Quote from: avator on February 01, 2018, 09:29:36 AMMatt brought me a Crosman 357 C02 pistol and said I could have it. He said he was still rounding up the other old guns. I brought it home and it's in bad shape. It holds C02 but it won't shoot at all. Looks like someone used it for a hammer. Parts will need replaced. Not sure if it's worth the cost of the parts so it will go into the spares bin. The nice thing is.. the barrel looks mint. I swapped it onto my Vigilante and I really like the "old school" look of it.Awesome,lets see how it looks now!

it's crazy how things work out... just when i let one go another one falls into my lap.yesterday a good friend of mine sent me a photo of an airgun he found at a swap meet.well, it was another 1377RC... i asked him to grab it for me.he dropped it off last night.September of 1977i hit it with some mac1 ss & it's still not holding air - but, we'll eventually get that sorted out.
Didnt Betty Lou tell you you were not allowed to bring anymore home unless you got rid of some first ? Hmmmm, I'm thinking this could be some good blackmail fodder.
I dunno, but in my experience once I got the first 2 or 3 in the door, the wife did not notice any additions!

glad to hear you all are feeling better.i resealed the 1377RC last night. added a new pump cup too.while i had it apart - i experimented a little by adding an old 760 pump assembly with the mac1 setup - it fit very nicely. i actually like it more than the stock setup on the 1377.but in the end - i kept it all original minus the new seals & pump cup.it's loosing a little air from around where the barrel meets the plastic breech.i imagine that isn't too uncommon for these old plastic breeches though (1977)anyhow, ran some pellets through the 1377RC - its a very fun pistol.don't think i'll hang onto this one either - i'll set it aside for a future trade.next up is an old benji 130 - seems to be missing parts: 1321, 1344, 1336, 1342, 1325
Thanks guys.... feeling better this morning. Betty Lou seems to be better as well. I don't think it was the flu... it didn't last long enough. Probably just some virus. We took some OTC junk and got a good night's sleep. I'll get through the pile of work that built up on my desk today and take a slow weekend. Hopefully a little shop time.Yeah Wendell.... same Vigi. I'm with you on the "blocky" look of the barrel. That's why I changed it. Looks much more real. Here's a couple pics I grabbed from the net to compare....

Two bookcases 4' x 6' on piano hinges. Behind one I kept all my guns I was not currently using. The other I used to open up to give me a full 10 meter basement shooting range!
