It is however probly one of the most easily and accessable guns for modification. Parts being readily available for ehat ever mods you want.
Both of mine are stocked and one has am longer barrel added.
Steel breach added to both. Of all my guns 1322 has taken the most critters, which include rabbit at 8 and possum at a foot. Use it for finishing cats caught in live traps.
It will pop a pigeon out of a tree.
Mine are a basic set up. Haven't even increased the air volume or port size yet. Don't underestimate the 1322.
Oh accurate as over its.usable distance.
Try looking up custom crossman 1322 pictures on the web.

OK got ya!   Would be a handy EDC format for spontaneous kai gathering.
But, for all the mods, why not just a carbine in the same cal?
I put over 2000 rounds through a 1911 and still wouldn't have wanted a person sized target at above 30m.   And that was 9mm.
Where can I buy an Air Arms under lever .22?   Or Wehirauch HW50?
Or, given the expertise on here, what would be the other options I can get in a quality .22?

Yes wiehrach do synthetic stocks on some models.
I have hw97 blackline which is the synthetic stock version of hw97.
My diana which has impressed me way more than the weihrauch also is synthetic.
I'll probly be selling that hw with scope and spare spring and seals couple of tins of ftt 14.66gr which it loves after this scope arrives next week and i get to make sure the diana doesn't just kill it.

Kruza,

Before you sell the HW97 you need to see if the Diana can better the 172m shot you did with the Wiehrach!  Still amazed that you pulled that off - more than once.....

183m was the furthest hit with that rifle
Nah takes to much to set up again.
Diana has proved it can do a hundred and thats as far as i need to shoot.
However if someone wants to beat that distance springer or pcp im keen to kick it off again.
But fir now I'm cutting back to 1 rifle and two 1322. May even strip one of valves out at some stage and dremil it a bit.
Time will tell.

I have the diana the scope is coming.
Its an ar8, magnium springer. I went to by a telly 4.5 to restore and the guy showed me that and i brought it about 550 i think. Brand new still had box. Moderator added i think as i havent found any with mods on the stock model and the barrel is pretty short without it. Not crowned either.
Still shoots fine but no open sights due the alterations, which sux.
