I finally got IT. The Crosman 150!!!! I wanted one for a while and surprisingly, I won the flebay auction today. I should be getting it sometime between Christmas and New Year... now if I could only get the NOE wadcutter mould in .22 ....
I don't know the condition but the pictures look decent, once I get it, I'll see. I'm assuming it will need some work, seals and O-rings so... could you kind folks direct me to where I could find a rebuilt kit or some such?
Thank you,
Ted

Try Mike Baker, he posts here as (surprise) Mike Baker, pm him. Or Precision Pellet at airgunshop.net. Congratulations on the pistol, very fun little shooters.

I haven't bought a 150 in quite a while however back when I bought all mine they were a lot cheaper to buy on ebay. They've all required new seals throughout. The biggest problem is always the original poppet in them which is a must when rebuilding one. Getting them apart sometimes can be a chore however once you've got everything apart it's a downhill battle from then on. Modern day o rings will hold co2 in those guns for a remarkably long time. I cast all my wad cutters from that mold that you're referring to, it does have a small hole in the sprue plate but that's so the the head of the pellet doesn't deform when cutting the sprue. Pure lead with the pressure pour method using the Lyman little dipper is best way to cast them. I recommend the 2 cavity mold when they're available.

I got it! I'm super excited, really like it.... but it leaks , CO2 is coming out of the barrel. I really don't mind wasting a CO2 capsule, I would have found out sooner or later. I keep seeing advice to flush with alcohol but I have no idea where to start and how to go about it.
I see Baker airguns sells this kit https://www.bakerairguns.com/product/crosman-150-157-seal-kits/ (https://www.bakerairguns.com/product/crosman-150-157-seal-kits/) should I buy it?
Any and all advice is greatly appreciated.
Also, I see @Wayne52 's pistol seems to have a rail. Am I wrong? Was that an option?
Thank you

Wayne's 150 is the Ted Williams version I believe, made for Sears.
The reseal kits found on e-bay will also do a good reseal job. Go to youtube for video on how to do the reseal. It is not hard to do.

I have no doubt that's a top notch kit for sure, when you get the gun apart make sure everything is very clean before you assemble it, definitely install that new poppet because if you don't you'll definitely have more problems. Baker don't fool around when it comes to the airgun stuff, he's been at it for a very long time. I can almost guarantee you the o rings are top notch as well as the poppet. I've talked with him a few times at the airgun show here in town, we haven't had one for 2 years not but when there is another one he'll definitely be there I'm sure.

Well, I done it again...
I just won the bidding "war" on fleabay, I just bought a Ted Williams Crosman 150, the price was a bit high but given the trend these days, I'm happy with the purchase. The seller states it was shooting fine but it hasn't been used for several years and he is including a set of seals with the gun. I should've ordered two kits from Baker earlier this morning but I only ordered one kit since I wasn't sure I'd win this second gun.

Do I detect a budding 150/157 enthusiast ? If so, welcome to the tribe. Our un-official leader, the late Dean Fletcher, was rumored to have owned over 150 of them, so guilt is of no concern here. Some advice: always replace the original exhaust (poppet ?) valve, and give the head of the new valve several whacks, using a wood dowel and hammer, to seat it.

Here is the scope mount I use on my Crosman 150, attaches to the receiver/action, and clamps down very tight,
I have a Crosman pistol stock on it and it makes a very handy short carbine, with a Leppy 2x or 4x pistol scope,
the only problem is Co2 don't work too well in 15* temps...........LOL

I learned a very long time ago, never say never. Now, I'm a little confused about the wracking part. I have wood dowels and hammers aplenty, wood mallets and leather mallets. I'm not familiar with the pistol innards (yet) so ill be scouring the internet for video and such. If you gentlemen can post some links would be highly appreciated.

Links and U-tube videos of removing the valve assembly from the gun and disassembling it are all over the web. Just do a Google or Bing on Crosman 150 disassembly. Once you get the valve assembly out and disassembled, you'll understand the whacking part. A additional piece of advice: some of the kits may include an exhaust valve for a 160. The 160 valve stem is longer that the 150/180 stems and will have to be shortened to match the 150 stem.

Thank you for the advice and heads up! I bought the kit from Baker airguns, I believe (from my reading so far) that this would be the most reliable place. The kit was a bit more than the fleabay ones but it includes the exhaust valve (poppet?).

