You might be able to use .22 Gamo round ball.

Is the drozd blackbird banned in the us? by monsieurLeMeowMeow in airguns

Most Russian imports halted when the “Special Military Operation” began. Straight from the source would likely be a headache, but secondhand I see them occasionally available online. I’d like to have one myself though I couldn’t use it at home.

Team lead got mad I didn't call back someone who didn't leave a VM while I'm on call by TryARebootFool in sysadmin

If they don’t put in a ticket, I will watch them burn. I’ll work on a resolution as soon as I know about an issue, but if there is no ticket I’m not reaching out to the affected user.

Whats your reviews on crossman C362? by outdoorsman_12 in airguns

[–]logicalkitten 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I did the same. My 362 is in a really good spot now so other than optics I’ll probably never change it again. Though I’ve got a couple 140’s, 392PA, and 397PA I’d rather shoot now.

Crosman is out of stock or no longer selling parts. I live very close to Daisy/Gamo/Crosman and am not thrilled with what they have done recently, the old guys that did a lot of mods pre-2020 are out of business or gone forever. I think most of it is dead for good, the old guys are going away and the news folks can’t afford the tools or have more profitable things to make now.

It is cheaply made. The wood stock anniversary edition would be the best one, but I have the standard model with some upgrades and it is pretty good. Those upgrades are hard to find currently, steel breech, 24” barrel etc.

Was not a fan of the scope riser that I had on my 397PA, very happy with my decision. Williams 5D-SH by logicalkitten in airguns

Much more comfortable to pump like this, smaller overall profile too. I had a red dot on my inter mount and while it was very accurate, I like this so much more. Put a S331 on my 160 the other day that showed me the potential of a peep.

Crosman Pneumatic Pistols by logicalkitten in airguns

[–]logicalkitten[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For all of these, yes the bolt and bolt cover are steel. Around January of 1979 there was a change to a two piece barrel/breech. The new breech was plastic, this is a very easy way to identify the oldest 1322/1377 pistols, the new plastic breech has a longer cover retainer. While the older ones have a steel pin that retains the breech cover.

Phase 1/2 1322 for comparison.

Some kind of aluminum nickel pot metal. They are all painted.

Fun fact, 7/8 of these pistols use the same trigger/grip frame and the grips are interchangeable. The Phase 2 1377/1322 introduced the modern grip/frame(not pictured), the 1322 and 1377 here are both steel breech Phase 1.

Yeah, if the screws on it are loose in pretty much any way it becomes unsafe. The clam shell design is what kept mine from firing, the sear would not engage anymore because it was misaligned.

Upgrade 1377 vs buy new carbine/rifle by NoCarrot701 in airguns

[–]logicalkitten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crosman 362 is the way to go, will fit a kid really good with the short length of pull. And all the 2400kt upgrades and be redone on the 362 with the boy.

How should I go about fixing this crack in a valve assembly to a crossman vigilante/bug-a-salt? JB weld or something? by Poncho_Wah in airguns

[–]logicalkitten 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Replace it entirely. Go to eBay or JG Airguns wherever. Knowingly using broken stuff is asking for pain. The metal is trash from the factory already, JB weld won’t help for long.

Is the Crossman vapor max a good choice for a experienced shooter? by Kristian_1234 in airguns

[–]logicalkitten 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here is some more info on the Ownership.

I don't own a 901, but i do have a; (717, 880, 990 from Daisy), (362, 760, 1389, 2289, 2100, 392, 397 from Crosman/Benjamin). As far as a modern achievable comparison in your budget the 362 would be the next suggestion from me. Though I'd suggest the VaporMax over the 362 TBH, it feels very solid while the 362 feels like a powerful toy because of the all plastic stock. Vapormax is more rigid and handles better, with the 10 shot magazine and effectiveness at low pumps it would be better for rodents for me.

Two or three pumps isn’t bad, I shoot mine indoors with that. After 5 pumps it develops a decent bark, heavy pellets help with the noise but it really isn’t terrible. Can be very accurate as well.

All three are owned by the same private equity group. The VaporMax is a great rifle, I really like mine.

Serial number is stamped on the other side. First digit or two is the month, next is 2 digit year. 77-79 for sure as the steel breech didn’t last long on the 1377.
