Page 8 - Crosman .22-Cal Steel Breech Kit Reviews

I like Metal not plastic,I like the fact that I can scope it now, It was fairly easy to install( read the instructions), looks good and didn't harm the accuracy. Now I would like a longer barrel and a silencer to remove the fairly loud report. That is for another review. Overall I like this Steel Breech Kit.

I can't think of anything. ( When I think too much, I fall asleep)

Read the instructions and don't over tighten the fasteners.

Is a lot more sturdy and stable than the oringinal plastic receiver. And it provides mounting rails for a scope or red dot sight.

Like another review by Joe my bolt slot was not properly cut and the forward part was too tight and would not let the bolt slide forward and engage with the slot prior to firing. Rather than deal with returning it I got out the Dremel and grinder tip and 10 minutes of grinding enlarged the slot enough to allow the bolt to slide well.

Poor quality control on this batch. Check it before you install it on your gun.

The bolt / bolt slot was not properly cut - either the slot or the bolt handle was the wrong size. The bolt would not open all the way nor lock shut. Unfortunately I broke it trying to make it work (the bolt). When I called Pyramyd, I was informed that I needed to speak with Crosman - it was not Pyramyds responsibility

Better product, better customer service

Steel breech is the recommended way to mount a good scope. This was fairly easy to install and provides a solid mount.

nothing

Instructions are fine print and not that easy to follow. PA sent me link to youtube video for installation. That was a huge help. Biggest challenge was my old eyes and tiny grub screws.

The price was the best I found,Shipping was fast installation easy. It adds quite a bit of weight to my gun.

I believe that a rear sight should be included, or at least the ability to reuse the old sight

the steel breech fit tighter than factory ,& gives it a better look

I had to drill a hole for my 2289g backpacker , would like to see hole factory machined for all guns for easier installation .

I actually liked the brass bolt on the original gun. But once I got used to this one it is no different. I would recommend every person who is going to have the gun upgrade right from the start. This part should really be part of the original gun.

Add some sort of rear sight. Even if it is a fixed integral groove or something at least it gives the shooter some sort of option to get shooting other than making further purchases. When you get this in the mail and realize that you don't have a scope ring in your house you are pretty much sitting with a new toy and no way to use it.

No sight comes with this. I know they say it in the description but it is important enough to say over and over.

Easy to install using youtube vids. Good quality and adds stability.

Paper directions were unreadable. Copy of a copy of a copy etc.

It's steel, I can get rid of that bad OE sight.

Better instructions. If you don't understand the concept you'll have a hard time with the instructions. Although it only took a couple of minutes to do.

I think it helps with the overall balance of the pistol as well.

Robust solid construction, longer than original plastic breech, built in rail, creates the opportunity to run many more rear open sights, holds the barrel more steadily, actually has a barrel set screw, parts look and feel like high quality.

The plug that goes in after the bolt is not made to fit tight inside the breech. Even when the rear screw is in and torqued the plug still easily moves. I very much wish there was an option to choose between this blued finish and a polished finish, the finish on my bolt (which isn't the same blued finish that the rest of the breech is) is already wearing away after 150 shots.

My kit only came with one out of the two Allen Keys pictured.

quality, easy installation, adds the ability for scope or other types of sights. I like the way its a little heavier in the hand.

better instructions that could be read, I'd like to see one in a left handed version for right handed people.

this is one mod that is a welcomed sight, better than the plastic that comes on the gun, better scope mounting also. When screwing the bolt handle in use a little blue Loctite.

Great construction and it allows you to install a scope or other accessories. Includes all tools needed to install.

Should make it so you can still use the stock rear sight. Have options for extended bolt probe and handles. Better instructions.

Makes the 2240 a little heavier. Easy to install and a must have upgrade and should be first thing you do.

A must for using a scope. The set screw secures the barrel.

Nothing

Not only necessary for mounting a scope, it has a set screw to secure the barrel which the stock plastic breech does not have.

This was an easy upgrade to install for me, but might not be for some beginners.

The instruction sheet was terrible. It is tiny and very sloppily reproduced so that the print is smeared and blurry.

Fits Perfectly and Functions properly without fitting.

Leave off dovetail cut for sight.

Solid replacement for the plastic receiver, allows the mounting of a good rear sight or optic. Comes with all the tools you need for installing.

Lots of sharp edges at chamber, easily polished off, but should come deburred.

Adds considerable weight to 2240.

works great. with a scope mounted at 50 feet can do a dime size group every time. worth the money. Thanks.

longer breech & scopeable. item is well made.

instructions

instructions are about useless. print is so small, you cant read it. luckily the conversion is pretty easy so you don't have to rely on instructions.

Metal upgrade. Better quality sights or optics can be used.

Chrome bolt.

Instruction images require a magnifying glass. A few steps could be added for ease of install.

Good product. Easy to install on the gun. It allows for installing different types of sights and scopes on my Crosman 1322 and 2289. It is sturdy and well made and adds some weight to the guns.

Crosman should offer this breech kit as standard equipment on all their guns that use it and charge accordingly for the gun. However, I understand the need to provide consumers with a good product at a reasonable price and therefore their reason for not making it standard equipment.

I haven't fired my guns through a chronograph yet, but it seems like my guns have more power since I installed the steel breech kit.
