Looks like a model 109 or 110 Town and Country JR.

I'm leaning towards 109 because of the "177" stamping. But I don't know these guns well at all. Wonder if the gun shown is worth $100?

Missing end cap on barrel & tube. I had one with it broken, holds everything together.  It’s now a parts gun.

Missing end cap on barrel & tube.
Was wondering about that, looks 'unfinished' like something was missing- and now I know there is. Bummer...

The owner insists it has "Model 108" stamped into it. The s/n is 282344. It doesn't seem to fit. Frankengun? This is the best he can do for a closeup:

Maybe this would work https://www.jgairguns.biz/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=78_89_105&products_id=13890 (https://www.jgairguns.biz/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=78_89_105&products_id=13890)

Thanks, Dan! I will look into that to see if it'll work.

After looking into the gun a bit more I'm convinced it's a 109. The missing end cap worries me. It was supposedly pumping up, though. Maybe rigged up somehow to get around the missing cap?

That the end plug for the T&C 108 not the Junior!  Have had both guns that will not work.

Don’t jump without a endcap been there with a broken one and had to send back the rifle. Everything depends on the end cap being solid.

Thanks, Steve. Yeah, $100 is a lot for me to spend on a parts gun, especially since I don't own any other 'vintage' Crosman guns.

Okay, the deal is the endcap is in the bottom tube but the upper part with the sight is broken off.

No problem- it's only $1.00. Don't I wish...

ETA- he took a magnifier and now thinks it is stamped as a 109. Now to see if there's a front sight/tube plug assembly to be had anywhere.

I do not know why Precision Pellet doesn't get more recognition. Only a few members here suggest him.
He prefers to talk in person and his inventory must be huge.

I'm sure he is a fine fellow. Personally Mike has been able to meet my needs for Crosman parts so that's who I recommend. You can talk to Mike on the phone and he is a great help when you hit a rough patch. I'm thankful that guys like Mike, Rick and John Groewold are around to supply parts and knowledge.
Heck let's not forget Tim McMurray.

All the guys are awesome.  I sent a pic of a pump rod to Mike Baker to ask him how to replace a leather seal I was buying from him, and he caught that the rod was supposed to have a synthetic seal- not the leather that someone had previously wrongly installed on it. I'm so glad I sent him that pic- he saved me from hours of confusion and frustration.
