Page 3 - Crosman .22-Cal Steel Breech Kit Reviews

Looks good and fits on my pistol nice.

It was pretty dinged up. I took a file to it and cleaned it up.

No.

Wish I would of know abut these a long time ago .

Great quality at a good price

Nothing

Works as well as breeches costing twice as much.

Everything from the lady I spoke to at Pyramid Air to the prompt shipment of this steel breach I find very professional. The product its self is very good and is doing just as advertised.

Installation instructions were for me, a little hard to follow. Also not as detailed as I needed to do the job. The tiny breach seal screw would do better if it was to be in the form of a Philips screw. Respectfully....

Installation of the steel breach requires you to take your time. DO NOT torque down on the tiny breach seal screw or it will strip. Also take care to line up the hole in the bottom of the barrel with the air port on the top of the breach. These are errors made by me causing unnecessary grieve that was not the fault of the product.

The breech kit came with everything necessary including the required sizes of hex keys. Fit and finish was flawless. Delivery was on time.

I don't like that the screw in the breech that takes the tiny hex key is now recessed, and the head of the pellet drops in it unless you are careful that it not. I understand this is a know issue, and I was advised I might want to drop a bit of melted candle wax in there and sculpt it so it fills the gap. I might try it.

You air gunners know that PA is the best.

Makes the gun more accurate and robust. A must for those mounting quality sights/optics.

Offer this in stainless steel.

I really like the metal breech. I really feel like the steel provides a better foundation for accuracy.

The plug on the end will not go in to the breech without some modification.

Durable, easy to install. Gives the end user the option of a scope or dot sight for GREATLY increased accuracy. Also allows a few extra pumps when needed.

Crosman, just throw away the plastic breech! The small open style sight is useless for anything over 8yds. Make this a part of the gun from the start. And make the brass bolt a part of the steel breech.

Youtube has COUNTLESS videos on installing this breech, use them. BSA's dot sight works great on my 1377 and 1322 and my Backpacker. At 15 yds I can get most pellets to shoot one hole groups.

Great quality breach kit. This is a significant improvement over the breach that comes with the gun, and the MIM sight is a good match

Some step-by-step instructions could have helped, but I was able to get the instructions from others on Youtube. Also, I wish Pyramid would sell a match sear, as the trigger pull is about 4.25 lbs on my Lyman gauge.

If you want consistency and decent quality, buy this to go with your Crosman 2240 or 2260. I bought one for my 2240, and waited to see the results before obtaining one for my 2260, which I intend to do right after I post this. There is something nice about a CO2 gun that is akin to the consistency of a single stroke airgun. I would advise new shooters of airguns to avoid the multi-pump type. Either go CO2 or single pump and you won't be sorry.

Improves accuracy. A needed upgrade over plastic breech.

Nothing

Improves accuracy of crosman 1322. Makes the gun feel more solid. Worth the extra money for the upgrade. don't waste money paying to have it installed it's very easy to install do it yourself it even comes with the proper Allen wrenches.

I am extremely satisfied! I don't normally buy after market parts but I don't like plastic parts so I ordered this breech kit just for the heck of it. When it arrived I was impressed with the materials, finish and workmanship. The kit installed fast and easily and now my new pistol feels like it will work well for a ling time. (It also looks cooler!)

I would include a small amount of thread lock for the bolt handle.

The directions included were a little hard to read because they are about 100th generation of a copy of a copy of a dot matrix pint out. I went to the "U Tube University" and found installation videos that made it more clear.

Probably the most beneficial upgrade you can make to the basic 2240. You'll need this if you want to mount better sights, including scopes and red dot sights.

Nothing.

I paid $25 to have this breech installed at Pyramid Air. Now that I've disassembled and reassembled 2240s a few times I wouldn't pay for the installation. It's really not that hard and there are a couple of good videos on the internet to guide you in the process.

This brings new life to my old pellet gun, so much better then the plastic that comes stock on it. Perfect for but thats to be expected being that it is a oem part.

Nothing

If you have the plastic breech just upgrade with the steel breech you will not be disappointed and it is easy to install.

well made

maybe if it came with a new seal, for a just in case scenario.

Take your time and be patient

It's a good thing this was available. Fairly easy to install, I can mount a scope on the gun now thanks to this little mod part and it give the gun a better look to me. I haven't put a scope on this gun (2240 Crosman) yet, but I did put a way better rear sight on that wouldn't have gone on without it.

Well, I kind of wish I could have used the original gold colored bolt that came with the original configuration instead of having to change to the flat black that came with the breech.

Yes, mind the transfer port between the barrel and the lower tube if you install this unit yourself. It's easy to lose it on the floor and to mistake installing it correctly. Also, do seat the barrel all the way into the breech or you'll put an imprint from the screw that holds the barrel via the front band that looks ugly and will cut thru the bluing.

Awesome Awesome Awesome

nothing

You'll lose the OE rear aperture sight capability, but well worth it. Huge upgrade well worth the price!

breechwas fairlyeasy to intall-watch utube video for help'

the bolt handle came with no thread on it .used a threaded bolt i had.contacted pyr. service desk.they said crosman would send me replacment-10 day later and no replacment.

make 2240 much more accurate

It provides a solid support for the barrel as well as a great platform for a scope. The price is right.

The threads on the bolt were damaged. I ended up having to purchase a die to repair them. Minor aggravation, and this is the reason for the 3 star overall rating.

Overall, this is a great upgrade for your crosman 13xx or 22xx.

This is an excellent upgrade for the classic. A must have to mount optics and it really makes this pistol.

Better instructions, but there are online videos if you search.

This supposedly adds some FPS to the Pistol, and accuracy by having a Dovetail sight rail built in.

Clearer instructions would have been useful

It has a dovetail sight rail built in. Or if you like you can buy a new set of rear sights to fit it.
