The Crosman 2240XL delivers the same quality and enjoyment that the standard 2240 offers but with some very intriguing upgrades! The 2240 has historically been a favorite among the modders and tinkerers in the airgun community, thanks to a lot of aftermarket parts and support offered by the New York based manufacturer. Embracing that, Crosman now offers the 2240XL, featuring two key upgrades over the original. The first upgrade is the inclusion of the steel breech. Featuring an 11mm dovetail for mounting optics, the steel breech offers more rigidity for the barrel. It can also accomodate the LPA MIM rear sight, though there is no provision for a front sight out of the box. Upgrade number two can be found at the end of the rifled steel barrel. A threaded end cap, with 1/2"x20 threading to allow the addition of a moderator or custom muzzle brake to be fitted. This comes with a plastic thread protector to keep your threads from being damaged when not in use. The rest of the 2240XL matches up with the classic version. Velocities up to 460 fps from a single 12 gram CO2 cartridge, delivering up to 60 shots per cartridge. A genuine pleasure to shoot, the smooth bolt action is easy to operate. With solid performance and important upgrades, the 2240XL deserves a place in your air pistol arsenal. Shop related categories: pellet guns, pellet pistols
