Review: Great CO2 Gun for Tinkers and Plinkers - I had one already (over ten years old) so I already knew about it's accuracy and I wanted another CO2 pellet gun to train my daughter (6). I looked at every pellet gun on desertcart and the 2240 had all the features I wanted. I needed a single shot bolt action (new shooter safety) I needed a platform that I could modify to the purpose (10 meter training open sight). I wanted a platform that was fully supported with a range of upgrades I could implement as my little Olympic Shooter improved. Out of the box the gun needs some love. Apparently Crosman has dialed down their quality control a few notches. The barrel had no crown! Just lopped off with a rough sanding then dumped into the bluing...sad really...because what sets this gun apart is it's potential for extreme accuracy (with a properly manufactured barrel). Out of the box the trigger feels sloppy and gritty and the cocking action is stiff and gritty. This is when it helps to like tinkering...all you need to do is some amateur gunsmithing...polish and deburr...clean an lube...and the action can be dialed in to feel like a real gun, And of course there is the fun of actually shooting it...and if you are a marksman you will be very disappointed if you receive a barrel with no crown that is incapable of tight groups. The barrel on my old 2240 was vastly superior...shooting the guns side by side ti became clear my little markswoman would be receiving my older more accurate gun so she could actually learn how to group her shots. I decided to take the new 2240 and upgrade it. First improvement a 14.5: barrel from the factory with a perfect crown. That was the best money spent on the gun...even with the plastic breech the shot groupings improved. Plastic on a target pistol annoys me so I made my own grips. Then I decided to try out a steel breech. It's a big expense...costs as much as the gun itself...but it turned out to be a good decision. Shot groups are much better than with the plastic breech. The gun is so much fun to play with and modify I decided to make my own removable stock, but TBH the 1399 Backpacker is a great stock for the money. With the stock the "carbine" begged a proper scope. To take advantage of the greater range of the optics I installed a stiffer hammer spring and modified the power valve to increase flow and charge capacity. At this point I am able to shoot about 25 shots per cartridge out to 75 yards and hit a 6" steel, or I can put pellet after pellet through a single ragged hole at about 15 yards. Once you get rid of all the plastic bits the gun is much nicer...but out of the box it it a fun plinker. The main reason this gun sells so well is because it is a great platform and can be upgraded into a several hundred dollar match pistol or even a carbine. Review: Top notch - Did my research. Decided I’d go with this one for rodent problems as well as a plinker. This thing packs a punch. Noise level is not too loud. It’s not quiet though. Kinda what you’d expect from a CO2. Remarkably accurate. I’ve only shot at about 20 yards, but yeah. It’s on. Definitely a good quality build and can be upgraded like crazy. Good tool to have for sure. Pellets embedded deep into a scrap of 1 x 4 when I ‘tested’. Ready to rock right out of the box. I was pretty impressed. This thing is no joke, not a toy by any means. Treat as you would any pew. Safety first! Overall excellent. ## Features - BOLT ACTION: The single-shot bolt action features an updated design for easier cocking and loading. - CO2 POWERED: Uses one 12-gram CO2 cartridge (not included) to reach speeds up to 460 feet per second. - RIFLED BARREL: The alloy steel barrel is rifled to put a spin on the .22 caliber pellets for better accuracy. - HANDLING GRIP: Features an ambidextrous synthetic grip with a thumb rest and checkering for a secure hold. - INNOVATION STARTS HERE: In 1924, Crosman introduced the first pneumatic pump airgun, delivering power without powder.

No apparent loss of pressure. Michael's answer of around 70 shots is probably pretty accurate. I haven't counted but you can definitely tell when the cartridge needs changing. You can hear when the pellet doesn't have the same punch behind it and the pellets start hitting low. I think it may be more like 50 shots? I know that when I do notice the cartridge needs changing, I unscrew the cap and only get a short "phisst" and that is it. It's empty. It uses all the CO2 effectively. **Q: could this take out a rat?** A: Yes, in fact in the UK the 2240 is renamed "The Ratcatcher" on the box it comes in. In other countries I think it's named the "Ratbuster". If I can kill racoons with my 1000 fps .177 then this 620 fps .22 can take out rats and squirrels! **Q: How many shots from one co2 ?** A: About 30-35 before you notice a drop in pressure. **Q: Can you put a silencer on it? What kind? Does it affect the power?** A: I second that Mike from TKO makes one heck of a moderator for all kinds of air guns including the crosman 2240. With the moderator on 2240 your neighbors won't be able to hear you shoot targets in backyard in fact the pellet impacting target is louder than the shot!! Very quiet. Hope this helps . I believe it was under $60.00. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great CO2 Gun for Tinkers and Plinkers *by M***K on February 10, 2013* I had one already (over ten years old) so I already knew about it's accuracy and I wanted another CO2 pellet gun to train my daughter (6).

Well made in America by Americans from American material, this product stands out in the vast inventory of products made overseas. This is a solid pistol, made mostly of metal. It is very simple to operate (especially if you FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS) and extremely accurate. It is more than capable of knocking over row after row of pop cans at 10 meters (33ft.) and is powerful enough to function as a pest controller within that distance on vermin such as starlings, pigeons, mice and rats. It is single-shot and also has a manual safety, has no recoil and doesn't make much noise. It does not require pumping. As such it is ideal for teaching kids basic firearms handling, usage and safety. It also is hard for adults to put down. It accepts standard 12-gram Co2 powerlets (each good for up to 30-35 powerful shots) and Crosman Premier 14.3gr. pellets are a perfect match for this gun. Both are also available through Amazon.com as well as Walmart and most sporting goods stores. Remember that this is a CO2 powered arm and that velocities fall off once the ambient air temperature falls below 70 degrees Fahrenheit. It will not perform very well outdoors in winter temperatures. Right out of its bubble packaging, it is great big cheap fun HOWEVER you will soon discover that this is also the basic Crosman system upon which thousands of enthusiasts perform endless modifications to regulate power, convert to HPA (High Pressure Air) or bulk Co2, or just make look very very awesome. There are literally dozens of companies offering everything from modification parts and systems to full-custom guns. Whether you purchase this pistol as the beginning of a fascinating and addictive hobby, to teach your youngster how to safely handle firearms, pest control in the barn that won't freak out the cows or simply provide hours of inexpensive plinking fun for yourself and/or your family and friends, $50 (or $56 at its price today, DELIVERED) is $$ well spent. ## Frequently Bought Together - Crosman 2240 Bolt Action CO2-Powered .22 Pistol - Crosman 15-Count CO2 Cartridges For Air Rifles And Air Pistols - CrosmanCrosman --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sk/products/1431140-crosman-2240-bolt-action-single-shot-22-caliber-co2-air](https://www.desertcart.sk/products/1431140-crosman-2240-bolt-action-single-shot-22-caliber-co2-air) --- *Product available on Desertcart Slovakia* *Store origin: SK* *Last updated: 2026-09-04*
