The Crosman 2240 is the Co2 pistol that helped spark my interest in the earlier Co2 and pneumatic air pistols that Crosman and Benjamin created and sold from the 1940's thru the present day.
I also own a pristine & rare variant of the Crosman model 150 .22 caliber Co2 pistol that is considered to be the Grand-Daddy of today's model 2240.
Mine was made around 1955 and is branded : Hawthorne Montgomery Ward Co. "M-150".
Anyways, up until now, to mount an optic on my 2240 pistol, I have a few of Crosman's dovetail barrel mounts + various ' dovetail to picatinny/Weaver rail ' adapters that work ok, but since they are clamped to the barrel, I have to sight then in everytime I take the pistol out shooting.
I could buy a steel breach that has a dovetail groove which is an expensive upgrade, and I have done ok with the barrel mounted rail plus a picatinny riser/adapter to attach optics that only cost me $20 for the mount & adapter.
I was browsing through eBay and looking at what airgun products were available and I saw a nifty picatinny/Weaver rail that someone designed and manufacturered with a 3D printer.
I took a chance, and ordered one a couple of days ago.
This Rail cost me $30 plus $11 shipping, which is still considerably less than the steel breach upgrade.
It took a couple of weeks, but the dual rail arrived.
I am going to have fun with this Co2 pistol this summer, especially with one of my high power gun lights attached to the under rail!
