Okay... It is time for some input from you guys...

I have been messing around with some concepts for a new "Small Tank" bulk air systems for the 2240 & 2250's...

Here are some concept photo shops...

The first is using a Daisy Avanti 2.5 oz tank. Great for the 2240 but too long with the 2250 gas tube... (Shown with 16" barrel) Can be HPA ready with a remote tank... Other Plus... If you are using a high rise breech... There should be enough clearance for using a 3.5 or 9 oz tank... A custom fore stock can be made to cover up most of the tank and gas tube.

#1


QB 79 bulk tank block... Not HPA ready and will require the use of one of B&A's Bulk valves... A custom fore stock can be made to cover up the tank valve, block and gas tube.

#2


This is an actual photo of my own mess on my sons 2240. Mind you I am waiting for a 2250 tube to fill in the void between the upright and the gas tube... It is also HPA ready with a remote tank...

#3


Which would you prefer for fit, style & function?

I voted for #2, but I would like to see it with the butt stock and brake from #3.

Butt stock is no problem... The brake... I would have to use a longer barrel to clear the tank.

I know what you mean about the brake. This is my 2240 (with the standard barrel). I had to do some sculpting to get the CO2 cylinders into the tube.


My preference for #2 is for ergonomic reasons - that tank setup looks to be the most comfortable for the left hand (right handed shooter). Since they all have a lot of stuff hanging out in front, they really aren't pistols now. They have morphed into a kind of carbine, hence the butt stock preference.

The cool thing about the Stock Adapters I make... is you have "Stock Options"...

You just need to get one of the "Tippman Custom 98" butt stocks...

Here are a few... I have even seen a few wood ones...
