I'm looking to fully mod this rifle so any suggestions are more than welcome. So far I've put a 2" copper tube in behind the spring and noticed much more damage on some plywood going through the whole thing almost when compared to it's stock form.   Posted: Tue Aug 05, 2014 8:19 pm AirGunEric Site Admin Joined: 20 Jan 2007 Posts: 6930 Location: "Out There" Define what you mean by "kit". If you have an Optimus 1000- adding anything will gain you nothing- just go with a trigger upgrade (i.e. GTX II)- the platform is limited by the tube size- it can only move so much air. _________________ ` I'd say "I care."

Was looking at the other Crosman Optimus 1000 & 1200 kits they sell online (Spring, Piston, spring guide).   Posted: Thu Aug 07, 2014 11:46 pm AirGunEric Site Admin Joined: 20 Jan 2007 Posts: 6930 Location: "Out There" Yes, such a kit for an Optimus 1000 would fit the detuned model, but then you would have a "firearm" under Canadian law for which you would need a license. You might want to consider a trigger upgrade (GTX II). _________________ ` I'd say "I care." But I'd be lying.

Is there any other mods I can do to this rifle, such as getting a .22 barrel for it?   Posted: Sun Sep 07, 2014 3:21 pm AirGunEric Site Admin Joined: 20 Jan 2007 Posts: 6930 Location: "Out There" Not easily- these rifles are made in China and the factory has changed the barrel block setup on/off- so it becomes a game of "guess which version you have" and you may end having to order multiple barrels until you get the correct-fitting unit- I would suggest not attempting to change the caliber unless you have some machining skills. _________________ ` I'd say "I care."

If you want to order barrels randomly and hope one that fits shows up sooner or later, that is your choice. The Chinese factory does nothing with serial numbers but determine what approximate timeframe a unit was built, nothing else. _________________ ` I'd say "I care." But I'd be lying.
