I replaced the short 2250 forend with a longer forend from a Benjamin Marauder pistol. Cut down a 24" Crosman 2260 barrel to 20" and made a carbon fiber muzzle brake. The grips were also updated to the newest style from Crosman's P1377 pistol.
Mounted a UTG hand stop. A long #8-32 screw holds the hand stop as well as anchors the front of the forend to the barrel band.
This is an AR-15 accessory designed for the KeyMod rail. The radii don't match, with a gap between the hand stop and the forend, so no modification to either part was necessary.
Turned a press fit plug from acetal to fill the unused pressure gauge hole. It actually doesn't look so bad in person. Think the diameter ended up at 1.025".
A UTG 11mm to Picatinny adapter carries the theme. I was pushing for a UTG 4-16X scope, but my wife thought it was getting a bit heavy. A Crosman labeled 3x9 with AO is lighter and should provide all the magnification a CO2 rifle really needs.
MFT stock fully shortened.
And extended.
We'll need to get some range time before taking it much further. I'm still debating whether or not to convert it to .177. I expect that might give a flatter trajectory and a bit more range for those tin cans.
Thanks for checking in.
