    Crosman 2289

    Shot the Crosman 2289 just to do something different from the PCP's and springer's. Only mods to gun are steel breech, WGRS-54 receiver sight and taller front sight.

    Crosman trigger/sear mods

    Anyone done some Crosman 150 trigger/sear mods? Maybe used some of the Crosman 2240 mods on the 150? Be willing to bet that Ron has done mods on the 150.

    Crosman 112

    Sometimes the air gun gods look after you. Bid on a really cheap Crosman 112 with free shipping. Already had a 112 and did not need another but couldn't help myself so I bid on it thinking there was no way I'd win. Won by $0.03. Came today and it holds CO2, can't hear any leak, fired it 30...

    Strange velocity bulk fill QB78

    Shooting my QB78 today on bulk fill of .9 ounces (25 gram) fill and velocity was only running 370 fps to 400 fps when it should have been about 564fps.. Degassed gun and installed only one full 12 gram CO2 cartridge and one empty cartridge and velocity was at 564 fps. Can’t see anything to cause...

    Long gas tube for Crosman 180

    Shooting the Crosman 180 this morning and even though I get a lot of shots on bulk fill, I thought why not put a long gas tube on the gun? Besides maybe one of the Sears guns, what long co2 tubes can be put on the Crosman 180?

    Tuning 150 fps velocity loss in Tx200

    I asked this question over on GTA but wanted to ask here in case someone here has seen this problem before. Tx200 mystery losing 150+ fps velocity. My TX was averaging 648 fps with H&N FTT 14.66 grain 5.53 head pellets. Decided to do a Tune-in-a-tube. After the tune, velocity was 500 fps. ...

    Omega Super Charger flow switch

    The water flow switch in my Omega super charger is leaking. Has anyone found a replacement for the water flow switch? Tried to contact Todd, but not able to contact him yet. Has anyone just bypassed the switch and have the compressor run? I know I would have to pay very close attention to make...

    Crosman Bulk Fill Guns Not All Brass

    I thought all the Crosman 1xx bulk fill guns had brass barrels and CO2 tubes. Imagine my surprise this morning while cleaning up my recently purchased Crosman 116 with denatured alcohol and all the paint on the barrel, receiver and tube started wrinkling up and pealing off. Turns out that the...

    Bought Crosman 116 very cheap

    Already had Crosman 116, but this new to me one showed up on e-bay too low priced to believe so I bid on it not expecting to ever win. Got it for $35 plus shipping. Of course it needed resealing but I had all the seals on hand. Didn't need another 116, but this one is better than the one I...

    Won a Crosman 116

    That will teach me to bid on a gun I really don't need. Bid low on a Crosman 116 just because it was priced so low. Did't expect I'd win it, but be darned if I didn't. Heck, I already have a Crosman 116, 115 and a 112. Oh well, it will most likely require resealing so it will give me something...

    Fun Bell Type Targets

    Here are a couple of bell type targets I use. The target on the left has an aluminum face so the holes are surrounded by steel washers. Hole sizes are 1" ,3/4" ,5/8",1/2" and 3/8". Used from 25 yards out to 50 yards. Pretty hard on the smaller holes at 50 yards. The target on the right has...

    Pyramydair catalog #20

    What do you think of the new Pyramydair catalog #20? I hated it when they changed several catalogs ago and quit listing the pellets in the rear of the catalog but that was taken care of with their folding pellet flyer. Now in #20 there are no specifications shown on the listing of the guns...

    Pellet penetration

    The house next door we own but is scheduled to be torn down. My Bell target sits on a stool next to the outside wall 20 yards from my portable shooting bench. I was was shooting my .25 Marauder with JSB 25.39 grain pellets at 863 fps at the bell. A spider decided to walk up the wall of the...

    Crosman 180 Receiver Sight

    Needed a receiver sight for my new to me Crosman 180, so I created one. Piece of Aluminum bar, Williams WGRS-54 sight and way too much time on the lathe, mill and drill press. But it works.

    won Crosman 180

    Won the 180 on eBay. Received it today. Metal work is in excellent condition, wood finish has a few places where finish flaked off, but no major dents. Seller had said the gun shot but leaked down in about an hour. I figured the leak was probably the co@ cap since the o-ring looks a little...

    QB78 safety

    Been playing around with the QB78, changing from long tube to the older short tube without the bleed hole, thanks Ron. Got tired of having to remove the safety each time I wanted into the QB. Well, put the safety somewhere safe so it could not get lost. Damn old age, now I can’t remember where I...

    Receiver sight for Crosman 180 2nd Variant

    Receiver sights for the 180 are as hard to find as a needle in a haystack. I have an idea of a method to adapt an existing receiver sight to the 180 2nd variant, but until the one I have coming I need a dimension. I need the outside diameter of the barrel/receiver at the rear where the Breech...

    QB78 vs the Crosman 160

    QB78 vs. Crosman 160 Seeing all the ads for the QB78 in .177 I thought I’d just buy one and play with it and maybe play with some of the mods for the QB78. Ordered a .177 for $59.95, it was about $10 cheaper than the .22s. When it was delivered, lo and behold, it turned out to be a .22. ...

    E-bay prices are ridiculous

    Seems many of the people on e-bay are going crazy pricing their airguns. I like the vintage Crosman's, but it is getting to the point that I just stop looking on e-bay. On e-bay,I've bought bulk filled pistols, the 114 rifle, a 160, 2 of the 150's, S&W 78G and 79G, etc but can never manage to...