Brewbear as soon as I get my indoor shooting going again I'll probably be starting out with my Ted Williams, when I bought it, it came with the box and original paper work.

The Ted Williams I just bought has both boxes but no paperwork. I bet you bought yours for a lot less than I did, but that's life. I just hope NOE would shake a leg and make some wadcutter molds available. I've been stalking his site for months now.

Here's right after I got mine, I paid about $175 delivered
(https://i.imgur.com/0pDbtaA.jpg)
even then it's not what I call cheap but now that it's operating really good I could probably get over $200 for it if I sold it on ebay

You'll get at least $250 for it, I payed $210 for mine and I have yet to see about the seals...

Brewbear I'll go ahead and move this to the vintage gate, that's where I've always posted all my vintage stuff.

Sounds good to me, thank you sir.

Welcome to the 150 club. I have a 157 that belonged to Dean Fletcher. Most of mine were bought suspecting or knowing they needed seals. It's an easy gun to work on.

That would be nice on this one I put together with a 140 barrel.

That looks like the 13XX shoulder stock! Does that mean the 13XX grips will fit the 150? I absolutely love the wraparound grips but I was looking for customized grips just for S&G. It also looks like the second from bottom, middle row is a bulk feed?

Yes and no. the 13XX stock does work but the grip frame is smaller and shaped a little different than the newer 13XX so the 13XX grips don't fit, The 150 grip frame is the same as older 1377 that had wrap around grips. The grip frames can be swapped with the new style too but there are some hammer and sear combinations that don't work well together. It's been a couple of years since I was swapping parts between the 1389-1377-1322-2289's but I can tell you that these are called Lego guns because of all the interchangeable parts. the 13XX grip frame works on the 2260 rifle tube too. The 130-140-1400-150 barrels will swap too.

Thank you, Sir, and welcome to the fun. I believe I really stepped into this one, I'm going down fast! To recapitulate, I have the 150 I received on Saturday, waiting for the Ted Williams I bought yesterday aaand!!! While looking on-line for custom grips I stumbled on a 150 on American Airguns. This is my first time dealing with this site so I really hope the seller is a stand-up guy.
-
That’s too funny; talk about the rabbit hole. It takes considerable restraint. I shouldn’t look at all the usual places just for this reason. Haha
-
I was hoping there'd be an airgun show here this year but no such luck, those vintage Crosmans are always a common sight at very reasonable prices usually.

Living in SoCal, there is a considerable "drought" as far as "gun shows" of any kind are concerned. Remember, the mental midgets in Sacramento banned kangaroo leather products because the kangaroo mouse is on the endangered species list.
-
On a slightly happier note, I just placed a second order with Baker. This time I ordered 5 tins of wadcutter pellets and two additional rebuild kits for the 150.

When my dad was living next door to me about 12 years ago on 10 acres he kept a "sufficient" number of cats to insure no Kangaroo Rats would ever be found on his land. It worked. He built a "cat house" for them that had a roof pipe entrance and only fed them inside it at night, so they would go in to eat and stay safe from the coyotes all night and he would let them out in the morning.

I went and did it again. Bought this one for something to tinker with this winter. I've got a couple extra valves that are in good shape if it needs anything also. I'll find out when I get it. I remember having one of the bells when I was a kid for a hand me down Crosman 130 from my older brother.

All right, Sir, You got it... beat me to it too. I'm still contemplating the new, never used one with the metal box I posted the link to...
I just got a message with tracking number for the one I bought on American Airguns.

what is the best air transfer port nipple to use to get the most flow?I would love to find an all metal type with a flange to sit in the recess and maybe an o ring for some help sealing . Also do you angle cut into the exhaust valve to help the flow direction quicker? and enlarge the exhust port hole at all. I rememebr getting 460-fps with a 14.3gr pellet for around 30 full power shots.

