Junkin' 760-D Pumpmaster

They are surprisingly accurate! I did this target @ 10yds with H&N sniper light .177cal, 7.5gr before​ I tore it down for restoration;

​ And JSB Exact Express, 7.87gr;

And Beeman silver bear, 7.1gr;

Well, mac1 had to refund pre-payments folks made for his manual-cocking 760 seal/rebuild kits. He's having problems with the 90 durometer seal supplier. So I searched Amazon and found this rebuild kit for $13.99. Comes with .PDF exploded diagram for the 760-B, etc. After finishing the 760v1 resto I'm currently working on, I'll be finishing this 760-D v8. Video will be coming in another week or so.

I'm finishing cleaning, polishing, bluing, reassembling small parts and all now. Once I find an ounce or two of black tempera paint for the gran/checkering fill, I can put it together. Got a Simmons 4x32 scope for it, since I'm using the one that was on it on my 760v1. So maybe next week it'll be done?

Oh hey, Hynzie,...Search Crosman air rifles on EBay. They have some receivers with parts, and some other parts for bid/sale now. Best do it today or tomorrow.

After some extra work trying rebuild parts, here's the final episode of the 760-D Pumpmaster resto on Airgun Fan!

As soon as the Caldwell upgrade/repair parts get here any time now, I'll continue on with the final part of this video series. I'll be testing the same 3 pellets through this restomodded 760-D Pumpmaster. Then revisit the Striker 1000x to 95 stock conversion.

And here, finally is the final installment of the 760 chrono test videos on Airgun Fan! I experienced lots of data loss and equipment failures, but here's what's left for you to ponder; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=En_3PpIcpCI&feature=youtu.be

After finishing the chrono test series on Airgun Fan, I once again found myself looking at the little 760-D Pumpmaster. Still frustrated with myself for clear coating the stock before sanding the excess gloss black over wash off it first. So I unscrewed the butt stock and got out a bit of 800-grit emery paper. Then cleaned up the checkering with a bit of Scotchbrite green pad. Just sanding the high spots enough to let the medium brown plastic show through. This allowed a sharper contrast with the molded-in grain details by Crosman, now filled in gloss black. I then wiped it down good and recoated it with True oil. After sitting a day or so, here then, are the mo0re proper results of my over wash process;





Gotta do the forestock yet, but lightly on it. Here's a before shot for comparison;
