    two new air pistols gifted from a neighbor

    Yeah he's a nice old guy, lives by himself, widowed. My son really likes going over there to fish and target shoot. He's one of those guys that seems to know a lot about...everything. We talk cars and motorcycles and guns and TX history and all kinda stuff. We take the golden retriever puppy...

    two new air pistols gifted from a neighbor

    Man. Moved to TX, and I have a neighbor (retired) who gives me/my 10 year old son an airgun from his long-ago stash pretty much every time we go see him. Are all Texans this friendly? :-) He has given us 2 pistols and a rifle so far. Such a nice great older guy. Pretty much every time we walk...

    Crosman 454 not moving BBs after seal rebuild kit install

    Hiya. First off, yes, you should buy the OEM valve seal and o-ring. Cheap. I checked back and bought mine off ebay. I did not buy from this guy, but it was a kit like this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/175206020786?hash=item28cb17b6b2:g:2WUAAOSwqGJh9TeX I did also buy the trigger spring. I may...

    Crosman 454 not moving BBs after seal rebuild kit install

    They wrote back. Only 5 parts for that gun. Spring is not one of them.

    Crosman 454 not moving BBs after seal rebuild kit install

    Just checked and did not see it listed on their site. I emailed them to see if they happen to have it though.

    Thanks. I'll check their site now. Had no idea it was a common thing.

    Walmart banning Air Pistols and Rifles.

    I checked on their site first, and they would not ship any of the pistols on sale. Might be different in your zip code, but for Dallas area I had to find which stores had them and go in. I'd say you were lucky if they still had any in stock. Around here I had to hit up 3 stores to find any, and...

    Crosman 760 from 1977 has issues

    Put a new valve in it just now, and...no leaking from the barrel end! Have not shot it yet (no indoor range), but just pumping it and pulling the trigger sure sounds and feels like old times! Not sure what was wrong with the old valve, but if yours is giving you trouble, just start by buying the...

    Walmart banning Air Pistols and Rifles.

    My Walmart today here in Texas had the Umarex Walther PPK for $15 and the Umarex 1911 for $15. I bought two of each. The 1911 was originally $89. The Walther was $59 I think. The guy who sold them to me said they are selling all of them at a loss in order to clear them out.

    Crosman 454 not moving BBs after seal rebuild kit install

    Hmmm...the BB advancement thing seems to be fixed, and the CO2 seal seems to be fixed, but...the trigger sticks (and sticks hard) after every other pull. Doesn't come back easily either. If you fire rapidly, it's better, but the "aim slowly and shoot with purpose" thing sticks it at the rear of...

    New valve coming in today. Should know something soon.

    Crosman 760 from 1977 has issues

    Well, I'm at a point where I need to try something else. The idea of using a drill to pull/grind a "seal" into the Delrin didn't work. The drill won't cut a "seal" into the Delrin: it's too hard of a surface. Barely scratches it. I did fine-sand the top of the metal seal edge that meets that...

    Crosman 454 not moving BBs after seal rebuild kit install

    Yep. Fun little pistol for sure. I’m still having issues with the trigger sticking after every pull. If I pull at the very top of the trigger it seems to do better, but pulling right in the finger rest part of it sticks nearly every time. Any ideas?

    Crosman 760 from 1977 has issues

    Still stumped. Pulled it back down again, back together, still air escaping, and pulled it down again. I opened the brass valve again, checked all the 0-rings, cleaned everything in alcohol inside and out, put the valve back together, and hooked up a compressor (with a rubber tip on the hose)...

    Crosman 454 not moving BBs after seal rebuild kit install

    I think I have it fixed. I backed off the cap head set screw that holds the barrel half a turn. I think I had it too tight, not letting the BBs into the barrel. I could get a shot off occasionally, but I'm guessing a BB would get stuck, and only exit the barrel once I put 10-12 trigger pulls to...

    Crosman 454 not moving BBs after seal rebuild kit install

    Hey guys & girls. My Crosman 454 CO2 pistol wasn't sealing the cartridges correctly (letting all the air out upon piercing) so I bought a seal kit and swapped out the valve and o-rings. Put it all back together, popped in a fresh CO2 cartridge (it seemed to hold. Could not hear any air...

    Crosman 760 from 1977 has issues

    update: if I pump it and quickly hold the barrel to my ear, I clearly hear air escaping. OK, now...how to fix? What to look for?

    Crosman 760 from 1977 has issues

    No......don't say that! I read the serial number directly to Crosman! The first 3 or 4 digits told the year of manufacturer I think and they were X1977. Let me check tomorrow and see....since I won't sleep at all now tonight thanks to you! PS I matched the parts I pulled out with the ones I...

    Crosman 760 from 1977 has issues

    It's the manual cock one with the brass lever and the squared-off hand pump. It's near solid metal except for the plastic woodgrain stock. I've seen the newer all plastic ones: I'd like to re-animate this one if possible.

    Crosman 760 from 1977 has issues

    Parts list shows it as the "valve stem assemby: part number 1322A011". I have the "hammer drop" version of the gun.
