Soooo I decided that while I am waiting for my CCS 2300KT to arrive I ordered a 1377 from Walmart today; it will be ready for store pickup Thursday. :-*
I will now have something to "plink" with and do a few mods, i.e. steel breech, a longer barrel, shoulder stock and a scope/red dot sight. And who knows what else down the road. :)

Modding is only limited by ones wallet, open it wide for the most fun :-* :-* :-*

;) ;) So TRUE! :) :)
One of the first things you will notice is the trigger on the 2240 &/or 13xx guns. The triggers & sears need some smoothing. There are U Tube and many posts on the web regarding the procedure.
One of the best trigger springs I have found is the one Roy @ Mountain Air makes/sells. I have them on all of my carbine 22xx & 13xx guns. Most of my pistols have the 1701P type trigger frames as they are better but cost $35.+ more than the trigger smoothing & spring & guide.
I just got a CCS gun and had not remembered how much in need of trigger work the basic Crosman is right from the factory.

Yep, that's the first thing I will do when I get this baby...get out the smoothing and polishing gear (Dremel). :-*

Is there no end to the mods for those?

Well my order is in at Wally World, but I have changed my mind on the aquisition. After pondering this decision and calculating costs, I realized (which I already knew in the back of my mind) that I can order the 1300KT from the CCS with steel breech, the stock I want, a longer barrel, muzzle brake of my choice and no optics, as I have a couple suitable scopes, for about $15 more than just what the stock 1377 cost me ($49 + tax and adding the steel breech mod ($46-$49). :-* Only downside is the waiting. :(
The wait might be a little longer than it normally is. I ordered my KT2300 on the 5th of July. I must confess that I failed to hold out on their special. I called Crosman customer service on the 10th of August because they had sent me two e-mails to rate my recent purchase. I was informed that they had received more orders than expected. Good news is I'm still in queue. In hindsight I shouldn't have waited to order.

I already have a 2300KT on order so will wait on the next "holiday discount" to order the 13xx and/or 2400KT. :-*
