Crosman Drifter Kit Reviews

I have the 22 caliber and like to make a .177 caliber .

I would make the stock a little longer for adults

N/A

It is compact and delivers fairly good accuracy. Power output is decent for a 22 caliber carbine.

I would like to have the steel breach. Add some power. Little more attention to fit and finish. Offer a shorter stock for youth shooters. Add a threaded barrel nut for suppressor. A fatter pump handle would be nice.

My gun was incredibly pellet sensitive. My crown had a bur that affected accuracy. Once I figured it out and polished it out the gun was still pellet selective. Finally figured out it liked 14 grain RWS Meisterkugeln wadcutters. These shot about 1/2" at 10 yards with a red dot. The worst grouping was Crosman 14.3 HP which was 1 3/4" at 10 yards. I believe these Crosman airguns are luck of the draw. I have a 1322 and a 1377 that will stack pellets in one hole. I have another 1377 that won't. Maybe this Drifter will get better with more rounds through it. It's still hard to beat for just over a hundred bucks.

Can be used as pistol or as a rifle.

Metal breech

Good power at a good price

This is a great light-weight .22 carbine. Easy to pump and the included carry bag make this convenient to transport. A lot of mods and parts available.

Better sights and a bit more power. A better trigger and wider trigger blade would be nice. PROD 2-stage trigger would be awesome. I don't know if my issue with the LPA rear sight is a fluke or the norm ( I paid PA for the steel breech & LPA rear sight upgrade - $95), but my Drifter is shooting low/I cant raise the rear sight high enough to correct point-of-impact. Also, I intend to add a moderator, so the factory front sight has to go. With that said, I ended up designing and 3D printing a taller front sight as well as a factory-like rear sight using the plastic breech rear sight blade and screws.

If you are looking at this airgun, you likely have two routes you will go: 1) keep it stock or close to stock with just a few upgrades (get the metal breech), or 2) spend more than this kit costs on mods and upgrades. I went down the mod rabbit-hole and ended up spending a lot for modest gains in FPS/FPE... But I knew this going in; I already have four PCP airguns that are great. I bought this for target shooting on camping trips without having to bring a tank for refills.
If you are buying the steel breech, the LPA rear sight may not work - I paid good money for a sight that does not work on the out-of-the-box Drifter, forcing me to spend more time and money to be able to get POI to match POA.

Low price air guns that are fun to shoot and make it your own if you like modding.I added breech and scope.Probably want do anything else other than maybe bushing pump arm and solid pin.Oh I have longer pellet probe ordered.Crosman barrels can be finicky so I brushed bore and lube pellets and seemed to help lot on accuracy.Some air rifles take little while to settle in,

I know these are low price air rifles,but it would be nice maybe if crosman would offer more solid pump arm assembly.I think people would pay the extra.

If you find accuracy to be little disappointing,trying lubing pellets and maybe pulling oil patches after you have cleaned barrel.If you play with these guns long enough they are capable of quarter size groups 10 to 15 yards with different brands of pellets.

Very happy with the weapon.

Recommend make the pistol grips match the rest of the of the weapon.

Should make it clear when buy the steel breach must buy the maintenance plan. The plan instals the steel breach.

Easy to operate, accurate, fun to shoot!

The shoulder stock, it snaps on easily but feel loose. A tighter shoulder stock would be better.

Modular

Everything. That's the point!

Buy one

Everything!!! I would gladly pay more if a version was sold tricked out with at least steel breech and a good rear peep sight of metal of course. These guns are great, Crosman's pump guns have been known for they're longevity for many years. My 1377 is 18 years old and still shoots like it was new. The 2640 is a blast to shoot around with also. Cannot beat the value these guns offer.

Offer an other model all tricked out, all who like these guns would gladly pay the higher price.

If you don't own one you are missing out on loads of fun!

This is a great starter platform to build a better rifle. Being a pump you don't have to worry about CO2 or having a compressor like you do with a PCP. This is a great sunny day plinking gun or close quarters rat rifle in the horse barn.

I wish Crosman would put a steel breech on these from the factory. Mine came and someone at Crossman must have fallen asleep on the torque wrench trigger and ran the breech bolt completely THROUGH the plastic breech! Luckily they didn't strip the receiver. I didn't reall care because I was upgrading to a steel breech immediately. I guess that brings me to Quality Control if I was going to be using this gun as is out of the box it would have gone back to Pyramid.