Brewbear, In your search for the 150 series guns, there is one you want to grab if one ever shows up.
The 150 series was made in two types; the first variation had the two piece breech and barrel, and was made from the introduction of the series in '54 into '56. The second variation with the one piece breech and barrel was made from '56 thru the end of production in '67. The first variation came in two types. Type 1 had the rotating adjustable power setting which was carried over from the bulk fill guns. Very few type 1's were made before being replaced by the type 2 which had the two stage pullout hi-low setting.
Its been estimated that around 80% of the 150 series were 150's in.22 while about 20% were 157's in .177. The rare one to look for is a 157 first variation type 1. This is what they look like:
-
Mine has shipped, coming from Rochester NY, supposed to be here on the 24th but not real worried, might even be here on the 23rd ???
-
Both of mine shipped too, but they'll be here late next week, I guess the
little horseys on the Pony express I mean USPS are tuckered out. I'm not in a big hurry, the kits from Baker will get here about the same time.

Thank you Sir, now you just shoved me further down the slope....I will definitely keep an eye out for one...or two...or... ::)
-
I see one with a barrel like the one @JKM6442 posted but I think the seller wants $150 for the gun and another $100 for the rust on the gun....I'd rather buy the never fired one for the same price.
-
Both of mine shipped too, but they'll be here late next week, I guess the little horseys on the Pony express I mean USPS are tuckered out. I'm not in a big hurry, the kits from Baker will get here about the same time.
Mine had the expedited shipping included with the deal which was $29.95 but the gun was priced at $150 so it wasn't cheap by no means, these days people are asking unreal prices for these guns but in reality if there was a gun built as well as these guns are today it would probably be about the same price (or more) new. Crosman would probably sell a boatload of these guns if they started manufacturing them again but that'll probably never happen. The first variant of these guns was the very first gun to use the modern day c02 cartridges back in 1954. The one I've got coming is the first variant which has a seperate barrel from the breech whereas the second variant the breech and barrel are machined from one piece of steel.
-
This one here I've probably shot more than all my others combined, this one cost me a whopping $60 shipped, best deal I ever got on one on ebay.

Beautiful! My first one, the one that initiated my slippery slope journey, I bought for a grand total of $70.70 so I can't complain.

I get about 80 shots on low power with that last one I posted, I've actually put that gun away for about a year with co2 still in it and it still had a charge a year later.

Only the generics, gunbroker, fleabay, sometimes Craigslist and the American Airguns. Once in awhile when I’m surfing on other airgun sites I have seen advertisements but I don’t linger so no help here. Sorry. Some of these guys know a lot more sites than me. Maybe they’ll add to the list.

Question for the guys that have one in hand,
What is the number that is stamped into the small action rear plug and,
is there any numbers lightly stamped in front of the trigger guard, on the bottom of the pressure tube.
My 2nd Variant 150 > 22 cal, has "54" on the small cap and 11 63?, very lightly stamped there.
Maybe the yr of birth?
This pistol also has a 3 click power option, with a small screw threaded hole in the back end.
#1- just makes a sound, will NOT move a pellet out of the bbl,
#2- is just about half power,
#3- is full power.
Tia,
Don
-
The only one I have that has numbers stamped in it is a first variant on the pressure tube. It doesn't have any other numbers stamped on it at all.
My Ted Williams has the three position cocking however the first one will only spit out pellets decently when the pressure is getting low because it takes less pressure to open the poppet.
-
Question for you gents. Is $200 a fair price for a Crosman 600 in fair shape? Some paint is missing but it looks OK overall. The visible screw heads look OK, they are not mangled in any way. This is the "Third Variant With The Push Button Piercing Cap ..... Adjustable Rear Sight ..... Spring Fed Magazine ..... Safety ..... Still Has The Crosman Arms Canada Silver Sticker Remaining" < from the ad.
Thanks,
Ted

brewbear, the ad also notes that 600 is leaking. The rebuild process for 600's is definitely DIY-able but lots more to it than for a 150.

A couple of years ago there were not many options for getting a 600 rebuilt and I am a DYI type anyway and have done mine. It is not easy for everyone and there are more parts. Here is a pic of the pieces of the last one I had apart and my 600's and 677.
-
Wow Dan, that's a nice looking pistol.
Darn thing looks about as complicated as a microscope (more or less).
So you think $200 is a fair price?
-
Maybe worth mentioning I am told the 600 has some parts that can be easily damaged and are no longer available.
I plan on sending mine out to a "Pro".

