Steel breech on Crosman 1377, can you mount factory sights?

I don't know about the factory 1377 sight but, D&L Airgun carries a rear sight for the Crosman steel breech. KD

THAT's who it was, I couldn't find the sight again so I ended up ordering the Crosman breech with the upgraded piston kit and seal kit for spares. I think the Crosman has a dovetail for the LPA sight.
I don't want to spend another $50 on a sight so I will see if I can mill it or rig up a simple sight myself. The gun cost me $80, I just spent over $115 on the upgrades and am about to order a set of RB Grips in Cocobolo for another $80 or so.
Yes you can get more pressure as well as less pumps for same pressure.
The original valve on canadian versions has a "pressure relief" built in. The flat top valve upgrade does not.

who did you order from? i just got my order from scopes and ammo and i ordered saturday
amazing place it is. then again it's about 2 hours away. i will post some pictures of the new gun with it's steel breech. makes it feel really nice so far.
nice
EDIT: WOW! in the testing phase for the piston length and at 6 pumps i can pretty much flatten a standard wad cutter.

Looks like it just has the dovetail for the LPA. Is it solid at the back or drilled through?
Nice looking gun, I can post pics when I get mine all together, should have some sweet grips in a few weeks.
I chrony'd mine as is and get an average of 410 FPS with 10 pumps and 7.5gr "hunting" pellets. I'll chrony it once the mods are complete.
PS, where'd you get the brass trigger?

there is a hole drilled in the back since the bolt ships in 2 pieces. you screw on the bolt handle once the bolt is in. then there is a little domes cap that you put in the hole and put the screw through.
the brass trigger came with mine from the factory, the old bolt was as well. i was going to try and reuse it, but i couldn't get it apart. actually i never tried that much as i didn't want to scratch it up trying to unscrew it.

how many pumps? i can do about 9 and it will unload all the air. more then 9 and it holds some.
there are 2 ways to go about it from what i've read and have been told. make the hammer spring stronger or make the valve spring weaker. if you make the hammer spring harder it's also harder to ####. but with the weaker valve spring, you need to #### the hammer first as the hammer holds open the valve.
Here is my simple rear sight made from the elevation insert of the factory sight. Not even close to fancy or very adjustable, but I hope it does the job. I should shoot it and chrony it later today.
I just did this to my Steel breeched 2240.It works like a charm.You are very clever to figure that sight mod out..Wish I knew this trick years ago..Would have saved me the hassle of using those terrible red dot sights..Red dots look really ugly on these guns as well..Thanks a million..
Guys i found this steel breech at D&L but can someone walk me through this . What is a piston kit , where do i get that ? Spawn-Inc mentioned making the hammer spring stronger or the valve spring weaker . Is that something i'll have to do , and if i do , how ? Below is my HW-45 that i changed the barrel from .22 to .20 to get a little flatter trajectory , and i did . RB grips and a Leupold/Gilmore red dot . Maccari spring tar to tame it and that works also . Tons of enemy rabbits and partride have paid the price . Below that is an old 2240 that is long gone . The pic was taken before i bottomlined it with a 3.5 ounce co2 tank out the back of the grip . The muzzle brake is fake . That was with an old Rino breech . Good gun when it was shooting but i got fed up trying to stop it from leaking .
