 24 Feb 2008 Posts: 34 You should check out the Rohm Twinmaster Desperado: It's a CO2 powered tactical rifle that disassembles down into a very large pistol.

That is a bit of an issue. Mine sure is. Maybe not quite like a .22LR, but still pretty noisy.

The only place I can find them offered in the US is Airguns of Arizona. Also they're pretty expensive. The Rohm Twinmaster Desperado lists there for around $750 or more. _________________ "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing."
