a little dish soap and water will clean the grip of plastic mold i wonder about the rest i might be in the mind to just wipe it down with your favorite metal protector and leave alone, it is honest aging

Here's a "157", part of an old-timer's 
collection I purchased years ago. Sent to Crosman for first rebuild, did it myself next. WM

I shot it several times, with pellets. It shoots good, but I didn't take time to sight it in. It appears that someone has filed the rear sight down beyond it's usefulness so I will replace it.

Here is my 157 with an alternative grip, I was going for a Ted Williams vibe, shame I can't get the vented rib...

Difficult to photograph but the rear sight has been filed down lower than the sliding breech cover in front of it. It is not possible to see the front sight and the rear sight at the same time.
I will try putting a washer under the rear, if the screw is long enough. If not I can easily make another sight that is taller.

150s can be phenomenally accurate-
And powerful enough for effective small-game hunting-

Cool as the Ted Williams ventilated-rib variants are, your PRISTINE 150 is a lovely representation of Crosman 150/157 function and aesthetics, Modski. And I find the one-piece grips MUCH more comfortable and natural feeling than the two-piece 150 grips. Your 157 is beautiful.
