Title: Found my old model 1 .22, needs reseal
Post by: jlp920 on January 28, 2018, 03:00:44 PM
Dad managed to dig out the Crosman I had as a kid-nice piece, all wood furniture-the old plastic is breaking (the bolt handle snapped when I  cocked it ) but I assume Crosman can still supply the parts ( I hope). Really nice Williams adjustable sights.

If Crosman no longer has them, you can try either one of these:

Great gun.  You can still get the valve rebuild components from Crosman as they are still used in the 2100. I just rebuilt mine with a cut-down 760 exhaust valve stem that I had on hand. The bolt might take a little searching.  Same one as a 2200, I think.
Here's the owers manual and parts diagram:

Have fun!

They no longer have the 2200 bolt/tray but you can make one from a 2100 bolt /tray...

Down further on the gate page is the 2200 hot rod thread look at reply #15 link below...

You guys are the best, thank you so much.
I will be tearing it down before too long-anything to watch out for with these models? I’ve refurbed my 760 a couple times, no problem.

 Don't be afraid to use some heat to get the valve to come apart easily. Mine had a ton of red Loctite on the threads. I had to doctor up the outside of the valve body after I tore it up a little bit with pliers, taking it apart. Easy reseal, I just used o rings I had laying around. Also replaced my pump cup with a spare from a 1377 I had on hand. They look just a tiny bit different, but it works pretty well. Gun pumps up well, and holds air indefinitely now. Best of luck!

Thanks! Duly noted re. valve.
I’m guessing it has one of those nice brass valves like they used to make.
As I recall I received this gun for my 14th b-day or thereabouts, put a lot of lead through it in the next couple years.

Looking forward to your results. I'm a sucker for old wood and metal air guns.
