Emailed crosman nz in searching for a 1322. Got this as a reply and thought Id put it up for genral info and a crossman contact for those interested. Hi Carey. 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 |

Yes, they took over Crosman as part of a number of brands. It 'shouldnt' change Crosmans stock holding and availability here, and the pistols have been in regular limited supply. Ive text Youngs as he may well have one still in stock. There are issues getting permits, however the crosmans have been coming in because they dont replicate anything real. ------------- https://www.instagram.com/js_airguns/" rel="nofollow - J S Airguns Air Arms TX200('s) Theoben Sirocco HW77 FWB 300s Webley Patriot One or two others...

"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. ------------- https://www.instagram.com/js_airguns/" rel="nofollow - J S Airguns Air Arms TX200('s) Theoben Sirocco HW77 FWB 300s Webley Patriot One or two others...

this whole import ban on certain types of airguns all comes down to what the crosman agent said,tho all these airguns are legal to own thenz police simply wont issue import permits because they dont like the look of these airguns,what a load of BS that is,but thats the reason they wont issue permits. cheers mike

Yes, theres nothing wrong with owning them so therefore 'should' be available on the market. If not generally in stock then available by pre-order at least - indent orders of pistols allocated to people who have commited to buy so there is no free stock in stores. Or it should be like airsoft - stock is available in stores but you have to be a member of an airsoft club to buy. OR they should just be allowed to be available in stores with the normal age restrictions, but i dont see that happening anytime soon. ------------- https://www.instagram.com/js_airguns/" rel="nofollow - J S Airguns Air Arms TX200('s) Theoben Sirocco HW77 FWB 300s Webley Patriot One or two others...

The law is the law. If they are allowed to be imported then the cops shouldnt be able to to refuse or make it difficultto import to registered shops. 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. |

Yeah thats the beauty of the crosmans as they are so cheap in USA there are a lot of mods available. If you want co2, theres also the 2250b rifle. same mods available, but no pumping.. you can get pistol grips for them and easily suppressed. ------------- https://www.instagram.com/js_airguns/" rel="nofollow - J S Airguns Air Arms TX200('s) Theoben Sirocco HW77 FWB 300s Webley Patriot One or two others...

Ive had a bit of look at the 2250. Being co2 im wary its a continual expence, all though the screw in adaptor to give it refillable tank caught my interest. Im not actually after a pistol, i dought i could shoot one well enough with trigger finger missing. More after something I can throw in a backpack. Pistol with detachable stock fits that nicely. |

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, hope this helps. cheers mike

Yep its got me thinking a multipump model is way more suited to what I need. The self sufficient nature of the gun Is something that appeals to me. It can be modified enough that it should give enough fpe to take a rabbit at close range, but be primaraly a bird gun. Cheers that did help. |

| I hope they get some more multipump 362 in. I want one in .22 as they are putting out around 750-800fps and apparently very accurate |

They look like a good little pumper - good power for birds from 4 pumps plus ability to add steel breech etc. there are more coming, word is ready to ship but no ships coming here at the moment! Eta end October - you can likely put your name down to reserve one for when the arrive ------------- https://www.instagram.com/js_airguns/" rel="nofollow - J S Airguns Air Arms TX200('s) Theoben Sirocco HW77 FWB 300s Webley Patriot One or two others...

| Thanks for that, I might have too. I have a close friend on mine who imports dart guns for vets and farmers. He sells a pump version which is a modified 362 but with a .50cal smoothbore barrel for the darts. I've wondered about getting one and making .50cal slugs to fire through it. |

Just stay young at heart! I’m not much of hunter - don’t get much opportunity. But it would have to be a rifle for me - to still being ok at 10 yards with a pistol is pretty good Mike! Pistols are good fun to help keep your skills up though ------------- https://www.instagram.com/js_airguns/" rel="nofollow - J S Airguns Air Arms TX200('s) Theoben Sirocco HW77 FWB 300s Webley Patriot One or two others...
