I recovered a Crosman 101. Older version with the pellet logo and a knurled cocking knob. Of course it needs a reseal job and my plan was to send it into Bakers Airguns. Then the PCP bug bit and bit hard. I WAY over spent and the bank [wife] closed my spending account for the time being. So as I catch my breath my thoughts returned to the 101. All I shoot now are .177 and this being a .22 pumper Im just wondering what can I expect as far as velocities and accuracy (provided I can bold up my end of the deal). The peep site on this gun is in nice shape still but my aging eyes arent as peep site compatable as they used to be. Mounting a scope would require some effort (if it can be done at all). When I found this gun there was no other related paraphernalia with it (no pellets, oil,targets, instructions or any thing just this rifle and an old stevens single shot .22 rimfire). Any 101 owners input would be freatly appreciated.
Thoughts on a Crosman 101?

Fix it up! Or send it out, great rifles.
SAome infor for those that might need it:

I've had the 101 & 102.
Made to shoot .22 round balls ( pellets are fine) at around 600fps and put food on the table. That was an expensive rig when made not a toy for playing. They will still take small game if in decent shape.
LOT's of slightly different models, have a picture?

I dont have a pic. I need to read up on posting pixs here. Its been a while since Ive been on any forums so I need to relearn all that stuff. My plan is to send it out for a reseal to David Baker as soon as I have a littleextra cash laying around.

I concur with spysir. Have it resealed and enjoy. Only issue with doing it yourself is the need for special tools .
They are built solid and fairly accurate little rifles. Below are specs for a '49 model with fresh seals.
10 pumps with 15.89gr JSB Exact Jumbo_______604fps 12.9fpe
6 pumps is usually good for plinking.

I was looking at these @ auction, and on Baker's. Do they not have a safety?
Be fun to take one out after small game, but dang I have alot of airguns already....

No safety except good old fashion common sense. Thanks for the numbers on this. Seems like a worthwhile rifle to invest in. Just too many projects right now and too little income. Wadcutter that is a beautiful restore job there.
