Title: refurbed titan
Post by: 3ants on July 09, 2011, 04:36:28 PM
got my refurbed titan yesterday i think it might be of the last run of the crosman titan now they are benjie titans anyway same problem with the pivot screw bushings barrel lose side to side going to get some of genes brass bushings and a gas ram bushing this gun is a lot different than the one i got at wallyworld last year. the chps fit the barrel tighter and you would not belive how the trigger feels almost perfect will know more after i get the barrel bushings repaired it shoots pretty good now at 15 steps ever thing looked good little ding here and there kindof wish i had bought 2 of them

I finally got some pellets so I could shoot mine today.  Working on the break in period so far.  Like yours, a few dings in the stock but nothing bad.

Hi

I just got one of the refurbed titans.
It seems fine.
I have tech force wad cutters in .22
they don't seat deep enough so the skirts are damaged on closing.
I made a pusher to seat the pellets deeper.
I will have to run the chrony and see if it is more consistent.

collier how is your trigger?

Between my son and I we have around 100 shots, so it isn't broken in yet, and not too quiet yet, but not bad.  Most of my shooting was trial and error trying to find how the gun groups with different holds.  I seem to do best with an artillery type hold, but a little more support with the shoulder and cheek.  Doing that, I got one group under 1/2" at 50'.  Not earth shaking, but not too bad so far.  Just figured out that hold, so I will try some more shooting tomorrow.  I'm sure a CDT trigger will be a help, but the factory trigger is a little better than the Daisy/Gamo springer we have.

I just got a Crosman titan GP..with a center 3-9 scope...for 60.00....  from a pawn shop ...it shoots pretty good with CP's...haven't tried for tight groups yet...  

I did loosen the muzzle break and pulled it all the way out until the set screws where just biting the last 1/2" of the barrel... and it did make it alot quieter...

I could have bought two of these same guns for the same price.... but let the other one slip away... dang...

At 25 - 30 yds.. I can keep a 1" spinner looking like a fan blade...

I was trying to get this thing dialed in this morning, and got pretty frustrated, then noticed the scope mounts had shot loose.  Tightened everything up and it is keeping shots on a 1" target dot, most toward the inner ring.  I am shooting Cabelas hollow point pellets until it settles down.  I did get a tin of RWS, so will try them a bit later.  Trigger pull is very long, but consistent.  Would be tough to shoot offhand, but by the time I start doing that and expecting good results, I should have a CDT unit in it.  DanBrothers, congrats on the great deal. ;D

Collier , just wait till you get that tuna trigger, I put my Titan away cause I got so tired of dealing with a 12lb trigger, Installed Charlie's trigger and it was night and day difference. Now its right on and fun to shoot for hours and try to get a better and better group. Try cphp pellets, see how they group.

 ???  Was confused by the GP/NP thing.  Mine is a GP. but C8, so I guess it is high power?

A few days of shooting it destroyed our pellet trap, so I am searching for a better one.  This gun reminds me of my Marlin 22.  Very accurate at times, but pretty inconsistent.  I guess the trigger would help, but I'd like to see some consistency before I get one. :(

"Mine is a GP. but C8, so I guess it is high power?"
Can someone explain this to me ? Is it a serial number thing or what ?

Hi
I seem to get the best accuracy with .177 H&N Barracuda greens.
They are some alloy and harder than the lead pellets.

no, it means the power of the gas ram. the "C7 gas ram is the lower powered version, and it has lowered cocking effort. the "C8" gas ram in the high powered one, which also has higher cocking effort, but personally i find the cocking effort very light, i feel as though you have to be a midget to not cock it.

I thought that Crosman made the Hollow Points for Cabela's, and Cabela's just threw their name on the tin?

collier there is a screw at the back of the stock trigger if it is not screwed down you might adjust it for a shorter trigger travel,if you turn it 1/2 turn at a time you might see a change

Thanks! ;D

Got some duct seal at the hardware store.  Cut and slap together some wood, and we should be back shooting later today! ;D

Too much stuff going on here to spend much time shooting, but...

a.  The trap works great.
b.  Shot one group with Cabelas HP and got about .7 (last shot opened a .5 group)
c.  Shot one group with RWS Superdome in .5 (last shot opened a 3/8" group)

Shooting at 50'.  Still need a lot of work on my "springer" technique.  Figure the gun will get one of Bob's triggers, and the bushing/washer combo from Gene SC.  I would expect the gun to be pretty solid then.  Can't complain for $89 + shipping. ;D

yeah dude, i pulled mine apart and greaZed everything with JM moly, tightened the heck out of the barrel pivot screw, and loc-tite'd all of the screws, mount point and scope screws. Now shes a smooth kitten and im putting JSB 18.1's into a dime eaisly at 25yds with the stock 4x32 scope! I cant wait to slap some better optics and a tuna trigger on her. The stock trigger is still a mile long but you can feel when its about to break, but im spoiled with the tuna on my XL1100. gotta have it man.

Mine is pretty heavy but it does have a crisp "snap" when it shoots. I tried adjusting the 2nd stage screw and I didn't really notice that much of a change. I was shooting it first then moved to my BC (with GRT) and scared myself with the first shot!! It was  much lighter than the stock Titan trigger...I forgot how light it really was after putting a hundred or so rounds throught the Titan. Yes, GRT is on my short list for sure.

i order one for my titan an for my cfx today, ben shooting this titan with the 177 phantom barrel after about 800 shots its shooting average 985 fps, it seams to lead the barrel  very fast may have to put the 22 barrel back on its pretty acurate at 15 steps even with the stock trigger using chps 7.9 gr i think

That sounds good 3ants. Mine isn't a refurb but I have the Titan in .177, Tuna Trigger and a Leapers 3-9X32 scope. It's a great combo.

Don't bother buying a new one, just get a brick (1 lb bar) of duct seal putty from Home Depot or Lowes and pack it into the pellet trap. I had the same problem with my Gamo Whisper .177 destroying my trap in three days at 20m. I packed 1/2 brick of duct seal into it, and now my Whisper or even my Benjamin Titan .22 at 10m has no effect on the trap.
