It makes my bugout look and feel like a quality gun. also makes it easier to mount a scope or other site

A better bolt

The bolt seal leaks a little.

Mostly worked

Better quality control.

Threads on bolt knob were not right and could not be screwed in to bolt. I ended up using an actual bolt for a knob.

Makes it possible to mount optics on the pistol, feels more solid than stock polymer breech.

Pellets are awkward to load with scope mounted over top of open breech, there is less room for your fingers.

Instructions could be better. It wasn't clear from them that the rear screw needs to be replaced with the slightly shorter screw in the breech kit if you are removing the rear open sight. Otherwise the screw interferes with the hammer spring and gun won't cock. However, this breech replacement is an easy modification to make.

Good design and fit, easy installation.

Nothing comes to mind.

The thread on the bolt was apparently tight, tapered, and fairly short so some care installing it is required.

WAS EASY TO INSTALL.

NOTHING

THE PRODUCT IS GOOD BUT IT TOOK ME 3 MONTHS TO GET THIS ITEM. IF IT WEREN'T FOR RUTH, I DON'T KNOW IF I WOULD HAVE EVER GOTTEN IT.

able to attach scope to the receiver

Supply the right mounting instructions for your gun. The one that comes with it is not for the NP pistol and actually confusing. This really should come with the gun or at least available as an add on from the factory

I cut off the the rail extension to get it out of the wayn and cleanup the installation

Can mount optics Much sturdier feel to pistol

Allow same iron sights to be used

Watch the videos Careful of the breech screw, can strip easily

Nice solid receiver for my 2289 backpacker. Easy to install, good instructions.Able to mount a scope on the gun now.(was going to mount a Bushnell trophy red dot, but the rings are for a weaver mount)

1.Make it possible to remount iron sights or machine a dovetail to facilitate mounting aftermarket sights or 2.Make part of the receiver a weaver/picatiny mount.. 3.or include an 11 mm/3/8" dovetail to Weaver adapter.

Be careful not to dislodge transfer port and seal when installing.

Gives barrel a little more stability and acuracy. Glad you guys at PA carry it. Its nice to have one stop shopping on some of the more popular crosman parts.

Nothing

Best add on for your 1322 or 2240 platform.

I like Metal not plastic,I like the fact that I can scope it now, It was fairly easy to install( read the instructions), looks good and didn't harm the accuracy. Now I would like a longer barrel and a silencer to remove the fairly loud report. That is for another review. Overall I like this Steel Breech Kit.

I can't think of anything. ( When I think too much, I fall asleep)

Read the instructions and don't over tighten the fasteners.

Is a lot more sturdy and stable than the oringinal plastic receiver. And it provides mounting rails for a scope or red dot sight.

Like another review by Joe my bolt slot was not properly cut and the forward part was too tight and would not let the bolt slide forward and engage with the slot prior to firing. Rather than deal with returning it I got out the Dremel and grinder tip and 10 minutes of grinding enlarged the slot enough to allow the bolt to slide well.

Poor quality control on this batch. Check it before you install it on your gun.

The bolt / bolt slot was not properly cut - either the slot or the bolt handle was the wrong size. The bolt would not open all the way nor lock shut. Unfortunately I broke it trying to make it work (the bolt). When I called Pyramyd, I was informed that I needed to speak with Crosman - it was not Pyramyds responsibility

Better product, better customer service

Steel breech is the recommended way to mount a good scope. This was fairly easy to install and provides a solid mount.

nothing

Instructions are fine print and not that easy to follow. PA sent me link to youtube video for installation. That was a huge help. Biggest challenge was my old eyes and tiny grub screws.

The price was the best I found,Shipping was fast installation easy. It adds quite a bit of weight to my gun.

I believe that a rear sight should be included, or at least the ability to reuse the old sight

the steel breech fit tighter than factory ,& gives it a better look

I had to drill a hole for my 2289g backpacker , would like to see hole factory machined for all guns for easier installation .

I actually liked the brass bolt on the original gun. But once I got used to this one it is no different. I would recommend every person who is going to have the gun upgrade right from the start. This part should really be part of the original gun.

Add some sort of rear sight. Even if it is a fixed integral groove or something at least it gives the shooter some sort of option to get shooting other than making further purchases. When you get this in the mail and realize that you don't have a scope ring in your house you are pretty much sitting with a new toy and no way to use it.

No sight comes with this. I know they say it in the description but it is important enough to say over and over.

Easy to install using youtube vids. Good quality and adds stability.

Paper directions were unreadable. Copy of a copy of a copy etc.

It's steel, I can get rid of that bad OE sight.

Better instructions. If you don't understand the concept you'll have a hard time with the instructions. Although it only took a couple of minutes to do.

I think it helps with the overall balance of the pistol as well.

Robust solid construction, longer than original plastic breech, built in rail, creates the opportunity to run many more rear open sights, holds the barrel more steadily, actually has a barrel set screw, parts look and feel like high quality.

The plug that goes in after the bolt is not made to fit tight inside the breech. Even when the rear screw is in and torqued the plug still easily moves. I very much wish there was an option to choose between this blued finish and a polished finish, the finish on my bolt (which isn't the same blued finish that the rest of the breech is) is already wearing away after 150 shots.

My kit only came with one out of the two Allen Keys pictured.

quality, easy installation, adds the ability for scope or other types of sights. I like the way its a little heavier in the hand.

better instructions that could be read, I'd like to see one in a left handed version for right handed people.

this is one mod that is a welcomed sight, better than the plastic that comes on the gun, better scope mounting also. When screwing the bolt handle in use a little blue Loctite.
