1377 to 1322

[derekmcminn]

Purchased an almost brand new 1377 from the Crosman forum classifieds for $30 shipped.

Installed a spare 2250 barrel and 22 bolt guide. Installed a poly tube transfer port.
Revised the trigger to a 1-2 lb crisp pull. Painted the stock grip.
Covered the 2250 barrel with a stainless steel tube that is 12 inches long.
Installed a home made forearm pumper. Painted the stock forearm pumper and
used it as a scope rail. Installed a 12 inch shroud with a fiber optic white dot
front sight. Topped everything off with a Barska red dot.

This thing is a pure joy to walk around with in the backyard and shoot.

Thats a really nice job you did. The 13XX guns are a great platform to play with, I have several and love them. That is an original way to use the pump handle it looks good.

I like it. Now if you put the Crosman buttstock on there it would be a sweet carbine. That replacement forearm looks like it was the adjustable cheekpiece from an ATI Fiberforce stock for an AK or SKS. Darned if that wouldn't be a good replacement for the forearm on the B5-10.

Looks great!  How did you attach the "old" forearm to the barrel?

Used a Dremel to remove some of the plastic inside, then snap fit
onto the stainless steel barrel cover, then used 2 set screws
to tighten it using the same holes that were for the roll pins.

Good way to recycle old parts and gives the gun a unique look.

I got this idea from another member here. Forgot who he is.
Maybe he'll chime in.

Nice looking pistol Derek. I do have a question for you, Where did you find the trigger grip for it?  I've looked around, but not sure if I've been looking in the right place?!?!?!?!? tjk

My girlfriend is a nurse anesthesist. That is from a rubber tubing they use
as a nasal airway. I have it in all of my guns. It makes the trigger wide
and "grippy" which is really nice.

Gotta love the 13xx's ! Here's mine with a 24' barrel, plus tons of other goodies. I ended up going with a 2289 punp arm.

Very nice looking shooters Derek and Mike.  The modding opportunities are endless.  Here's mine (with my CB 2240).

BTW what do you think of think of the Barska red dot?

Looking good Derek.
Nice touch with using the old forearm to mount the red dot. What kind of rail did you use?
Now you need to make a shoulder stock!
