The most common Crosman 2240 problems reported by owners include the plastic breech, which can feel flimsy compared to aftermarket steel replacements. The factory sights are basic and can be difficult to adjust precisely. Some users report inconsistent velocity in cold weather — CO2 performance drops significantly below 10°C. The trigger is heavy and not adjustable out of the box. The Crosman 2240 air pistol can also suffer from CO2 leakage if the cartridge is not seated correctly or if the seals degrade over time. The good news is that almost all of these problems can be fixed with aftermarket parts. Steel breeches, replacement triggers, and seal kits are widely available and easy to fit. Crosman 2240 Air Pistol Accessories — Customisation Galore One of the main reasons for the 2240’s popularity is the huge range of aftermarket parts available. A steel breech is the most popular upgrade, allowing you to mount a red dot sight or scope. A Crosman 2240 air pistol silencer is another common addition — the Ratbuster comes with one fitted, but standard models can be threaded or fitted with an adapter. Longer barrels, adjustable triggers, walnut grips, CO2 cap covers, and power adjusters are all available. At Fieldcraft Airguns, we stock a range of 2240 accessories and can advise on the best upgrades for your needs.
