Crosman Model 120 Project - About 90% Complete

[c801tfd]

Don’t know much about the Crosman Model 120, all I do know is I got off of EBay for a very cheap offer that was accepted after 3 weeks. 

So far I have replaced the pump lever assembly arm, resealed and cleaned up the rust, repainted it and redid the wood. I have the rear sight, apprature and a new stronger hammer spring ordered and should have them later this week. After the reseal I tested velocity and it averages 610 fps with 14.3 Crosman domed pellets. Here are the before and after pictures:

Long Gun Dallas, 

It shoots at about 610 fps with 14.3 Crosman domed pellets. Sounds like a 22 6 pumps and as for accuracy I will be taking it out this weekend once the new rear sight arrives. However, I did shoot it twice off hip just pointing barrel at a spot on a 2x6 about 15 feet away, both shots hit the board and the second one was maybe a less than 1/4 inch from first one and just about as low, so here’s to hoping it performs just as well using sights.

Thank you everyone for the compliments, I enjoy finding the lost cause and bringing it back to respectability. The only problems I am encountering is finding projects at reasonable prices that make doing this worth while and now my personal collection has more air rifles than I have time to shoot if that’s possible. Glad I have two sons to help keep them exercised.
