Wow Rick67, that 2400kt can really stack em!

Rick67 · « **Reply #83 on:** July 28, 2018, 10:54:07 PM »

Congrats, gents! There is no day I don't play with my 1377

Thank you, Hunter sir!

Don Cothran parts for my 2400KT:

Will not use the power adjuster anymore but it is good having one. The safety too because it will sport a Blue Fork trigger assembly!

This is my specified extra length 2260 tube C02 cap with no slot. Looks very clean! Also, I did not pay extra!

I love this gent's parts, they are 1st class all the way!

I will be putting a cerakoted Tungsten Grey AR tube on it:

And a red alum AR stock to match my red scope rings:

or this one:

and this rail to replace the forearm that is why I have 2 DC barrel bands with specified 8-32 screw holes at the bottom:

Will be reversing the rail like the one on my 1377:

I am extremely picky when it comes to color coordination. I don't put scopes/optics with gold inscriptions on a silver gun. If it has gold, it has to go to a brass-inspired gun.

Probably this grip to go with the BF trigger:

I was already planning to build a DC C02 and then the sale came, so I bought one for its parts (valve, barrel, springs, etc.)

Rick there’s no hope for you sir. Attention to detail is one thing...😆

I need to stop visiting this thread. Too much pressure on the wallet.

UPS just dropped off my 1300KT. .22, long steel breech, 18 crs barrel and shoulder stock. All in black. Looks nice. Hope to get to try it out tomorrow.

GreenDragon · « **Reply #87 on:** August 03, 2018, 11:27:05 AM »

UPS delivered my 1300kt last night! Can't wait to try it out this weekend

lordinvincible · « **Reply #88 on:** August 03, 2018, 02:26:02 PM »

got mine too. After looking over the gun, I am surprised to see the trigger is not the same as the one in 2400kt. It doesn't have the adjustment screw and it's super heavy. I had to cut off 2 coils for the pull weight to be acceptable. Also the long steel breach has the set screw right in the front of the loading port instead of under the charge bolt. I find it interfere with loading of certain types of pellets (H&N sniper for example). the gun is super accurate with the 14'' LW barrel. I was popping acorn at 15 yards with only 4 pumps consistently.

The manual says 3 to 10 pumps, however I have read ppl doing 10+? What's the best practice here? So far I am happy with this little carbine.

Rick67 · « **Reply #89 on:** August 03, 2018, 05:30:13 PM »

Yu, that LW barrel of yours is so much more accurate for those big acorns.

Even my 10" OEM Crosman barrel (cleaned it with Hoppes then polished the bore with Mother's then applied Ballistol. I also debureed/polished the leade as well as the transfet port) can do this:

3 pumps, 4, shots, 15 yards, JSB 4.52 8 grain pellets, Vortex Sparc 2 moa red dot..

Same target but this time I installed my Donny FL Tanto..I peppered it with 3 more shots..POI is about the same:

7 shots all in all suppressed and unsuppressed.

We have the same 14" Lothar but I have not shot mine yet.

Almost done:

I am glad I did not buy the PHASE 5 fixed AR stock yet. Good thing I got the Tungsten cerakoted buffer tube first from Ghost 1st:

https://www.ghostrifles.com/collections/accessories/products/rifle-buffer-tube?variant=43032455299

The cerakote is flawless

This one needs an adjustable one because of the short LOP so I should get a Tactical Dynamics version.

I call this one The M400KT, lol! No longer looks like a CCS gun.

Does anyone know what color, without the bluing, the LW barrel from Crosman is? The reason I am asking is I noticed my 1300kt's barrel showing a lot of brown patches/streaks. The color is sorta like bronze. At the first glance I thought it was surface rust but after rubbing it with several cleaner the bronze area still remains. Now I am guessing the LW barrel might be of the bronze color. It's just a shoddy bluing job Crosman did on the barrel. Can anyone chime in?

Thanks!

Talked to Crosman yesterday, they said to start looking for discounts before Thanksgiving thru Christmas.

Airspace · « **Reply #93 on:** August 06, 2018, 05:34:20 PM »

So if we work backwards off the calendar then special discounts should start first of November. That allows up to 5 weeks assembly time and week for shipping to get in time for Christmas

I have 2 Crosman Lothar barrels; a 10" and a 14" and mine do not exhibit those aforesaid bronze streaks. Could be just an anomaly in the bluing process.

I plan to polish mine to sort of match my matte stainless parts. When I polished my 1377 barrel, I just rubbed it (with a cotton cloth dabbed with Mother's) like I would polish a shoe.

Came out nice and it is subdued and mottled with gray-like impressions like a sea creature is. Did not want want to sand it as it would debrade some material.

If you look at the tube of my 1377, that one is a brushed finish. Looks very nice in person.

To achieve the brushed look after removing all the blue including those that were on the etched parts, I used a 400 grit sandpaper wrapped in my palm. Do one section at a time and rotate the tube one way like you would a BBQ--counter or clockwise does not matter for as long as it is one way. The brushed finish hides imperfections, if there are.

I also polished the linkage, in and out, because I hate seeing silver "scars" on a blued part.

Takes a long time to polish parts but it makes me happy when I do each crevice and every nook and cranny. I always check it with a flashlight to see if there are remaining "plaques"..

Imperfections bother me to no end

2400kt was supposed to be here today and nobody was home to sign for it. Bummer...gotta wait another day

lordinvincible · « **Reply #96 on:** August 07, 2018, 09:57:09 AM »

here is a picture of the discoloration I was talking about on my 1300kt's lw barrel.

lordinvincible · « **Reply #97 on:** August 07, 2018, 11:22:15 AM »

update on the barrel issue. Talked to Crosman and a replacement is being sent. What surprises me is they didn't even ask for the old one back! Talking about after-sale customer service, no one can beat Crosman. Now I have one spare LW 14'' .177 barrel which can still shoot the lights out despite the rust issue...What should I do with it?

Rick67 · « **Reply #98 on:** August 07, 2018, 01:07:46 PM »

Do you intend to sell it? Let me know please.

Rick67 · « **Reply #99 on:** August 07, 2018, 01:10:55 PM »

I will polish it, so no problem with the rust thing. Just let me know.

Thanks..
