^good starting point... also, checkout MellonAir and ACcustoms as they specialize in 13xx parts.

I would recommend compressing or replacing the trigger spring. Learned that one the hard way. My 1377 went unused due to horrific trigger pull, couldn't hit ANYTHING, had horizontal stringing on paper targets. I replaced my spring with a lighter one with a guide, from TKO I believe.
Now it's deadly accurate, 6 squirrels and a ptarmigan would testify to that. But I killed and ate them, LULZ

I am a newbie on this forum and have not progressed to power mods yet, but have done several easy bling/accuracy mods. I can share some of the vendors I have used or are highly recommended. There may be many more, but I am trying to point you in a direction where you can start researching  now.

First, visist Airgunartisans (http://airgunartisans.com/index.htm) to view galleries of modified air pistol/rifles. Find a few that 'blow air up  your skirt' so you have a specific look you may be trying to achieve.

1. Grips - Feels better in the hand, to most, and can certainly help with accuracy

Joshua A (forum member) - Check posting here in the Classifieds and also in th eYellow Forum. I had no clue what 'yellow' meant, at first, but here is the link - http://www.network54.com/Forum/79574/

2. Barrels - longer barrels can increase power and accuracy

Meollonair - http://mellonair.myfreesites.net/

3. Muzzle Breaks/Air Strippers - look nice and can reduce noise from a shot

TKO - http://www.tko22.com/

Mountain Air - http://www.mountainaircustomairguns.com/index.htm

Mellonair - http://www.mountainaircustomairguns.com/index.htm

4. Breeches (.177 & .22) - May increase accuracy, but are a joy to use. Without a steel breech, you are limited to the types of sighting devices you may want to try.

5. Trigger - You can do some DIY stuff to make the original trigger work more smoothly. Do some searches on this.

A good starting point is http://www.network54.com/Realm/CFTech/BioTrgTun.htm. Pretty much, you just need to polish up all the articulating points on the trigger assembly to reduce friction. Then, you would experiment with compressing the stock trigger spring until you find a 'break point' for the shot that you like.
