I have achieved 1377 nirvana

"A transcendent state in which there is neither suffering, desire, nor sense of self, and the subject is released from the effects of karma and the cycle of death and rebirth. It represents the final goal of a Crosman 1377."

Bill of materials:
  • steel breech
  • extended probe
  • steel pivot pin
  • threaded aluminium barrel band
  • flat top piston and valve
  • power hammer with brass guide rod
  • wider and polished stainless steel trigger sear
  • marauder grips
  • stock adapter power adjuster
  • folding stock
  • walnut pump handle made by Andy Davies in the UK
  • nondescript chinesium dovetail to picatinny adapter
  • Eotech XPS2-0
  • Fox 600 suppressor
This is certifiably the second dumbest thing I have ever conjured into being and I have absolutely zero regrets about any of it.

Eotech no problems….If you have the loot, I say go for it….we only here once.
I have a genuine Trijicon micro reflex on Walther LP53…
Yes, sir... definitely not dogging the fellow on it...haha If you got it, flaunt it! Never saw the allure with the Trijicons...until I used one... now my P320 wears a Trijicon RMR. :)

How do you cocking the firing mech?

I had a 1377. Bought it as a teen, came with a plastic breech. Ick! My dad's was steel so WTF? I contacted Crosman back then and got a parts diagram, ordered up a new steel breech and a few other goodies. All for around $15 iirc. Made black walnut stocks and pump arm for it in shop class. Today I kind of wish I still had that old poofter. I had no idea there was an aftermarket for it.
This one looks awesome. I just can't see how to cock it.

It's got a bolt, unless I'm misunderstanding you?

That's for loading the pistol. You pump it up then there's a knob at the rear where this stock is attached that you would pull back. This would cock the spring against a sear in the trigger. The bolt above only serves to load the barrel, like a bolt action rifle.

Now I'm confused. Every 13xx model I've had uses that bolt for loading and cocking the hammer?

Older models of the 1377 (presumably the one you had back when) used a separate knob at the back to cock the hammer like you describe. Any 1377’s produced in the last 25 or so years use a more standard bolt action where the bolt also cocks the hammer spring.

That makes sense. Sorry for being so dense!

Wow, I didn't know they changed that design. Thanks for the info.
My pistol didn't use the bolt action per se, it had a cover that rotated left and up, then slid to the rear. Drop in a pellet, slide the cover forward and rotate to the right closed and sealed the barrel. I made the mistake of assuming the bolt was just a fancier design of the old cover, I didn't know it actually cocked the hammer.
