Title: Crosman Model 1.....which rearsight?
Post by: SlugFest on January 17, 2019, 05:46:40 AM
Can any of you guys recall which Williams rearsight was fitted as standard to the Crosman Model 1 in the 1980s?  Thanks all.

I do not know the Williams, but Crosman parts list the sight as part # 2280-017 . Hope that helps you.

Mine is stamped “531” on the top ramp.
Worst case... I took the Williams sight from a Model-1 and mounted it on a 2200. The hole spacing was identical/required no alteration.

The reverse should hold true; put the sheet metal sight from a 2100/766/2200 onto the Mod-1 barrel shroud. Would be more crude, but functional

Thank you Anthony...that's really helpful.  What you've done with your sight is actually what I'm planning on doing too  ;)   I've got a walnut woodwork .22 Crosman that's about 20 years old and stamped Crosman Classic on the receiver and seems modelled more on the Model 1 than the 2200.  It had the standard sheet metal/plastic ramp rearsight but I thought the little Williams I remembered from the '80s Model 1 would be really nice. I'm off to Google the Williams 531!  Thank you again.
