My 1377 realy wants modded.

[FOX FIRE]

curious: on mine the top of the reciever is squared off & made of plastic, some in the pictures have a round reciever made of metal, is this a difference between year models or wher rifle barrels have been fitted to the pistol frame ??

All new guns have plastic breeches.
The steel ones are after market breeches.
You can get one at Crosman.

Fox Fire, This shows the  Aftermarket Steel breech, Barrel, before installation on 1377.

Thanks for the reply, I realized what it was after poke'n around on YT & found a video of a guy change'n one out, the guy mentioned something about he couldnt use the bolt to cock the spring & he had to pull a plunger from teh back of the reciever to compress the spring, is this an older 1377 he used in teh demonstration or a nessasry add on ?? have'nt noticed it on any others tho.

The earlier (pre '97 I think) 13XX guns had a rear cocking knob like you saw in the video, don't worry about that as yours doesn't apply to that method.

You are correct.
 Older 1377's had a different breech with a sliding cover to open the breech, them you had a rear knob to pull and cock the pistol.

 Later version 1377's have the bolt action which does both. Opens the breech AND cocks the hammer.

When putting a aftermarket steel breech (with Bolt action) onto a OLDER 1377,... the bolt only opens the breech, but the rear knob remains for cocking.

When putting a aftermarket steel breech with bolt action onto a NEWER 1377, ... The bolt opens the breech AND cocks the pistol.

This video shows an OLDER 1377. Look closely at the breech.
It has the OLDER rotating covered breech.

Replaced my roll pin on my 2289g.
Two 10-32 bolts 2" long=10 cents ea. cut to fit
Four 10-32 acorn nuts,nickle plated=14 cents ea.
the extras are for my 1377 pistol.

Mike, I am concerned that the threads will accelerate wear on the pump arm linkage.  It would be much better to cut a short piece of 3/16" (smooth) rod and thread the ends to accept the acorn nuts.

I was thinking the same thing when I read it.

The weak point is not the tube. The holes will elongate in the pump arm linkage, not the tube. A hardened precision ground pivot pin that is kept properly lubricated will do more for the longevity of your pump linkage than will any threaded machine screw.

Michael,
I think I had seen somewhere at one time, where a guy had drilled the linkage a bit larger, then used a brass shoulder bushing in the linkage, with a solid pin.
 Are you familiar with these ?

my 1377s roll pin started walking also the 1322 is still
I used drill bit shank and because it is only temp till I get the one I ordered ,  rubber band wrapped tight on each side hold it tightly in place.

If  I  liked the look I could  chuck it up in  my drill press and use my dremel or die grinder to machine a groove for  C-clips...

[K.O.]

I should say also that the hole was slightly smaller than the shank and rather than drill it out I milled the shank down slightly.

I put it in my drill press shank side down and hit it with an angle grinder and then used the grinder to cut to length.

Haywire...by chance you make'n the pins tha cool  look'n front sight to sell ??

I can't see how using a brass bushing, which is softer than the metal in the pump linkage, would help to prevent wear. For what it would cost to have the work done, you could replace the linkage.
