Every once in a while you see a gun that someone has modded and it takes your breath away. Here is a new creation by Grant.

Tim in NC's 2240	Sue in NC's Hex Gun
My son wanted to have a gun like dad’s “Poke a Dot” gun (my 1377), so he picked out these parts. The grips are a special youth size that Rick at http://www.airgrips.com made and the aluminum and stainless parts were all made by Art at http://www.arts-shack.com Ben is five years old, hopefully he will remember his first gun like I remember the first given to me by my father.	Here is my second custom airgun. Tim posted my first gun. The grips are Ralph Grips, the muzzle break is by Larry, and the rest of the brass pieces are made by Art. I have to say one thing that when you order the custom gun from crosman, the finish is much better. They sand the seams down and the warning message is much smaller. The bluing is also darker. What do you think of this one?

Tim in NC new Creations
It appears that Tim has a terrible addiction. What is this now? Five...six modded guns in 2 weeks?!! Tim...step back...take a deep breath...there are enough guns for all of us.
These two guns are to take care of mice and rats around our barn. They started out being dull looking guns. But I just could not leave them plain looking for long. So I started adding custom parts and over time they ended up looking like this. With all shine on the guns, even if I don’t hit the rats with a pellet, they could go blind just looking at the guns. The 2240 is for the short range near the barn shooting. And the 2250 is my rat sniper rifle. When the weather warms up I can lie out on the deck and watch the barn for movement. The 2240 has parts from Art, Larry, Rick, Roy, Airgunsmith, and Alan at ABAirgun. The 2250 has parts from all the people above as well as a long RJ breech .

Tim in NC and his wife are having a baby. Diapers, formula, rattle...bb gun?
Don't worry we know she can't use it until at least 5 years old. We just thought she should have one too since my husband, 5 year old son and I, all have a custom 2240. She'll be born tomorrow, that's why we're posting pictures today. This gun started of as collection of spare parts from the other guns we created. The parts are: Benjamin EB Grip Frame from Alan at http://www.abairgun.com Grips from Rick at http://www.airgrips.com/ Bolt from Roy at http://www.mountainaircustomairguns.com/ Breech & Trigger shoe from http://www.crosman.com/ Brake, Co2 Cap, Power Adjuster and barrel shroud from Art at http://www.arts-shack.com/

Another Beauty from Tim
You know...for being relatively new at this...he does have an eye.
The CO2 tube was made out of a sheet of brass. This is my first attempt at making my own part. The grips are from Rick, the front sight is from Larry, the CO2 cap and power adjuster is from Art. the trigger is from Sid, and the bolt is from Roy. And a CO2 tube cover made by me.

George Ewen's 2240 SS (Short and Sturdy)
I just put the grip frame in the milling machine and cut a notch into it. It could be done with a file if you have the time and energy.  As for the shorter barrel I can see no difference in accuracy,,,,,,,,,,,,,but I think that it is louder.  and the way it looks and feels

Cool! Now which size pellets do you take with for shooting.
I did not like the way a pellet loaded in my 2240's so I made me a custom side loading riser breach from brass hex stock. To tell you it works is an under statement, you can now just push the pellet into the barrel with ease, and the barrel is screwed into the breach so I can change to a .20 barrel without tearing down the rifle of changing the bolt. I made the barrel so the o ring seats on the outer edge of the barrel and it works just fine. I am making them for all 4 of my 2240's and doing two in aluminum and another is brass.
My Next Project for a side loading breach

Shawn's Urban Squirrel Gun
Obviously, The inspiration of this rifle was provided by Zombieheadhunter's "Headhunter Carbine". When he posted his work, I immediately knew that that was the direction for my first project. We are very lucky to have a U.S. based airgun manufacturer that is willing to sell parts to Joe average. The rifle started straight out of the bubble pack from AOA. I cut the tube down to match the length of RJ Machine's Long Breech. Modified the valve per Biohazardman's and Tim millers suggestions. Installed the QB adapter to accommodate a WEVO 13 cu. in., 3000psi tank. I went through several different paintball regulators and settled on one from Pure Energy. The regulator is modified to put out 1200 psi. The barrel started life as a 2260 barrel. It's final length settled in at 21". There was no real reason for this length, it just took me a few attempts to get the crown just right. The barrel is finished off with a home made Muzzle Brake. Again, it shows my lack of lathe skills. But the next one will be even better. It is very effective though. The other end has one of Gil's adjustable stocks on it. His products are very well made, and the price is right. Finally, the gun was finished in Woodland Green Dura-Coat. Using the Dura-Coat was a new experience for me as well. The finish has a few flaws, but overall I'm very happy with it. I will definetly get a better airbrush. I used one from Harbor Freight that was so so. The results are as follows: 70 shots, average velocity 774.8 FPS, using CPH's. Starting fill pressure of 3000 psi. Ending pressure of 900 psi. This rifle is gift to my brother. So I'll get to start my next gun soon, and best of all, I'll be be building on the knowledge of the first USG

Rob in NC's 2240 PCP
Shiny! Nice Lam's too
Next up…. And my BABY… is a 2240 PCP by Joe. This gun started out as an AWESOME 2240 built by Art Braden. The gun was perfect, but I am not much of a CO2 guy. Joe made a custom PCP tube, valve, and hammer for it. Bottom line is 20 shots at around 16-18fpe. More if I accept a wider velocity spread. Only thing missing now is a silver trigger shoe from Gil and the package will be PERFECT.
