I'm curious, please cold you take a photo of your 13xx Crosmans with steel breech from the rear?I will get a few pics and post them but it won't be this weekend, sorry. Earlier in this thread, when I pulled the 1377 & 1322 out of the locker to check for the gap, I thought about using a feeler gauge for a precise measurement but didn't have the time to dig out the gauge. Perhaps I'll do that in addition to the pics. Sound good?
I mean, if it works it's good. The Crosmans are quite basic air guns, there's no real need for higher precision. Only, I'm used to powder-guns where even older stuff is dependant on a tight fit. There there's alot of power involved so you need a solid, well made peice. Though I should perhaps not compare the two categories, twas only an observation.
