Quote from: Tater on November 22, 2017, 04:54:30 AMI'd start with a custom shop .22 with a steel breech. Mine's a .177 but I only use it for chipmunks and hosps. Added a TKO and an R. Arms Innovations AR stock. Thats a sharp looking rifle jerry! I didn't know TKO made a moderator for the 1377!!!! How quite is it? As for the .22 crosman wont sent me anything larger then .177. I tried to buy a rifle in .22 once, i even gave them a address to a ffl dealer i wanted it shipped. They told me the ffl dealer had to buy the rifle from them then i had to pay back the ffl business. I informed them that is not how this works lol. So after that i learned crosman doesn't want my direct business here in Illinois unless it was a .177

....While the pumper will generate brid killing power, and you can fine tune that with the number of pumps, just setting up and sighting in will wear you out.
Gonna have to go with the gang that said the CS offerings in CO2....While the pumper will generate brid killing power, and you can fine tune that with the number of pumps, just setting up and sighting in will wear you out.get s CO2 2400 from the Custom shop, a decent sighting system then start defending yer back yard.....

I am 54, smoker, drinker, and built like a pregnant Spider Monkey... far from a picture of health.
Good thing to note ...these guns are essentially plug and play.....steel breech is the same ..to change out all u need is appropriate bolt and barrel....we can get a 22 barrel and bolt to u in the future...if needed...good luck
"It will Keel"
Hopefully others will chime in!I've done lots of mods on these guns. Longer barrel, flat top piston and valve, probe extension to push pellets in further, rva/power adjuster. I also used a 2100 tube to give a longer pump stroke for more power. I made a pumper pcp with an auxiliary tank coming out the side of the valve, experimented with different sizes. Settled for a 12g co2 adapter to give either a air pumped 10 shot string using an empty co2 cartridge or a 40 shot co2 string. I gave that one too my dad and he has shot a few grouse with it. He likes the co2 option and in colder weather he pumps it up to bring the pressure back up on the co2 ☺️. I never thought of doing that, mixing gases, but apparently it works well. It has a pressure gauge so he can tell how many pumps to top up with. Anyway that's getting a little over the top for modding, lol😊
Back to Brandon's initial questions:If you have a 1377 as a bone-stock pumper and want it to be a carbine, order up the 1399 stock, attach it, start drilling tiny holes. These things are notoriously accurate for 10-land Crosman barrels.If you want more excitement or you want to scope it, the first mod is a steel breech. The shorty works fine since the pumper pivot provides a front brace. If you intend to use more than a red-dot or reflex sight, go with the longer breech, though. It adds a few ounces and makes a lightweight pumper more stable.Okay... if you decide you want to sink more money, now you're at the point where- after a steel breech and an on-sale 1377- you should just go all-in and get the 1300KT CCS with the LW barrel for a few bucks more.My 1377 wears a Maximus barrel. It's silly-accurate up to 30-ish yards and probably good for lots more. It also makes a fine companion to my 2400KT CO2 carbine that wears an 18" .22 barrel. Between these two airguns, I don't really need any others for day to day shooting. Of course, I never listen to just my needs. Hence my micro-arsenal.But yeah, steel breech and skeleton stock. Anything else, go the CCS route.
