We only just recently took over the Crosman agency but are still working closely with the previous distributor. I will enquire as to weather we have any of these on back order with Crosman. It has become difficult to bring in anything air pistol related as licensing and permitting for them is a nightmare under the new arms act. Fingers crossed this will change under a new govt. I will get back to you when I know more. Kind regards Kieran Harris Sales & Support Specialist PO Box 25849, St Heliers, Auckland 1740, New Zealand Ph: +64 9 574 6120 www.jpbfurley.co.nz www.shootinghq.co.nz

"Will be in next shipment, maybe end of October." if you put your name down for one he should contact you when back in stock.

Sure keep track of whats coming into country. And definitely not if,as j-s said they dont look like any powder burner. Ive found a couple of places on web with 1322 but say its restricted in this country.( Thats with shoulder stock) The great irony to me is, after some one sujested the 1322 I started research on the web and the big appeal is how much customisation of parts is availible. The base gun is nothing compared to what it can be turned into legally.

having a constant supply of disposible co2 can be a problem for some,its not exactly cheap anymore either,the solution can be to convert to some form of bulk fill system,but that can have its issues to particularly with 2240 type pistols but that depends allso on how you use the gun,and wether you want keep a pistol compact and light weight,i hate the large co2 bottles some fit on many co2 guns,the larger the bottle the heavier and badly balanced the gun gets evan on rifles witch to me kind of defeats the purpose you liked gun in first place,personaly tho a pcp man thru and thru i have real soft spot for co2 2240/2250 pistols and carbines,just like the things,my personal solution is to use the same co2 tube they come with convert valve and cylander to be bulk fillable,this keeps gun bout same as factory but gives the advantage of cheaper bulk fills,you need to fit orings to front of valve remove the penertrating pin fit oring to front plug and fit a fill valve to it,you still get 12 plus grams co2 without gas cylander so shot counts remain same,and gun still loks balances and handles like factory gun,if you modify valve replace plastic beech etc fit barrel at lest 12in long its possible to get 11/12fpe with 14.3 gr pellets which is enuf for effective small game hunting in a co2 pistol,you can use longer barrels for carbines and increase fpe up a bit more,and still have a nice well balanced pistol or carbine that looks same as factory gun,its realitivly easy to convert to using hpa which will if done right significantl further increase fpe level but at a reduced shot count depending on the hpa capacity,hpa conversions can be done two ways buy a hipac hpa unit follow instructions properly and you have very easily converted a co2 gun to a pcp.second option is to make whole new tube and hpa cylander,which is quite bit of work evan if you know what you are doing,word of warning needed here this is legal to do to a co2 pistol but if done to a carbine that comes under the designation of a pcp rifle which requires you have a firearms licence,the problem with fitting large capacty co2 bottles to these guns is that co2 isnt light like hpa so the bigger the co2 bottle the more the gun weighs which kind of defeats the purpose of mofifying a nice lightweight gun to me,just to get a much higher shoot count. i havnt purchased 12gr co2 cartridges for years as have large stock pill bought years ago when they were cheap i allso have large supply bulk co2 in the form of co2 fire extingishers,but you should get approx 16 full power shots at approx 11fpe from one 12 gr co2 cartridge,
