Crosman 1322P Air Rifle Premier Kit , caliber - 0.22" REPORT

[fwbsport]

This is a good gun and I am surprised it cost so little.  My embarrassment in owning it is knowing the cost. 

The stock is elitely made strong, light and functional.  It adds accuracy easily by turning it into a rifle.  The noise is less than my springer air rifles except for the Beeman R7. 

Pros: Easy to put together and use right away.  Imagine the old 1322 and it's there.  The bolt is better than the old sleeve they used to have.  There is plastic but not in the stress areas just as the older versions--plastic breech may be replaced if necessary with another or steel one.  I don't plan to switch it out since my .177 1377Classic has the same exact breech and I've been using it over 13 years without a problem.

Cons: Trigger isn't match so getting used to it is necessary before shooting the X ring.  Sights on mine were way right and I readjusted laterally without incident.  However, the sights are not as easily adjustable as they could be with a bit more ingenuity.  Pumping is sharp and not easy when charging up carefully--you'll use muscle to get 8 pumps in (my limit since I got it--I remembered in 1972 I used to use that same number and the gun lasted almost forever).

Notes: This is easily worth getting for anyone who had a 1322 in the early 70's like me.  The .22 is the better version because of .177 not being wide enough to effectively harness full power--this is my observation with most handguns in .22--they shoot harder than the .177 without losing accuracy.

There were mentions of "loose stock" when it is put on.  Mine is very slightly loose but tightening the stock screws any tighter than so much won't apply any more friction to the grip contact with the handle.  Just treat it kindly and don't use the stock as a cocking lever or hold it to cock.  Grip the gun on the top of the breech instead when pumping--I use to do this with the metal breeched one as well in the 70s as a pistol.   Ignore the stock until you need it to shoulder it--there won't be any looseness of significance then.

The pellets and shooting glasses coming with it I have left packaged--I don't use the pellets enclosed with any air gun I have so why open them up.  The shooting glasses are fast becoming required air gunning items for obvious reasons--I wear glasses so I don't need them.

There is sufficient brand new oil in all places.  If I was to say one word about this gun it's "unbelievable".  And I won't have to work on it to make it any better.

Hello John, what kind of 1322 Kit you are reporting about? Is it the Bugout Doomsdaykit, or any other, can't wrap my head around it. Sorry to ask.

[Hoosier Daddy]

That could be it, but this is basically a regular 1322 with the added Stock and some other like the pellets and pouch.
But it could be it. In that case I think the Doomsday bugout kit would be some better, longer barrel and all it needs on that would be a steel breech kit. But that's my 2 cents.

For the trigger, I recommend just over compressing the spring a little. Start with the gun uncocked, pull the stock off, pull the spring you see, compress it with pliers or fingers (I've done both...) until it's shorter than stock, put it back up in the gun and look at the grip side and go until there's about 1/8" of preload on the spring and you should have a much nicer trigger...

my 1322 carbine was a 1377 rear cocker at the beginning. My carbine stock was a bit loose,also. I found running a piece of black electrical tape along the back of the grip frame( the stock grip covers it up) tightens it up nicely.

This is it!

Everyone interested buy it!  Buy it now before it's too late and not available!

No, really, it is really nice but I don't use mine as often as I did in the 70's pistol .22 (1322?) because pumping takes a long time compared to my springers!

Guess that means if you want it be prepared to pump it up a lot!

The trigger can be helpped along a little. (look on the forum.) Pumping is no big deal as long as you dont have lots of pests to shoot at one time. It allows you to customize your output power for the shot you taking.

CCS 1300KT is a better deal + there is the LW barrel option.

[signal3]

Rick67 is spot on. You can get a steel breech, carbine stocks, and the .22 14.6" barrel if ordering from the custom shop for about $30 more...but without the package deal items mentioned by the OP. The longer barrel should give an increase in FPS and the steel breech a more solid barrel base.  Great little shooters in either case.  A neighbor hood buddy had the 1322 back in the day. We ran tons of pellets through that thing!

CCS 1300KT is a better deal + there is the LW barrel option.

Do spend the extra $ for the LW barrel.  It is such a pleasure to hit what you are aiming at that the LW barrel is worth the extra $.  Almost no need to find the best pellet for the gun as the LW barrel shoots most all accurately.
The LW barrel makes a very good gun Great!


OOPS... Didn't notice the date of the post....Info may be out of date for the poster but still relevant for all others.

    I basically got the stock pistol 1322 and then added the skeleton stock to it.  My old eyes won't work with the stock sights, so I installed a steel breech so I had a solid platform for a rifle scope. It's a good shooter. Yeah, the Custom Shop version can be ordered with the steel breech, a longer barrel, and the Lothar Walthar barrel too. But, Crosman charges outrageous prices to ship to Hawaii, as the refuse to ship the guns via Postal.

    I also have a 1377 set up exactly the same. And, yeah, I do like the Doomsday kit for the longer barrel and the quick release rifle stock. The stock screws on the 1377/1322 series, if they won't tighten, try cutting a little off the end of the screws. I think one of the common electrical crimper tools have holes for a few machine screw sizes made for just that purpose.

Got some chrony numbers for that 1322?
