Page 9 - Crosman .22-Cal Steel Breech Kit Reviews

works great. with a scope mounted at 50 feet can do a dime size group every time. worth the money. Thanks.

longer breech & scopeable. item is well made.

instructions

instructions are about useless. print is so small, you cant read it. luckily the conversion is pretty easy so you don't have to rely on instructions.

Metal upgrade. Better quality sights or optics can be used.

Chrome bolt.

Instruction images require a magnifying glass. A few steps could be added for ease of install.

Good product. Easy to install on the gun. It allows for installing different types of sights and scopes on my Crosman 1322 and 2289. It is sturdy and well made and adds some weight to the guns.

Crosman should offer this breech kit as standard equipment on all their guns that use it and charge accordingly for the gun. However, I understand the need to provide consumers with a good product at a reasonable price and therefore their reason for not making it standard equipment.

I haven't fired my guns through a chronograph yet, but it seems like my guns have more power since I installed the steel breech kit.

Provides a nice sturdy mount for your scope or site. There is an extra set screw for the barrel that screws in last and sets the barrel and anchors it to the receiver.

The instructions don't say much about the set screw for the barrel so look at the top of the receiver and place it in the hole provided, last..

The stock bolt and the bolt that comes with this receiver are a little short. The probe that seats the pellet in the barrel seats it a bit short and the pellet skirt is over the air port which deforms when the pellet is shot. You need to push the pellet a bit more into the breach or get an extended bolt.

Great upgrade for Crosman air guns. Stiffens barrel to receiver, and makes mounting a optical sight more efficiently.

Nothing

Great addition to the Crosman 1322c pistol. Makes for a solid scope mount. Way more solid than the Crosman 459 barrel mounts.

Instructions left a lot to be desired. Pretty cryptic. Search YouTube for a instructional video by dragon 64.

The new 5/64" breech/barrel grub screw had a hard blue plastic on the bottom threads, I'm assuming it was suppose to be thread lock. The problem was the coating was so thick and hard I could not get the screw to even begin to thread. Soaked the screw in paint stripper to remove the "blue stuff", then it threaded OK. Not sure if mine was an odd one or if this is the case with all the new grub screws.

makes the barrel more secure.

nothing.

it is easy to do this modification.

well constructed, complete

The instructions were for a CO2 gun, mine is pump-up close enough

I had a loading problem - pellets catching on the screw hole and head in the breech - with a scope - may not be an issue w/sights

Lot easier to install than I anticipated. Was acually kinda fun. Much better quality than the price would suggest.

Nothing, Crosman really has this one figured out. OK, maybe a bold handle option for us old goats with gimpy ol' fingers.... jus' sayin'.

You WANT this on your gun if you aint got one!

The kit is fairly easy to install, but you have to remove and replace the barrel seal correctly. Works great for any groove type mount scope or sight.

The instructions could be a little clearer and they could be changed to indicate that even the older knob pulling variation with the sliding bereech cover CAN be converted with this kit. Pulling back the bolt will NOT cock the gun, you still have to pull back the original cocking knob 2 clicks to cock as you had to do before. That just adds one extra step.

The kit can be used on sliding breech cover guns as explained in the "change" section. The original plastic base rear sight CAN be reshaped to fit the rear slot and used as a rear sight. Just takes some careful filing and fitting.Teeny screw is a little tricky manipulating and tightening.

The Steel Breech gives stability to a light pistol, this aids in limiting bounce when operating. The directions and illustrations actually helped in the installation. the 2240 should have this originally equipped.
