Crosman 2240/1377 Grip Modification

[DocGadget]

Doc,

I find that the sholder stock has a whole different set of issues. I have not looked at them as closely, however, in the 1389 drawings from Crosman they have three additional parts intended to locate the stock firmly. there is a small pad that fits on the bottom of the grip frame. (Keep layering tape until you get a tight fit?) and there is a spring and plunger in the upper rear of the grip frame, if you wondered why there was an extra whole. At first I put insulating foam in that gap to take up the slack until I discovered the grip frame pad and spring and plunger.

The spring and plunger is only on the 2289. I want to use my shoulder stocks for ALL my 22XX grips framed airguns. I had a very nice wood one made for me and it fits super tight and barely moves, I'll try the tape/pad at the bottom. I hadn't realised it was supposed to contact the frame and it was hangin out so I removed it Now I have to put some new one in... I'll try some padded tape, it should hold better and I shouldn't have to put a bunch of it.

Thanks for the help. You may think you don't have much to offer but with this single post you just proved yourself wrong. We can all benefit from post like this. Thanks again.

Hi Doc,

At the risk of having Poor-man Plinker getting upset at me for hijacking his thread (sorry man!), here is a simple fix I used on a few of my 22xx grip frames. I switched the stock grip screws for some brass ones to add a bit of contrast, and drilled/tapped the bottom of grip frame to 6-32 and used one of the stock (black) grip screws in the bottom of shoulder stock. No more wobbling - solid as a rock! (Don't ask me why I put it on an angle, I just did...)



Only takes a few minutes and works extremely well!

I'll try the padded tape thing as it's cheaper and easier (I am a bit lazy) but this might be the best solution since I prefer the mini-carbine length and style.

Yo Sholo. S'all good with me... One of these days I will have to buy a tap set. I would hate to keep things too simple he he he.
