Nice link, I'm planning on machining everything myself though.
Any particular reason you picked the 1322 over the 1377?... Not that its hard to change between them.
I went for 0.22" simply because there is more power potential with the larger caliber, there's only so many ft-lbs you can squeeze out of a 0.177" airgun.
The 177s seem to perform better with the stock setup, but that's because they use the same parts for both, so obviously the smaller pellet won't be quite as badly restricted.
Certainly you have to mod it less to get higher velocities from 0.177" but again it's ft-lbs I'm after
I only like .22 pellets in the higher end guns. The 1322 can be nodded to some pretty crazy levels tho. How far are you planning to take this one?
As far as it will go, what I have in mind doesn't resemble any existing mod I've seen, we'll see if it pays off. I'm looking for at least 10 ft-lbs. Haven't actually started on it though beyond a few scribbles, my attention is being taking up by more immediate commercial concerns at the moment.
I would have gone for the 2289, the pump forearm is much more comfortable for an adult, and the barrel band is already wide enough to take a longer barrel without modification, and you also get a shoulder stock with quick release hardware. But they are essentially the same gun if you take the stock off and out the pistol grips on, I just like the look of the 2289 better.
I wanted a compact and self-contained pistol, the 1322 seemed to fit the bill.
Came across this interesting pdf, very small gains with minor polishing -

I know, I know, it's how life has always been here, but this is completely new to me!
