Ed, theres a 25 in my future. I have a 25 upper to finish for a 1325 first, then a 365. I don't know if ill go Baker breech, or make one, theyre a bit of work to figure out. Please keep us in the loop as you progress with yours.

If this is true, the tooling should be new, the quality should be consistent. Whatever the case may be, i was more or less wondering out loud. Seems strange to me is all.Mine had a shotgun pattern at 20 yards out of the box. Tried 7 different pellet types all the way up to H&N 5.55's. Burr in the lead, burr in the crown, burr in the barrel port. I ditched the barrel and went with a .22 Disco barrel. Yes, a Crosman engineer told me that these barrels are made in house but their quality from one barrel to the next is like playing the lottery at best. Some got barrels with fantastic accuracy, some did not. Razor sharp burr in all the pump tube slots and holes... I have never seen a Crosman gun with this much burr in so many places. You would think they used new tooling for a new platform, but I have to wonder? Mine took more work than I was planning on, but in the end... I still have mine in .22 and get 1/2" or better groups consistently at 20-25 yards and it has great power for a pumper and it is my go-to gun when I want a .22.

Just a FYI..both my 362 and my disco 367 consistently kill cans @ 30 yards….for me thats golden…good luck
I Chronoed my 362 yesterday 14.3gr Crosman were 675fps at 10 pumps and 700 at 12 pumps.21.1gr Barracuda were 570fps at 10 pumps and 600 at 12 pumps.My 362 seems a little slower than some around here but a couple more pumps brings it up to match the fast ones.The main range limit for my 362 is the trigger. It has a long indistinct break. I wouldn’t shoot it past 25yds if I expected to humanely kill anything.The Barracuda 21.1gr barely lose any velocity at 25yds. They would still be putting out 14 ft/lbs if I gave it 12 pumps. That is some serious punch.
Diananike, Thankyou for the Chrono #s. ExcellentWork !The C362 with heavy pellets does great and shells out abunch of FPE. I love HN.Backroads. Sofar i find no issues with the C362 triggers. Anything i need to know if i wanted to switch triggergroup and stock from C362 < 13xx? I had them side by side and see a couple things, ends of pump handle have to be trimmed and figure a way to get that mgnet on the 13xx tgroup. Or can the metal magnet be skipped aslong as a hand is kept on the pump? Thankyou for sharing. Wll2506, I think the C362 is just fine being pumped to 10. I think aslong as your not retaining air your AG will be good. Once when overpumping i came across a wierd thing with a DP880. This Model has the Limiter Slot filled and Orings on pump shimmed out to create more pump pressure. Couple weeks ago with temps around 36, i decided id try a few shots with 12 and 14 pumps. Pumping got harder, till pump 12, i felt air release under the pump.. i can only guess that air escaped behind the pump tube, or somehow through the threadtape shims. I later took that AG apart and added a layer of thread tape and silicone gasket maker to the rear of the pump tube where it connects to the valve, and took a look at my pump and tube, everything seems normal, pumps good shoots good. Though i nolonger want to try 14 pump shots in that AG. With 10 pumps in the C362 i had a couple shots retain air, though that was with a BRLDC on. Dont think id pump the C362 past 10 much, maybe wear the pumpcup out sooner by overpumping? . If i think i need more power and range, ill pay the sacrifice and take a heavier longer AG with me. NVak
