Looking forward to seeing your pistol.  Go to this website where you can reduce the size of your image for free online:

Photo Compressor

As an alternative go to PAINT and click on the part I am showing with a red box.  My home computer is set for everything in Italian, but Paint is basically identical to the English and German version... 

Hope this helps!

Back in 2022 I had a thread on this forum about my Crosmods grip and a planned 177 barrel conversion from a 22 barrel. Had some help from members and I finally got it done. I'd attach pics but I need to make them smaller and I don't know how to do it. Now I'm thinking about changing out that Crosman 177 barrel for a LW barrel, either from Crosman or Alliance Hobby. I want to set the beast up as a 10m target pistol, but can't decide on barrel length so I'll ask this forum for inputs on what length should provide a real tack driver - either leave it at 10" or move up to 14-14.5"? All comments are welcome. Thanks Dave B

Zebrawood really "pops".   I like mine.

I wish I could get a 2250 forearm in zebrawood.

Steve Cocoran sent me this image of two sets of grips he made, and I opted for the target model in Zebrawood.

A Skanaker is one of those guns that I always wanted but never could find for the right price. The three on eBay are way way too high, I bid on the one for parts and  I always get a kick out of sellers that say "needs seals, but those are easy fixes". If it was so easy, he'd have done it and sold it as working.  I'd have paid $150-160 but no more. I learned my lesson on a Daisy 777 that was NIB. Got it and found it too heavy - I preferred the 747. Oh well, back to Crosman pistols - easy to work on and parts galore.

Quote from: uncletom on March 03, 2024, 09:42:21 PMCrosman breeches, plastic as well as metal ones have the same radius, and are made for models using CO2 cartridges, like the 2240 and 2300. They're not intended for the variable pump-guns such as models 1377 and 1322 as these have a lesser body diameter. Breeches simply don't fit well. Any one noticed this?

It's actually pretty outrageous, they never bothered manufacturing a breech for the 1377/1322.

Cannot disagree - it would only be a matter of using a different diameter ball end mill.  But they don't move about - on my one example, a 1322 carbine which I rarely shoot.  Most of my CAPOF guns are 22xx pistols and carbines.  I would be interested in knowing of experiences of steel breeches, kit or OEM, on 13xx guns which may impart more stress on the platform  due to pumping.  But I have seen (with modest experience) no issue pumping 25 times with the 1322 that has an FTP.

these come up from time to time and in the past they were bought up and disappeared but
in the last two months there was one on Gun Broker and the starting price was 159 bucks nice shape but as we know it would more then like need rebuilding
it was for sale for 6 weeks and they lowered the price to 150 and it was gone
my thought was no one really want to deal with these any more
JG airguns has a few parts but that is about all your going to find without doing some phone work
