Crosman 157

[cahil_2]

I am not good at shooting pistols! I own a pristine Crosman 157 that I sent to MAC1 airguns and had resealed but it just doesn’t get used. Well I now have a use for it as it works great for scaring pigeons out of silos and the .177 pellets don’t damage anything. I went to one of my permissions tonight and I don’t see any activity at all, so I pulled out the 157 and dings the silo and out flies 7 pigeons. I then proceeded to drop two with my .30 impact mk2. Sure glad it didn’t sell when I put it out at my daughters garage sale this spring.

That is a very nice 157. Glad you didn't sell it at the yard sale too. The FX ain't bad either, lol.

Don’t think so! I have 3 FX guns including an impact and I clicked on it. That’s a cool pistol! I’ve been looking for pump BB gun to shoot the grasshoppers eating my garden this year.

Nice 157, but don't underestimate it. On a hot day it can put out over 500 FPS, so is no toy. 

For decades I've used the .22 caliber version Model 150 for small-game hunting (including jackrabbit) with excellent success. I dropped a pigeon at 25-30 yards with a clean upper-chest shot, and this cottontail fell to an offhand brain shot at 35 yards.

I have the twin to your 157. Next time to re-seal, try it yourself. Ring kits are cheap, get poly, not rubber. Watch YouTube for tricks, there are some doozies. Feel the satisfaction of doing it yourself, believe me you can do it.

Recon by fire is a good tactic.
