Title: Manuals Found
Post by: Dick Tracey on September 15, 2011, 03:53:30 PM
I found this site in my searches today  "http://stevespages.com/pdf/crosman_factory_service_manual_all.pdf". I thought some oy you might be interested in it.

NOTE: The above site has changed from free to a subscription site. I can relate, we work off of donations only also. I would hate for GTA to become a subscription site. But, I'm leaving
          the link above in case anyone wants to subscribe to get Crosman service manuals. Still worthy of a sticky message on GTA.

Thank you for the post, great site, especially this one, http://stevespages.com/page7b.htm. (http://stevespages.com/page7b.htm.)  This is so amazing, has so much of the stuff that I have had to dig for over the last year.  I did learn a lot from digging, yet, what a treasure trove!!

Thank you,

Dave

WoW!  stevespages.com is awesome!  Holy cow, the time that gentleman must have spent putting together that collection of manuals - that's a lot of work.

Now I can throw away all my rifle manuals.  ;)

Thank you very much for sharing those links.

Don't throw your paper manuals away.  Steve Ricchiardelli is an irascible old coot, and once threatened to pull all his data offline, when he got miffed at others 'stealing' it.  Copy what you need just in case he ever does.
I have long used his reloading data, though only after cross-checking with other 'official' published data to make sure of the basic loads.  Some of his loads were a bit....uh.....  'warm'.
He also has firearm manuals, which really helps.

I couldn't find the original model 160, variant one diagrams at Crosman, like I see in it's entirety here! Thank you bunches! I really needed this, since my model 160 resto is in full bloom. By the way, I was able to load this PDF, & many others, into my desktop Kindle app! So it's all saved, every single page!

And, by the by, only the earlier models are covered in this tome. I/we still have to look up the early 760 series , model 70 and the like...I'll get on that one as an addendum before months end.

Steve's site is no longer free to view. It is a subscription site. I can relate, it takes funds to maintain any online site and in most cases, donations don't come in as needed. I am leaving this sticky here in case anyone wants to subscribe to get access to Crosman service manuals.

One of the best manuals for the vintage Crosmans can be found doing a search and downloading it from the right site.  It's a 60's Crosman Manual.pdf.  The file is a little over 10MB and it's more like a shop manual for all their old guns.

I don't want to post the direct link to it here because I don't want to drive too much traffic at once to it and make them want to go to a paid site like the stevespages site did...but if you perform a web search for "crosman_factory_service_manual_all.pdf" (with the quotes), you should find a page hosted by a gentleman with the initials "L.C."...he has a pretty large directory of manuals for all types of guns.  on my search, it was the first result on the page; YMMV.

just got through downloading all the crosman manuals he has up there on the site.  and if you browse around some, he also has a ton of downloadable/printable targets as well.

I think I found this one and posted it? Those are my initials, LC. I remember this one.
