Crosman 1377 Quick questions

[short-carabine]

Guys,

Any advice you can offer on this would be much appreciated!

I've decided to venture into doing a Crosman 1377 mod, but was hoping for some advice on a couple of basic issues that other 1377/22 owners might be able to help on. I know my way round CO2, but haven't really done much with multi pumps.

First up, there seems a lot of contradictory advice on the net about how best to lube these pistols- some say a drop of pellgun on the cup every 250 shots, some people say this is a massively bad idea-any views welcome!!

Secondly, I want to fit a red dot, but not sure if tube type or holographic would suit best. I may be carbining the pistol and this might have some bearing on the choice? Anyone have any experience good/bad of red dots on 1377/22s?

Many thanks

I've been feeding my 1322 the odd drop of pellgunoil for nearly 20 years & it's still working,

Nick I have a custom 1377 which has a .22 barrel.
Is this a popular mod that would appeal to mr carabine and do you have any idea on the technical ins and outs? Certainly only needs 6 pumps to give good performance.
Which may be why it was done.

Cheers, Nick

That's good enough for me! Looking forward to doing one of these up..I'm happy with my 2250 now, and 13xx's look like fun. Might go .22 as gingernut suggests, but still thinking it through. These are just as moddable as Ratcatchers

There's no reason not to have a spare barrel, breech & bolt in an alternate size - I have the bits in .177 for my 1322

Best of both worlds then I can see this being a 2 step mod...
