If you do a search on this website for "1377" It brings up several conversations about the gun. After reading about them I have been wanting to buy one. I got the bug. I like that you can upgrade them with a stock, and a better breech and bolt. Also I have read from Lawdogs previous posts that somewhere you can find a better barrel. I like little projects like this. I have some questions still....
1. What kind of scope is recommended with the shoulder stock? Does it need to be a pistol scope? Does it have to be a tough Airgun scope like the one I have on my Springer?
2. Where do you get a better barrel?
3. What is the best route to mount the scope?
4. What do you use your 1377 for?
I want one because there is a major Pigeon and Ground Squirrel problem here. Nobody else wants to do anything about it so I will be glad too. Any help would be appreciated.
Why not send Jim Giles at Crooked Barn an e-mail(jim@crookedbarn.com) and tell him what you want to do. Jim is a great guy that can help with with everything you will need.
To answer your questions lets take them by the numbers.
1.] No you don't need a pistol scope when using the shoulder stock. I have Burris R/A(rimfire/air rifle approved) scopes on all my Crosman's(2 1377's & 1 1322). Like with other pump rifles the scope doesn't really need to be springer approved, just make sure it will focus down to the range you will be shooting.
2.] Again ask Jim Giles at Crooked Barn.
3.] The CB Ultimate Breech is the best way to go but you can purchase barrel mounts from Crosman that will do the job.
4.] Pest control. Keep one in the barn, one in my reloading shed and one on the back porch(1322).
I like the Crosman 1377 and it lets a person custom fit it to your taste. Lawdog
