Interesting. Is it a springer, a pumper or a co2? How does it shoot at 10m? ------------- Walk quietly, but carry a big stick. |

| Its a springer it shoots minute of possum at 10m but it wont kill them. The breach seal craps out on them and you cant get them in nz so you have to super glue a couple of o rings together. Bought it brand new from ron probably about 25 years ago. Its definatley no target pistol |

Sturdy looking pistol. Like the design. If its bsa, being they are Gamo owned now Vaughn sports in upper hutt are the Gamo distributors and may have an equivalent part or be able to get it in . Bet it smacks small birds over |

Chuck a stock and scope on it. I did with 1322 it's an awesome bird gun. Lite you could carry it all day one handed. Shoulders well. I put a longer barrel on it, but have no dought it would have been fine a couple inches shorter. Most of my tree shooting is <20m but I've to streached it out quite a bit further than that. |

Try Ron or magnum sport in new plymouth. I got both 1322 and 362 from magnum. He had both in stock. Ron supplied longer barrel and stock. |

I was in Magnum sports 2 weeks ago and they had a 1322. I have one and a 1377. Actually very good guns in my opinion. There is a crowd in Aus called custom seals that might have seals for them.. customairseals.com |

Do a swap for 1322 with js. If ya not using it's just a paper weight. Assuming your not a collector. 🤔 |
