Crosman 2260

Airguns are another one of my long time revived hobbies.  I used to shoot airguns as a kid all the time but I lost interest when I got older and started a family of my own.
Well anyways, I started collecting airguns again and  I recently purchased a Crosman 2260 which is a CO2 powered .22 cal rifle.  It’s pretty cheap at about $80.  I also  ordered the steel breech from Crosman’s website so I could mount a scope. The Crosman 2260 is highly customizable and there are unlimited aftermarket parts for this gun.
Crosman 2260
This is my first CO2 powered rifle and I have to say it is a pretty good one for the money.  I can get about 25-30 shots per 12g CO2 cartridge.   This gun is a entry level gun and is perfect for a 1st CO2 powered rifle.

Range
It is winter here in Michigan so I can not use my outdoor range.  I built a nice setup in my basement and can shoot 15yds+ with ease.
Pellet Trap
My pellet trap is homemade out of scrap wood and it has thin steel plates in the back to stop the pellets.  It works perfect and will stop a 32 grain pellet out of my Airforce Condor @ 1150 fps.  I put sand in the bottom to catch the pellets.  I have not had one pellet bounce out of this trap yet.


So far the gun shoots exceptional.  The pellets on the left target are Crosman premier hollow points (14.3 grain) and the pellets on the right are JSB Exact Jumbo RS (13.4 grain).

  1. Nice one Mike, I too have chosen the 2260 as my first CO2 rifle (after a similar time lag) and although it is a bit basic as supplied the potential for turning it into something special is a huge plus point.

  2. GREAT WORK ON THE AIRFORCE GRIP ADAPTER, ANY CHANCE THAT YOU COULD SHARE THE G CODE WITH ME .OR EVEN A DXF FILE THANKS, GREG

  3. Very nice trap How thick is the steel plate? This is the first time I have seen this trap. Funny how it looks very much like the trap I built last month. I used one soild sheet of #10 ga. steel. I have not yet decided on a pellet rifle, but lean to the crossman guns that sell between $140 – $200. Any suggestions?Please tell me the gage of your steel and if you have any dimpeling or breakdown of the steel.

  4. Can anyone tell me how to dissemble a Crossman 2260 C02 rifle? There is a C02 cylinder stuck down inside it? Thanks in advance. Ron

  5. To remove a stuck CO2 cylinder simply remove the the screw in device that covers the front of the tube with the cylinder in. Point the gun downwards but not at your feet. Cock the gun and fire. The cylinder should then simply slide out and fall to the ground. It took me a while to find this out.