Ooookkk! Now you got my attention big time. See, from hanging around the forum I infer you've done some tinkering and fixing. I guess I better reconsider my di&#ing around with this one. HD I'd appreciate it if you can let me know where you plan on sending it, I thought of Baker since that's where I bought the seal kits for the 150.
-
I am undecided as of yet, not real pressing.
I have been told not to send it to Henry Ford because he modifies them in such a way that some original part(s) can no longer be used (poppet? / valve stem?)
Again just "hear-say".

I don't even have the 600, not sure if the $200 price is worthwhile but if you folks think it is worth it, I'll buy it and then wait for you, Sir, to decide who and where to send it for repairs. I have a 150 here and two more on the way waiting for the kits from Baker.

I have no recommendation on a repair shop because I have never used one, but I believe Scott is right. The first time I took one apart I did a lot of research first and when I did it it went smoothly, but I can and always have fixed most things myself. I would say I have higher than average mechanical ability from years of lots of practice.

I wish that I had bought one of the Crosman 600's a couple years back, it had grips that worked for a lefty, even if it was a leaker I would have bought a kit for it because I'd rather work on my own guns. Always have and always will unless I need a barrel custom made or something like that.

I totally understand you, the last time I got a wild hair up my nether parts I tore out the cabinets in the kitchen- we had just bought the house and the kitchen remodel quote was 55-75k. By the time I got done I realized I had no idea how to make cabinets. Long story short, it took me a couple of months to learn an buy the right tools but I got it done

Carry on with your 150!!!!
Maybe we need to start a "Rooky 600" thread and see who chimes in on this great forum.
Instead of derailing here?

Would you happen to know a moderator who can do that? ;)
I started the thread and I don't mind if we get out in the weeds a bit, but I think your idea for a dedicated "600" is great, thank you.
Back to the 150 that started it all, the kits from Baker are arriving on the 24th (cross fingers) and there's a possibility for a custom set of target grips by the New Year (cross fingers, toes, eyes and everything else that can be crossed).
-
On page 3 of this thread Don was asking about stamped numbers. On the one I have thre is a set of stamped numbers on the breech cover. I think they are 829609 but I haven't a clue of their significance. I don't see any other numbers stamped anywhere.
-
I would keep looking for a 600 @ $200.
You should be able to find a nice one that is functional for that price.
Btw...fun pistols

Thank you for the advice. You were asking about your 150, based on my minuscule amount of knowledge I'd say yours is a variation 2.

Nah... just start a new one....after a Tenacious search of previous posts.
I would keep looking for a 600 @ $200.
You should be able to find a nice one that is functional for that price.
Btw...fun pistols
Have you seen what they are going for lately? $600 -$800!!!
Dudes are crazy right now!

I know prices are crazy and that is why I was asking about a 600 in fair shape for $200, I found one!
The 150's aren't any saner, there is a 150 var.1 selling for a mere $248. I thing the amount of exterior rust may reflect the interior and the visible screw heads are pretty messed up like Magilla Gorilla worked on it.

On page 3 of this thread Don was asking about stamped numbers. On the one I have thre is a set of stamped numbers on the breech cover. I think they are 829609 but I haven't a clue of their significance. I don't see any other numbers stamped anywhere.
Most of mine do too but I think it's a part number, no significance as far as when the gun was made or anything. I think maybe the variant 1 that I posted about is probably the oldest one that I have because of lack of numbers on that part that you're talking about. I've never seen anyone talk about numbers on the pressure tube like mine before, this is the first I've heard of anyone else having a 150 that had numbers stamped on the pressure tube.

At least air is still fee!
BTW, do you guys put moly on the bolt/probe and breech cover?
I'm watching a disassembly/assembly video on YT and the gent is very thorough but Dear Lord! he is repetitive and sloowww....The other video I found is from a guy who must've been drunk, he keeps putting stuff backwards to the point I was yelling at the computer screen.

Brewbear, I think $200 is a pretty good price if all of the pieces are there. Assume that it will leak. There are only three sealing areas (four with a push button piercing knob) for the pressure boundary. Disassembly/reassembly is simply daunting and tedious. I've re-sealed two and ran about 5,000 and 500 pellets through them with no problem since. I'll dig up the links that I used if your interested. The C600 is just a fun gun to shoot.

Thank you, I'd appreciate the links. I will start a new thread for the 600 specifically, that way all info will be in one place more or less.

