I recently purchased a 2240XL and you just saved me a ton of time and money. I would agree that you are one of the better instructors on all Utube. I also have an older SSP 250 that I will be resurrecting and adding a steel breach to (when I can figure out which one to use) as well as an older 1377 pump that needs one as well. (when I can figure out which one to use) Both look like they will be headaches. Looking forwards to viewing all your work. Thank You !
Thanks for the kind words. I’ve missed working with 1377 style pumpers. I’ve been thinking of doing a build & repair series on them. Perhaps you’ll see something here soon. Be well 👍🏻
Hiya Al, Yup I did the same thing. Got the first and within hours I ordered a second one. The first is show and go. Brass on the tubes,moderator, screws, gravmag and walnut grips. The second is is for performance mods. What a fun pistol. Happy plinking!
Great to see another view 😀 similar to my own.I also purchased a second 2240xl and my first one is a close range tack driver with custom pistol grips,trigger job and I added a red dot for faster target placement.I believe other than perhaps a little more work on the trigger I'd like one of those multi fill units you see on ebay.I purchased the second to try and turn into a carbine but for some reason the steel breach dosen't come off as a aftermarket unit does so I'm having issues working on it and actually till I came across your videos I forgot about it
I'd love to see the results with lighter pellets like the Crosman 14.3g Premier Hollow points, I think this is the pellet most shooters use because they are cheap and readily available.
I agree. I'm not certain but I believe that the first 2240XL video's has the Crosman Premier data in it. I shoot those a lot and agree their probably what you'll find most people in the US shooting.
Hello de France 🇫🇷 cool vidéo l have one and I think that you can buy a power adjuster and strong hammer spring and you can put on a mod valve , it’s really fun 👍🍷
Depends on what I'm doing. On most test I always start with a fresh cylinder. If I've tested a gun and know it gets 30+ shots per C02 cartridges and I'm only shooting 5 shots for each pellet, I may fire 15 shots off a fresh cylinder then swap it, as I would feel good about staying within it's documented power curve. Good question.
The 2240 is limited in their design. I have several. I cant believe the time and money people spend on these things, and their results is not that much more then a stock one with a modded valve shooting the right pellet at the right temperature.
It’s always interesting to see enthusiasts working to increase performance. And typically small improvements come at a noticeable cost or trade-off. Otherwise the factory would have made it that way. That said, there is nothing wrong with modifying to be better suited to a particular purpose.
Hi Al I just got H&D sample pack it had five different pellets in it haven't shot them all yet but I'm starting to lean the way you do all that the heavier the pellet the better performance you get so you take it easy now have a great great rest of your weekend this is old George from Northern California

Awesome! Let us know how it goes.

Thanks for your video, I have the same Crosman 2240 XL with a Donnyfl silencer and I love it!
Right on. Thanks for letting us know.
Love your videos they are concise and technically solid. Great job
Awesome! Thank you!
i said the same

@nikonmark37814 you make a good point
Really great video, sounds like a great platform to play with .
Thanks. I think we're really going to have fun with this one.
@@AlsAirguns I’ve really been enjoying your videos about the Crossman 2240 !
That's really great to hear. Thanks for all of you comments and feedback.
Awesome intro, I really like it!
Thanks, I'm glad you like it
You can take down a sasquatch with that gun 😀👍
Great job AL ! Liked and subscribed.
Thanks and welcome
Liked and subscribed.
Awesome, thank you!
I have similar videos 📹 on the 2240XL I'm sure you all will enjoy
Wonder how it would perform with some 25 gr
I’ll have to look to see if I have data on that. Otherwise I’ll put it on the list as I plan on doing more with this pistol.
@@AlsAirguns ok cool 🙂 I just ordered some 21gr plt after seeing the performance u had with yours
If you have time please let us know how they worked for you.

Cool, thanks
Hi Al, did you use the same co2 cylinder for the three tests or did each test get a fresh one?
Depends on what I'm doing. On most test I always start with a fresh cylinder. If I've tested a gun and know it gets 30+ shots per C02 cartridges and I'm only shooting 5 shots for each pellet, I may fire 15 shots off a fresh cylinder then swap it, as I would feel good about staying within it's documented power curve.