If you want a mountain optic for do anything's besides shoot in cans, do yourself a favor and order the steel breech kit when you order this gun. It's well worth the money just consider it a cost of ownership. It is a cool gun and seems to be fairly accurate I have actually enjoyed shooting it several times. Also don't forget to order pellgun oil with this or you'll be making a trip out to try to locate it, lol.

Breaks down to fit into included shoulder bag. Can be shot as a rifle or a pistol. Enough power for pest control. Perfect configuration for survival situation. Includes pellets to get you started shooting right away. Light weight compared to break barrel rifles. Included pouch to hold pellets gun oil or other small items. Is easily upgraded with all the same mods as the 1322.

Steel breech

If your looking for a good survival air gun don't overlook this one.

Light, appearance, accurate

Should come with steel breech, charge a little more for gun $10 not $45 for breech. Provide better quality rear sight.

Pumps a little easier after you break it in.
Overall a fun gun to have once you address the minor issues. Love the design.

Love this little guy I totally modded mine fully but stock is still extremely nice and accurate pushing 400+fps stock is great but 180$ worth of mods and Im pushing 750+fps with 15gr pellets but it was extremely easy to install all the mods and pyramid air offers the installation of the steel breach which I highly recommend they know what theyre doing and it allows you to immediately add your favorite scope buy this air gun it wont Disappoint you in .22 the gto 11gr and the 14gr meisterkugeln are the best

Ditch the carrying case and throw in a free crosman hat

This crosman drifter is the bzzneezz pyramid air will ship it perfectly to you and if there is a problem they will fix it they always have for me there is a special place for a pellet gun like this and thats In your possession and it will become your obsession I promise this gun would be awesome for any man women or child who uses it properly

I have 2 of them I drilled the holes out for the stock so I used the screws for the pistol grips and its super solid and the stock doesnt rock back and forth I went and got a 32 inch gun case for it and it fits wonderful the peep sight is what I use and it has not disappointed me yet

Make the stock so you could screw it to the pistol and leave it as a carbine if you wanted. Also it should come with the steel breach

If the shoulder stock get to wobbly the pin you push to separate it from the stock fold a small piece from a match book cover between the pin and the stock and it stiffens it right up also that pin will dig in to your hand if you hold on to the grip part of the gun while pumping also get some pell gun oil and lube it up before use ( both of mine came dry ) and when Im done I store it with 2 pumps of air in the gun I was told its good fit the seals , I do it but thats me you be the judge

Even with issues listed shoot group is easy to maintain.

Front sight alignment is cantered off about 10 degrees to right. Is it possible to have locking table when front sight is placed on? Also shoulder adapter is loose when attached to air rifle.

Everything especially the vast amount of mods for this thing It shoots great and loves lighter water cutters we’ll see what it likes after I upgrade all the internals

Bigger bolt handle

This pistol is awesome Ive only shot it at 25 yards but straight out of the box is awesome shooting less than 1 inch groups Ive already upgraded to the steel breach and have every other mod possible ordered and on the way from eBay try looking up needful things 2021 he has the best mods but I am about to upgrade the barrel to a 24 inch and everything internally will be swapped out as well but pyramid air ship this perfectly and did not miss a thing from my order it was delivered on time and is in perfect working order I just wish pyramid air offered more mods for this gun it is tricky ordering it off eBay but all around a five-star experience through pyramid or good job

Fantastic .22 version of my .177; I opted for the steel breech conversion; but I feel like I'd be happier with stock peep sights.

Front sight can easily be bumped off-center; be careful or use glue. Pumping arm is slightly less "bulky/substantial " as my .177; but does the trick. Satisfied with thus pistol/carbine; especially at the price

Great Lil pumper for hunting or plinking of course we all have our own opinion.. get one and see for yaself

Not an airgun expert so no opinion here

It's a great Lil gun but it wanna scope it ya gotta get the metal breech kit.

The carbon fiber look is nice.

Put a fiber optic rear sight on it.

Lots of arm work pumping..

I just love the awsome carry case it comes with...all the pockets on inside too for extra tins of pellets. Easy for me to wrap around my shouler for back carry too...it is awsome. Convenient quick easy to take out in backyard for fun..plinking...Thanks Pyramid Air.

Wouldn't change anything about the Driftet pump..

Nice lightwieght for easy carrying too...adjustable carrystrap..tough high quality carry case...mine arrived in just 5 working days with my mastercard bank card...amazing. You will be very satisfied.
