Crosman air pistol - General discussion / Re: Random Keyhole

Last post by Dee Dub - April 11, 2024, 03:00:48 AM

Good question! The pellet could have passed through other media before embedding in the plywood. And now that I connect a couple weak brain cells, I believe powder rounds that have keyholed in the past showed the keyhole in the paper instead of the backstop.

Thanks for your help!

Is there more than just paper before the plywood?  I've seen the keyhole when the pellet goes through corrugated cardboard, as depending on where in hits in the corrugations, it will be made to tumble one direction or another.  The good accuracy however tells me it's not happening in flight before it reaches the target.  Even with my 1322 pistol with open sights, I can do 2" groups at 45 feet, and the limit seems to just be how steady I can hold it.

Crosman air pistol - General discussion / Random Keyhole

Last post by Dee Dub - April 10, 2024, 03:19:37 AM

This little 1377 is exceeding my expectations as a cheap plinker, although I am getting a random pellet imbedded sideways (keyhole) in the plywood paper target backstop. Is this normal for this low budget pistol? So far, I'm shredding the tin cans, but that keyhole in the paper is like a dripping faucet in the back of my head.

Thanks in advance!

Ha... it starts anew ...... now you must learn the way of CO2 my son ....then of course PcP

HA! I may have finally found a reason to retire.  Falling down the forum rabbit hole, I see some incredible air gun performance. Even big game hunting.

So much to learn, so much fun to have.

Ut-oh!

I'm having so much fun plinking with this, I just bought one as a birthday gift for my hobby machinist buddy. I may have to have one to plink with and one to never finish modifying!

The 1377 and 1322 have been called "the most expensive cheap gun out there," or something like that, because people start cheap, and find out about the unlimited ways to modify and customize them, and increase power, and so on.

Just took the 1377 out of the box and set a pop can up in the back yard at 15 yards. Two pumps on Crosman Premier pointed 7.4 gr pellets and the can is twitching. On four pumps I had to go retrieve the can out of the brush. Still have the stupid grim on my face. This is going to be a great hobby!

Ya, that was a bit unclear but now I understand what you were trying to show. From previous posts in the thread, I do believe that uncletom has a 1322 as well as a 2240. I'm still puzzled as to why the breech he purchased fits so poorly. I'm still wondering if the European company that he purchased the breech from imports them from the U.S. (i.e. Crosman) or if they are manufactured in Europe?

The only manufacturer in Europe who made and sold aftermarket Crosman breeches was Gmac. Was because they closed shop just recently, a shame.

Flex sir, 17xx breeches are totally different and cannot be mounted on either tubes; it has 4 anchor points, the front ones "impale" the valve through the tube for more security, you know, being a PCP.

Sorry if I wasn't too clear, but I just chose to mention it as reference to tube and breech symbiosis. It is a wide and tall breech specifically made to mate perfectly with the 17xx tube diameter---also 7/8" like the 22xx's.

Anyway, I was just curious why UT was too concerned about the so called discrepancy, hence the query if he owns a 13xx.
