Crossman V-350

[Septicdeath]

Well another vintage airgun is finished. Crossman V-350 slide action bb gun. Received a lot of three. two made around 1963 and a Sears and Roebuck variant made later in the 60"s. This is the Sears gun I have completed. The other I will also do. And am sending the third to a friend. 

Have also included a picture of the Crossman variant I have just started on for comparison. 

Tested it after a good going over. Have not chony yet but think it will be around 400 something fps. Shot a tennis ball in the back yard 10 or so times with steal bb's. Will be testing some lead ones also.

Nice work! I had the Sears variant when I was a kid, think it was about $19 new out of the catalog, pretty sure early '60's. Liked it better than the Crosman because it had the Monte Carlo stock and whatever you call the "backcut" on the forearm, and the ramp front sight. Shame I had to ruin it (like everything else) by trying to rapid fire it and breaking the piston, then after fixing that, drilling 2 big holes in the left side of the stock to mount some POS toy scope. Kids. My friend still has his Crosman M-1 which I'm pretty sure has the same mechanicals (and works).
