Crosman air pistol - General discussion / pump problem on 1377
Last post by chucky - June 10, 2024, 11:31:58 AMHi All
Hoping for some help and advice.
When i pump my 1377 i get no build up of resistance no matter how many pumps i do, there is air going into to valve but i only get 2ft/lb. if i partially pump the piston and release the handle the piston pushes the cocking lever back towards the muzzle so i assume it is holding air. i then placed the tube complete with valve and piston in place into a bath of water, i pumped the piston and there appeared to be no air bubbles and after a few pumps in the water i could not push the piston and further, really strong resistance.
any ideas what is going on as i cannot get more than 2ft/lb or pump resistance under normal circumstances.
this is a real weird one.
thank in advance.

Pellet Picture Database / Bargain pellet find!
Last post by MoWog72 - May 27, 2024, 09:39:54 PMThought I should share my good fortune. Several years ago I used to frequent an awesome surplus store which has since closed. I was able to buy 60+ boxes of Crosman Copperhead (175 count) wadcutter pellets in .22 caliber for $25! Originally discounted to $1.00 a box. I had been shooting them off and on for a while with my now departed Crosman Quest break barrel rifle, and set them aside. They shot okay, but not impressive in my Crosman 1322. I recently came upon a tip to wash and dry dubious lead pellets and lube them with Endust (a dusting/cleaning spray). Boy was I surprised. Having a great time shooting in my basement at 10 yards with my modded 1322.
So, keep your eyes open!

Last post by Drdan - May 27, 2024, 08:18:42 AMThe continuing saga of my 2300S build...
A relative sent a Cochran Machine Shop stainless steel breech, a stainless barrel band, a stainless steel probe, etc. to Teun Meen in Holland in February, and on Saturday it was sent back to the USA reason unknown. I advised Mr. Meen that the package was on the way and assumed it was received... I'll have the package sent to be by FedEx and then ship it off to Mr. Meen.
It's probably going to be another month or more before I have the completed pistol. In hindsight I should have purchsed a Feinwerkbau p11 and had a green dot attached to it.

Crosman air pistol - General discussion / Update on my 2300S build
Last post by Drdan - May 09, 2024, 08:04:47 AMHi everyone,
My 2300S project is taking a bit more time than anticipated. I sent a lot of upgraded parts from Alchemy, Don Cothran's shop, and others to Holland for the build.
A billet aluminum trigger guard ordered from e-bay had lots of unsightly machining marks, so Teun Meen of Metura Sports sent it out for sand blasting, and the result was really nice, so much so that I won't be having it black anodized. It will look nice with all of the stainless accessories... The pistol will hopefully be delvered sometime in May.
I am planning to give all of the spare parts away, and I will post something in the "For Sale" section of this forum once everything arrives in Germany. The pistol itself will NOT be for sale.
This is a list of the items that will be given away:
Williams FP notch rear sight
OEM aluminum muzzle brake with sight post
OEM plastic grips
Buck Rail solid plastic grips
OEM sear
OEM plastic trigger guard
OEM extended probe
OEM trigger
Don Cothran stainless steel bolt handle
OEM safety
OEM long steel breech
OEM screws
OEM CO2 tube power adjuster
OEM CO2 piercing end cap
OEM breech end cap
OEM barrel band
OEM hammer
Blued steel 1/2" UNF muzzle brake adapter for threaded 7/16" (11mm) barrel
If anyone has an idea as to how to find a worthy recpient of these spares please chime in. Perhaps it would be someone currently planning or working on a 2300T or 2300S build, or someone owning one of these guns and needing some spares...
As soon as the pistol is delivered, I will post photos and a list of all the mods.
