Crosman .22 Cal Steel Breech Kit & LPA Rear Sight

Quality and makes airgun feel more solid.

I don't know if my issue with the LPA rear sight is a fluke or the norm ( I paid PA for the steel breech & LPA rear sight upgrade - $95), but my Drifter is shooting low/I cant raise the rear sight high enough to correct point-of-impact.

If you are buying the steel breech, the LPA rear sight may not work - I paid good money for a sight that does not work on the out-of-the-box set-up, forcing me to spend more time and money to be able to get POI to match POA.

The steel breach is nice.

The LPA rear sight is for pistols!!!!! If you plan on putting this on a rifle, like the 3622 or other rifle don't. The sight gap is too large across because your eye is a lot closer to the sight with a rifle than with a pistol. Pretty much I rated this combination so low because of the sight. Although I should have known the photos show the sight on a pistol.

The sight is a pistol sight you will be disappointed if you put this on a rifle. The gap for seeing the post it too wide.

The sales staff were very helpful when I purchased the Crosman 2240 with steel breech upgrade/LPA rear sight and accessories. The sales representative provided good guidance on what to buy, including discount prices for pellets and CO2 cylinder.

Pyramyd Air packing/shipping employees require much better training. The package arrived with no external damage but the inside was a mess. There was little packing material inside. The Crosman 2240 pistol bolt handle had punctured its manufacturer's box. The steel breech upgrade bolt, a steel part, was bent rendering it useless. Simply due to careless packing. Pyramyd would benefit from the Crosman response: not requiring return of the complete package (that is unnecessarily costly and time consuming for both Pyramyd and me, rather replacing the damaged parts which I would have returned.

Upon calling Pyramyd Air to inform them of the damage and to request a replacement part, the customer support staff said they will not replace any parts but to return the entire package. Instead, I called Crosman, who, free of charge, sent a replacement bolt, bolt handle and breech screw. Above and beyond what was necessary - even when I offered to pay for the non-damaged parts! THANK YOU Crosman.

I will most likely continue to purchase from Pyramyd Air, and, for now, will consider this a one-off issue.

The ability to mount scopes and such to the gun. Installation was pretty straightforward.

I have pellet feeding issues with this steel breech kit for some reason. The pellet head gets stuck going in when pushed with the "pin". I have to guide the head in the hole first before it can be pushed and locked. The cocking lever also doesn't fit in the groove when completely screwed in tight. The vertical groove seems to be too narrow for the cocking lever width. What i did was i loctite'd it at a looser position just so it can be locked into the groove. I didn't have these issues on the steel breech kit on my 1377.

Despite the said issues, getting the steel breech kit upgrade is still a necessity if you want to shoot farther accurately.

This makes the Crosman 1322 feel like a real firearm.

Make this part standard on the 1322.

Super easy job to do. All one needs is attention to detail, a screw driver and the supplied tools. I like this mod so much I bought two.

Thank you Pyramyd! My exchange/replacement for the Crosman LPA was more than I anticipated. The dilemma that I now have will be a pleasure to address.

Not sure, not much. I've been a customer since 2007

Pyramyd has a very good return/exchange policy. Occasionally shipping maybe slow and somewhat costly, but it balances out.

Went together easily and gives the pistol a more solid feel.

None

Be sure to flatten the rear sight to allow access to the Allen screws to tighten the sight.

Steel! Quality of the site.

Clearer installation instructions - it was simple to figure out, but directions could be easier. Also - and this is for Crosman - would be nice if there was a steel upgrade for the front sight included as part of the kit. The steel breech and sight are a good upgrade but you're still stuck with the plastic front. The biggest thing is the rear sight does not provide enough horizontal adjustment. It shoots high and cannot be adjusted enough to shoot to point of aim. I'm not aware of any taller front sight blades -- which should be part of any such kit -- so I'll be searching around for a solution. I like the steel and the quality of the sight is good, just seems a company like Crosman wouldn't market products with these issues. Rated 3 stars overall because I have to fab something to address the front sight issue. Otherwise, I'd rate 5 overall.

The upgrade is worth it for the aesthetics and "feel," as well as for anyone adding an optic. Not really necessary though, as the plastic components worked and I had the sights dialed-in.

Very solid construction and a good design. I like how well it supports the barrel. This is the first modification you should do on the 2240. Now I can securely install a red dot sight.

The steel breech and mim rear sight cost more than the pistol. The high cost dropped one star on value.

This kit is easy to install with common tools. It even comes with the Allen wrenches you need to complete the task. Make sure you use blue loctite on the bolt handle threads or it won't stay tight.

They did a FANTASTIC job installing the steel breech; but I feel the new sights are too high. I loved the peep sight on the .177 crosman; but these LPA sights are like 2 in high for me, at about 50 feet. Especially with the drop of the .22; I have my sights at their highest setting to hit 1-2 inches low at 5~10 pumps. Your milage may vary, and I love this Drifter, but the) LPA sights are better left to pistol shooting, and not the "carbine" Crosmans. It's a shame, the 11mm dove tail might come in handy, but you can't use the original aperture sights after the conversion.

Peep/aperture sights for the steel breech. Forcing myself to look into the Williams diopter for $80...

Great for a .22 multipurpose. Ran it with my chrony and got the 550 fps with 10 pumps. Not as far-ranged as your .177 Crosman "carbine" but brings a bigger, more stable projectile at subsonic speeds.

The steel breech conversion is nice, unless you love the stock peep sights and "carbine " shooting with the stock.

Bonus! Stock is quick detachable, unlike my .177
