Page 2 - Crosman .22 Cal Steel Breech Reviews

Very well made , easy to install, brings my Crosman 2240 into a different league of Quality compared to a stock pistol. The LPA rear sight has a wonderful adjustment method and comes with the correct tool for precision sight adjustment, the old saying applies here,you pay for what you get and this upgrade is worth the money spent.

Nothing

I will be doing this upgrade on more of my pistols both 1322s and 2240s that are going to be built as open sight guns .

It's a complete kit easy to install and instructions are easy to follow. It is working well so far, added weight makes pistol feel more balanced and stable while holding sight picture

Rear sight won't adjust low enough to have a point of aim impact at 25 feet I have to aim at a 6 Oclock bull to hit the center of a 2 1/2 target

I'm going to try lowering the point of impact with a small piece of shim stock between the top of the rear dovetail on the breech and sight as it fits loosely with a visable air gap about .020 in. under it

This breech is much nicer than the OEM plastic one. The rear sight is of much higher quality and is easy to adjust. The kit cost more than the gun itself but the upgrade is worth it if you plan on keeping and enjoying this pistol.

Nothing.

This is an easy conversion. The hardest part was driving out the pump arm roll pin.

The LPA rear sight is okay the windage is hard to adjust though

The steel breach is a disappointment the bolt is so loose that turning the gun upside down and mussel up the bolt will fall open.

I don't think it's worth the money changing the breach just to improve the sights was a mistake. I have a 1322 crossman and I didn't change anything and it has the same plastic breach and sight It's more accurate than the upgraded 2240 crossman and the pellets loading is much better

It does what it claims and shoots like a different gun now. I installed it on my Crosman 2250 B with only a few minor problems. When I got the open sights adjusted, and shot one good group with Crosman Premier Domed pellets. I only shot one three shot 1 1/2" group as a pistol, at 10 meters using a standing bi-pod, before I tried putting a 4x32 Center Point scope and the shoulder stock on it. I shot 48 shots with different Crosman pellets and got a lot of groups under 2" at 20 meters using a standing bi-pod. I used Premier domed, Destroyer, Piranha, and Premier Hollow point. I got my best 5 shot group of 1" with the Piranha and shot the worse with a 5 shot group of 5" with Destroyer.

It seemed too pricey, compared to the original purchase price of the gun and stock.

You should use a cloth under the gun when you install them because there are some very small parts that are awkward to manipulate. I thought I lost one piece but it fell inside the breech and shook out. The instructions that came with the breech kit were clear and easy to follow. But the LPA sight didn't come with instructions. I asked a PA chat representative who suggested eyeballing it when I centered it on the breech, then adjust the sights when shooting. That worked pretty well, except the set screws use a very small allen wrench and inset into the sight. I had difficulty inserting and turning the allen wrench blind. And had to work on it for quite awhile before the wrench slipped in and would turn the screw.

Metal Easy to install optics and no barrel movement now

more adjustment in the rear sight

rear sight may not go as low as required you will want to install this kit on all your pistols one for open sights and one for a scope

I like that it is steel and not plastic. Also it looks more complete on the gun. I bought it because I wanted better adjustable sights on the gun and this was the only way to get it.

nothing.

It is very is easy to install. Also if you have any questions you can look it up on youtube and see how it is done .

The added weight and the fact that it's not plastic, I added the rear sight and a fourteen inch barrel.

With my set up, 1350 feet elevation, 70 degree temperature and checking it with my F1 chrony, it averaged about 530 fps. The accuracy is about the same as with the shorter factory barrel.

accurate

get rid of plastic breech

no

The relative ease of swapping out the plastic breech over to steel breech. The option to change bolts when using the steel breech. The weight increase helps match some of my other pistols. The LPA rear sight is a large improvement over the original rear sight.

Maybe I would lower the price, the steel breech and LPA sight is ten dollars more than the price I paid for the 1322. :-)

A very nice upgrade.

Durability and rails of the steel breech and the tools included with the sight

I would add a little marker on the breech and and sight so I know I have the sight lined up perfectly in the middle of the breech

I bought 4 of these breech and sight combos. on some of the bolt handles I have a hard time pulling the bolt back if the handle is screwed in all the way. which means I have to loosen the handle slightly before I can pull and cock the gun all the way.
