I dont hink its possible to buy a gun, and the optics for under 90 dollars. Ok, GOOD optics that is.
Tom's post (http://www.network54.com/Forum/275684/m ... %26quot%3B) makes sense, but I have over 90 in parts (that are not airgun parts nor specifically airgun parts, and Ive not even added a scope

Spend as much as you feel like, but here's my first take on some 1377 build off rules:
No trade secrets. ALL particpates must explain the whys and hows of what they built. If your not willing to share the particulars, dont enter.
Gun powered by the pump. No after market pump or piston parts allowed. All custom work by the contestant, or under contestant's direction.
Must be a 1377 or variant (PC77, 2289 etc) pump tube. Custom cut tubes allowed if they are dimnesionally indentical to the crosman product. Use of unobtanium discouraged
must use a crosman 22xx/13xx pistol grip frame. Mods to the frame allowable but must retain mounting points, and trigger pivot point
Must retain either the factory sear or factory trigger blade
Factory safety must work
Single shot breach only. After market breeches allowed, with this exception: if the vendor sells a "top end kit" you may only use one part of that kit. (Not to pick on Crosmods, but they come to mind, if you get a Crosmods breech, you cannot use their shrouding systems or components. If you use a crosman steel breech you can use the crosmods shrouding parts)
Guns converted to carbines must use either the Crosman 1399 (is that the correct p/n?) stock, or a one the contestant built. No purchased stocks (afreomentioend excepted). Steve Corcocran, Mike Chavka and Paul Bishop may enter this, but must carve the stock with the non-dominant hand only or use dull tooling.
So thats ruff stab off the top of my uncaffeinated head. Discuss, debate.
