What do I need to do so my 2240 can handle the pressure of a PCP charge? The main tube is stock but the valve has been modified internally. Very good trigger work if I do say so myself. I plan on going bulk.
Thought I would start with a longer tube and later go to a bottle on the back. Jump in any time. Thanks
The valve will need to be pinned radially with screws. An absolute must - don't slack on this, or you may be sorry you didn't. Do a search on here.What do I need to do so my 2240 can handle the pressure of a PCP charge? The main tube is stock but the valve has been modified internally.

A 2240 will yield way to little volume to go 9mm PCP. I'd suggest getting a PCP tube from Don Cothran's shop http://www.cothranmachine.com/). A 2260 and/or a Discovery tube, for volume AND pressure reasons. Don's tubes can withstand a great deal more pressure.
A Crosman steel breech will work for the barrel liner you ordered. However, you will need to have it bored out AND a probe made to match. Don can do up a breech and probe for ya' that will bolt right on.
The transfer port will need to be opened up to .21", or so.
