It's not illegal to import an air pistol, spring or pcp, but if it looks like a proper pistol you will need a pretty good reason for them to approve it.
I believe the 13xx and 22xx guns look different enough that the restriction has eased slightly. Before that, the price for one on trademe was high.

I assumed it was just an issue with pcp pistools not being imported. Youngs airguns lists them for sale and when I asked the price it was around $280 I think.

It's because pistol type are apparently not imported into nz anymore.
But yes the 2250 as a carbine is still imported. New ones keep coming up so maybe the 1322 is still available too? |

Yeah I pulled a 13xx seller up trademe, asked in the questions what mods he had done as it nearly 300 dollars more expensive than buying one.
Was not on site a hour later. |

What is this seller on about? "This Might Be Your Last Chance To Own A Brand New Air Pistol On The New Zealand Market, grab one when you can."
Young's are selling them new I believe for $100 less than this guy. There's also a 2250 stock for sale on trademe if anyone is in need of one. I thionk it is around $50.

I had done 2 of those builds. One I sold a couple of years ago, but Have another, basically the same.
Folding stock hinge, adjustable butt, from Aliexpress. Turned up a mounting adapter to fit to gun. Polished trigger and hammer, custom bolt probe, steel breech, carbon fibre tube sleeve over barrel and a carbon fibre silencer. A great plinker, but quite usable for close pest pigeon work. |

This looks like a very cool but more importantly functional build too. Would love to know more about it? I'll search for a thread but if there isn't one maybe there should be...

This is a great thread. Really interesting to see how you've improved the pistol/rifle from the start. I don't have a clue how to do most of the things mentioned or the names for all the internals of an air rifle but would love to learn. It seems a lot of these cheap guns have so much potential to unlock.

So the next pieces arrived from Pauly5 couple days ago.
Decent end pins instead of those spring ones. The stock crosman ones are are a pain to get back in Nicely machined the case harding got a couple scratches, probly in post. Next move will be dremel, bench press for dremel and I'll work the valve angles for smoother flow. Trim some of the internal threads for slight incress in capacity, trim the valve head and thin the stem to allow better air flow around that section if it, this the vale that the hammer hits. By a reemer and open up the port between valve and barrel 25% and hope I don't stuff it up. If works do the 362 as well. Might see about a softer spring for valve as opposed to increasing hammer spring. Thoughts on what is best option or any advise from people who have done this before be appresiated.

Lathes are so handy,and some people are so talented with what they make.
I guess we will be seeing some upgrades soon then?

We are looking at getting a lathe at work for building prototypes and custom work that I do (well it's needed for work 50% of the time and gun parts the rest) hahaha
