Just ordered a 2240 along with a steel breech and 14 in barrel,,would like a few more mod things like a velocity adjuster and or whatever,,is there a limit you can mod to keep it under 500 fps,,I see a lot of mods on some 2240 searches that look like it takes it over.

Adding a 14" barrel will likely put you over the 500fps limit. You'll have to clip the hammer spring, or an add an RVA to keep it out of restricted firearm territory. I'd suggest that velocity mods should be only done if you have access to a chrony (or an RPAL). Sure would increase the accuracy, though...
Just my $.002
Southern Ontario,,,hummmmmmm,,I originally come from Welland,,didn't think by just putting a 14 in barrel would up the fps that much,,want to replace the trigger and I see there's a bras rod and lighter spring that goes in place,,I guess that takes out a power adjuster but with one could maybe reduce the power,,I like the brass add ons you can make,,have to think of a scope or better still get a good rear and foresight,,don't expect to shoot or hurt any little critters,,don't go that way,,the fun is taking everything away from the ****** and put it all on you,,don't know how long it takes for packages to come from your neck of the woods to way out in BC,,maybe next Mon,,and I hate waiting for mail,,take care.

i would crony the 2240 with normal weight pellets before and after the mod . but the 14" barell would likely put you near but not over the 500 mark . as my first mod (acording to PACTOO) did not exede 500 on a 18 incher.
it all boils down to you whant to mod you need a crony
Using an RVA to dial the power down is not really sufficienct, as it can just be dialed back up again.... clipping the hammer spring is the easiest, most legal way.... and saves CO2 to boot....

I know my limits for velocity and knew from the beginning I would be cutting the power adjuster bolt back enough when tightened up to keep it at 460 or whatever fps as advertised,,I like the hex brass design he milled the power adjuster out to so it's just for looks and does nothing to increase fps,,also bought a hex brass front plug and have a friend milling me out a brass barrel band,,as for the 14 in. barrel I can cut back as much as needed a bit at a time till it gives me just under the limited 500 fps,,been told several times it's a goofy way to go but it's the look I want and still have a fine close to limit plinking pistol that's legal to use in the bush,,all I need is grips and some trigger work,,will be getting the Crosman LPA MIM rear sight and black front muzzel brake with stem on it,,can see in my minds eye what I want and the extra cost for do nothing parts isn't all that much,,dammed if I know why my questions asked make it look like I want extra power when I know there are limits I can't go over,,went in and had a very good conversation with the local RCMP explaining the project and all he said was have fun and take care,,thanks for the information on the long barrel.

It also says,,although a specific suppressor may be installed on an unregulated low power air gun,,not firearm,,what is the official name given for the device that all air gun stores sell that go on the end of the barrel and are called brakes ETC,,
Chas
Will have to see when it gets here and I put the new breech in,,I read to that it wouldn't take it over on a few sites,,maybe call the gun club and see if they have that fps measuring device and check it out.

I see you have changed your mind from the williams blade sight to the LPA MIM. I have them both and I like the williams a whole lot better. In fact the LPA probably hasn't seen action in 6 months.
Just my two pennies.

If you plan on modding this one further or to tinker with other guns you should get your own chrony, it's totally worth the price, just buy the cheapest one available, it'll be worth every penny.
