Crosman 1300KT Customized Pellet Gun for Survival

I previously wrote about pellet guns for survival, and recommended the Russian made ‘Ataman M2R Ultra Compact Carbine’ as one of the best pellet guns made. This is certainly true, but the Ataman M2R is somewhat expensive ($1400 American Dollars).  At the lower end of the price scale I mentioned the ‘Crosman P1322 American Classic Multi Pump Pneumatic .22-Caliber Pellet Air Pistol’. The Crosman P1322 is a good gun, but it could use a few upgrades to make it a great gun. Fortunately, the American pellet gun company, Crosman, has a custom shop that will do just that.

Going on-line to the Crosman Custom Shop http://www.crosman.com/custom-shop/ I built my multi-pump survival pellet gun, starting with the Crosman 1300KT .22 caliber (basically the same as the Crosman 1322) as the base. I ordered the following upgrades to the gun:

• 14.6" Lothar Walther Match Barrel (.22 Caliber)
• Long Steel Breech
• Shoulder Stock and Forearm
• Black Muzzle Brake
• 2x Pistol Scope
• Trigger Shoe 

My customized air gun is pictured at the top of this article. And the cost for this gun? $183.95, and for an additional $10.00, I added a lifetime warranty on my new pellet gun.

This customization, takes a good pellet gun and turns it into a great survival pellet gun.  The longer barrel gives additional velocity to the pellets, and the addition of a pistol scope improves accuracy for hunting small game (i.e. hare, rabbit, and squirrel). So, if you are thinking about adding a pellet gun to your survival gear, but don’t want to spend $1400 for an Ataman M2R Ultra Compact Carbine; consider designing your own custom pellet gun with the Crosman Custom Shop.
