I've been wanting some of those cool wooden grips and pumper that I've seen floating around the internet that fit the Crosman 1377. Until I do get them, I'm getting rather bored with the ugly brown plastic. A little paint and patience really changed the look of the gun. Everything is stock, except the pvc trigger shoe. I used Krylon Fusion which has never let me down on plastic once cured. Hopefully it'll last with all the pumping going on.   Posted: Sun Jan 25, 2009 12:50 pm AirGunEric Site Admin Joined: 20 Jan 2007 Posts: 6930 Location: "Out There" That's pretty sharp. Good work. Where did you get the PVC trigger shoe? _________________ ` I'd say "I care." But I'd be lying.

I made the trigger shoe from a 1/2" pvc slip coupling. Just cut a ring from the coupling at the desired thickness and cut your shoe from the ring. I notched the back out with a dremel and used JB weld to secure it. Of course a lot of sanding was involved to get the right 'feel'. _________________ Beeman RS2 .22 Crosman 2240 .22 Crosman 1377c .177 Crosman T4 .177 Marksman 0035, 10000+ rds, shoots very well .177 wish List - Diana RWS 350 Feuerkraft Pro Compact .22   Posted: Sun Jan 25, 2009 1:27 pm yourdaddyjoe Supporting Member Joined: 26 May 2008 Posts: 4027 Location: Tatorville, USA I have been thinking about making a batch of shoes out of aluminum. But finding the right set screws has been holding me back. They do not carry them at the local hardware store. I just have not taken the time to check Fastenel's site... I put one on my 2250 that was made for a sharidan paint ball gun... the grove had to be modified to fit... Still looks nice... it is nickel plated brass.. _________________ Say "NO" to BB Gun Wars...

Well Done!

Can the PVC coupling be bought at most any hardware store? _________________ "The Death of One Man is a Tragedy, The Death of Millions is a Statistic" Stalin   Posted: Mon Jan 26, 2009 7:53 am Legendpilot Member Joined: 26 Nov 2007 Posts: 67 Location: Baltimore, Maryland Thanks everyone! woodhippy wrote: Can the PVC coupling be bought at most any hardware store? Yep, you should be able to find them pretty easily. _________________ Beeman RS2 .22 Crosman 2240 .22 Crosman 1377c .177 Crosman T4 .177 Marksman 0035, 10000+ rds, shoots very well .177 wish List - Diana RWS 350 Feuerkraft Pro Compact .22   Posted: Mon Jan 26, 2009 9:10 am broommaster2000 Moderator Joined: 10 Mar 2007 Posts: 5714 Location: City of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands Not my kind of color, but I like the idea. Anything looks better then the stock grips. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Mon Jan 26, 2009 3:21 pm Slavia Moderator Joined: 31 Mar 2008 Posts: 4382 Location: Waseca, Minnesota, USA Quote: I have been thinking about making a batch of shoes out of aluminum.

It looks like you did a little whittling down on the very tip of the original trigger blade. _________________ ¡Listo! ¡Apunte! ¡Fuego! 1377 paint job     Air Gun Home Forum Index » Picture Gallery You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum All times are GMT - 5 Hours   Page 1 of 1   All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First  Select a forum Main Forums----------------AirGunHome Q&AGeneral Air Gun Questions and TopicsPicture GalleryTarget Shooting: Casual, Fun and CompetitionHunting, Pest Control, Varminting People/Events/Airgun Issue Discussion----------------Introduce YourselfThe BS TopicClubs/Events/Regional/Political Airgun Issues Maintenance, Modification and Reviews----------------RiflesPistolsAntique, Collector and Novelty AirgunsBB GunsPellets/AmmoOpticsAccessoriesAirgun Smithing Buy, Sell or Trade Forums----------------For SaleWant to Buy   Note: If you are seeing "Please enter your username and password to log in."
