I just acquired this Crosman 1322 from a longtime friend of mine, and needless to say I am impressed. Pellets are dirt cheap, deliver decent knockdown power against small vermin, and more importantly, won't bother the neighbors. With some concentration on my part, I can shoot off the caps of 2-liter bottles from 25 yards standing.
Optics are a Kmart All-Pro 4 x 15 scope that looks fairly old. The light gathering sucks and this scope will be coming off as soon as I replace the 50s Weaver K2.5 on my hunting rifle with a proper Leupold.
The plastic buttstock turns this little pistol into a compact carbine of sorts, rather like a Mauser M712
Schnellfeuer beloved of storm troops and Chinese warlords alike. Using this stock setup, is there a way to add sling swivels to it?
The pump mechanism extended. Any sling attachment cannot obstruct the movement of the pump.
The two holes in the plastic furniture both go all the way through the handguard -- perhaps one could put a sling loop there? The third hole on the left goes through the air cylinder and is the hinge for the pump.
I would like to keep this modification as simple as possible. I'm thinking about using something simple like an M1 Carbine sling. The sling should preferably be mounted on the side (like the M1 Carbine) rather than on the bottom (like the M1 Garand), so the Crosman can rest easily against my back when slung. Looping a sling through the buttstock seems straightforward, but the placement of the front swivel has me stumped.
Any ideas?
