Recently picked up a model 130 crosman (likely made around 1970s) and found it to be quite an interesting one. In case people arent familiar with the model its a autococker 22 pumper pistol with no hammer which means the shot feels instantaneous (compared to most other pumpers). Crosman has made other autocockers including the 140 and 1400.
Also, it has a lot of unique and good vintage parts for using on things like the 1377. For example the grip frame is all one piece metal with steel safety. It also has a steel breech+barrel thats meant to be one unit and extremely hard to separate (but possible with good approach and some luck lol), this is important because its really the only steel breech radiused to fit 3/4" maintube from crosman, even crosmans current 13xx steel breeches are only radiused for the 2240s 7/8" tube.
The 130 itself is really quite weak since the pumpstroke is too small(especially for 22) even shorter than 13xx. Im gonna see how doable it is to transfer the selfcocking valve train onto a 1377 or 22 , at first glance it seems manageable. Some probably prefer the current style valves but im a fan of the quick shot cycle of the autocockers. Heres some pics of the 130 dissembled.

I say go for it! And keep us posted.
I personally am not a fan of the auto cocking design and converted a 1300, the evolution of the 130, with 13xx parts.
