    Crosman bits wanted

    Hi guys. I'm now almost finished restoring my old Crosman 1300 pistol to it's former glory. So far, from various BBS users it's had a new set of seals, a new pistol grip and frame, and off e-bay I've managed to source an original steel rear sight, a box and an instruction manual. I also re-blued the steel parts and it's now looking really nice, but it still doesn't seem as powerful as I remember (nostalgic rose tinted specs?).
    I'm in need of 2 pieces to complete the job, so does anyone have the following knocking about in a spares drawer?:-
    The plastic strip from between the barrel and air cylinder.
    The windage adjustment screw for the rear sight.
    I don't mind paying a reasonable amount for these, but Chambers was asking £13 just for the plastic strip which I thought a (big) bit too much.
    When I recieved the box the other week I put the pistol in it and was instantly transported back to Christmas day 1976 Felt a bit choked I did

    Why? Is it like saying "McBeth" to an actor?

    Terrible, especially for me. When I hear it I end up logging on and spending too much money

    Tell me about it. The box for the Crosman cost me as much as my mam paid for the pistol in 1976

    Hi Harry

    The bedding strip of a 1322/77 can be cut down to fit, so anybody who has fitted a custom breach on one of these pistols should have the strip spare. so you may have better luck asking in the pistola section.
    I'll have a look today and see if I have a screw to fit the sight.


    All the best Mick

    Ah ha Harry

    If it's the screw that fits into the end of rear trigger frame screw, I have some brass ones if that's OK but you have to use a small washer with them.

    PM me your addy and I'll drop a couple in the post to you.



    All the best Mick
