Nate's 2250
I have no idea how many fps, but it shoots straight, groups well, and hits hard out to 30 yards, which is my max indoor distance. And yes, that indoor length is correct.
The "standard" improvements include a BOSS valve, poly transfer seal, recrowned muzzle, and an HDD is in the tool box waiting for installation.
Blue Fork Design's grip frame. There is virtually no trigger creep, and requires only a few ounces to pull, with very little over travel; it's shocking at first, but awesome once you're used to it. 
 The CAA grip is for a standard AR/M series rifle. It has multiple inserts to fit every hand size; it's very comfortable.  
The forward grip is by FAB and folds down for another pistol grip, offering a number of hold options in the field.
The tapered Picatinny rail is for an AR handle but it levels out the difference between the grip frame and the homemade tube band almost perfectly.
The flashlight mount is also from CAA and has a quick release for use off the gun, and on a belt clip. That's one of my favorite features, as I wear the flashlight for work anyway.
It's a high rise stainless breech by Don Cothran, with the jewelling done by me.
The shroud is by Alejandro and really finishes off the tactical look.
And the shoulder stock alterations have been done by me.
The stock is the original stock that comes on a 2250, and that came with my gun. I cut the pistol grips off and flipped it over so the bottom became the cheak piece. Then I bored it out to fit to the rear of the main tube with some telescoping aluminum pieces. The rear of the stock was then cut off, and realigned with some aluminum plate so it fit my shoulder just right. The original plan was to match up a CAA stock for a real AR rifle, but after the original stock worked out so well I decided to stick with it. The price was right too~ free.

Al Stone's 2240

This is my first attempt to customize a 2240, I have done other guns in the past but never a Crosman, I live in the UK and Crosman is not the most popular airgun manufacturer but gaining ground with the Disco and Marauder, the problem is the price over here nearly twice what it is in the States.

I picked a 2240 for something to do this winter and as I post mostly on North American forums I figured out that I had better get familiar with Crosman products. I found the 2240 easy to work on and the basic gun well made, but spoiled by the use of plastic parts and not being available in .177 over the counter.

The criteria for the customization was that I should do away with the rifle type bolt, (I dislike rifle bolts on pistols) convert to .177 and design a easy to use power adjuster, also I wanted the mods to be in brass.

So to start with, I bought a new standard 2240 and a 10 ¼ .177 barrel and machined a breech to fit, the middle of the breech can be slid out and replaced with a .22 barrel and bolt assembly, the bolt itself is a straight pull to cock and when pushed forward it drops into a recess to lock it in place, it will also stay where you put it, no sliding forward when loading the pistol with it pointing down.

The rear of the breech is a five stage power adjuster, you just need to turn the adjuster ring through 90 deg to cover the full range, at the moment on the lowest setting it shoots around 530fps at 60*F with a very flat shot string, this can be turned up to around 575fps.

Also on the breech is a compact rear sight with adjustment for height and windage and the front sight is also adjustable and it sits on the end of the bit that keeps the noise level down, I have also fitted two barrel bands as I think it keeps the barrel more stable than the little screw under the breech to hold it down.

The trigger unit has had a complete rebuild with bushings for the trigger pivot and a wide shoe for comfort, also a trigger stop and lighter spring, and lastly a pair of carved grips slightly fatter than the originals.

All in all I am pleased with the results also it shoots well, using a bench rest it will shoot 16mm groups at 20m using iron sights, which is comparable to my Rohm target pistol, which makes me very happy with the result.

   

 

Airworx's Tactical QB 79

1. PCP conversion
2.Output pressure on bottle 1100psi
3.All QB79 power mods and polishing

The QB shot at an average velocity of 650 f/s out of the box with all the conversions I pushed the velocity up to an average of 880 f/s
The stock was custom built by myself. The complete conversion took me about a week.
 

 

David Pannell's 1322 Conversion
1377 convert to 1322 carbine with a 14 inch barrel, too many mods to mention, I have done all I can, after many months and some $, it tops out at 730fps!! YEAH
I call it the 1320 TOO much fun!!  It is dead on!!

 

John Williams' 1322
This is a 1322 with AC Customparts everything. The shroud, stock,flat top piston,flat valve with mods,trigger spring with guide, hammer spring and flat head breech screw. the trigger sear has been polished by me, RB grips and a silver BSA red dot that is 5 moa (hard to find). It also has the polytube transfer port mod.

Andrew J Pocock's AS2250

I can't take a lot of credit beyond bolting the parts together and spending some time polishing the trigger and sear but I now have a high powered airgun that shoots nice tight groups out to 40 yards.
The mods list as follow:
Extended probe bolt:  Crooked Barn (USA)
Boss valve:  B&A (USA)
Air bottle adaptor: B&A (USA)
24" crowned barrel: B&A (USA)
Air bottle and regulator:  John DiStefano (USA)
Trigger: GMAC (UK)
Trigger sear:  GMAC (UK)
Adjustable trigger spring: GMAC (UK)
Allen bolts: S D Custom (UK)
Brass Caps: GMAC (UK)
Silencer: Local gunshop (UK)
The most important mods.  Going to HPA for consistent power and then polishing the trigger/sear, crowning the barrel and reducing the trigger pull to about 1½lbs to aid accuracy

 

Dave Pannell's 1377

Here is my crosman 1377 super mod sniper rifle. Over 1,000 fps at 15 pumps!