I just got home to find a parcel on my porch chair. Today was a very long week! In any case it is dark and raining outside so I couldn't shoot my (yepee) Ted Williams (yepee)
that was in the box. It is very clean with a couple of small rust spots, nothing a dunk in hot water and citric acid will not cure. I noticed a small hole on the side of the cocking knob. What is that for?
So, now I have a dilemma: Two Crosman 150's and only one complete rebuilt kit from Baker (it arrived today too). My brain tells me to "practice" on the first 150 and be sure of what I do when I rebuilt the Ted Williams (two more kits are on their way but will not be here till next week). My heart tells me to rebuilt the Ted Williams first and see how it shoots.
Before I forget, do you guys see a performance difference between Type 1 var.2 and Type 2?
-
Among my less inspired ideas, yesterday I got my booster shot. I drove my wife for her doctor's appointment and I figured why not? I am hurting today and have a headache that will kill a horse.
One must persevere, I put on my big boy pants and started on the Crosman 150. I took me a while but I got it done. I must say, there was a lot of crud and dried up Pellgun oil? I managed to clean 99% of it but the parts inside the valve are still caked up and will not fall out. I will more than likely buy a new valve if I can find it, the screw holding the front of the trigger assembly and the valve was cross threaded- I tried it before I put it back. I managed four shots and now I'll let it sit.
Wish me luck!
I wish you all a Merry Christmas,
Cheers,
Ted

Are there any other Crosman pistols/rifles using the same valve as the 150?
-
I think the Crosman 180 does but don't know for sure.
-
A question (or two) for the experienced owners of the 150. Is it necessary to remove the metal ring between the valve and the hammer? I just completed the first reseal on my 150 and while removing this part (what a pain) i didn't understand why I had to remove it. I used the Baker Airguns kit, it includes the check valve stem (poppet?) and a new spring for the piercing pin.
Are there different valve bodies? Some with the removable filtering felt/mesh/washer/sleeve and others without?

Removing the (small tube plug) allows pushing the valve out easier without just pushing on the valve stem. I use a wooden dowel with a hole drilled in the center so the valve spring is not collapsed while pushing the valve out. It may not be anything to be concerned with but since it is easy to avoid I do.
I believe they all originally came with the filtering felt/mesh/washer/sleeve but I have bought ones that didn't have it when I opened them up and it hasn't been a "functional" problem for me yet and as long as dirt is kept out of the tube it should be fine.
-
Yet another question: is the Ted Williams barrel permanently affixed to the valve tube?
-
Yet another question: is the Ted Williams barrel permanently affixed to the valve tube?
No, the rear sight screw and breech screw attach it I believe. I don't have a Ted Williams model but can't see how/why it would be.

brewbear, a couple things on your questions above:
1. As Rabbit\Squirrel Killer says, removing the solid ring between valve & hammer makes for easier valve removal. Taking that ring out is not difficult but first you need to push the valve forward enough (using a 1/4" or smaller rod) to get the end of its stem past the barrel fastening hole, then a punch can knock out the knurled pin no problem. Cleaning the tube is also easier with it removed.
2. The Ted Williams barrel is separate, fastened the same as all 150's.
3. The screen was added in May 1959 per factory service manual page 12-B.1
4. The 150 valve 'piercing body' is the only one with the threaded hole for the grip frame screw - 180, 400 & 160 don't have this.

Thank you Dan and Don. I'm getting there.... slowly but surely. Don, thank you for the info on the 180 valve, I was about to order one.

Update on my first reseal job. I checked it today, it's been sitting with a cartridge since yesterday. No leaks! It fired just fine.

Thanks for filling in the black spaces of my memories. I just know what I have encountered and remember. It's been a while since I have torn down one of my 180 series or one of my 150 series. I do know I had at least one 150 valve that was very stuck in the tube, but once it let go it was easy to get out.

This is getting pretty bad folks! I caught the 150 fever!!!
To recapitulate, I bought my first Crosman 150 on December 15th followed by a Ted Williams variant on the 19th. Another Crosman 150 joined the flock on the 20th (should arrive on the 28th) and finally (for now) a second Ted Williams bought and payed for but will not ship until Jan. 2nd since JG Airguns is closed for the holidays.
Since all the afore mentioned are all the one piece breech and barrel variety, I now need to look for the other varietal.

I live 5 miles out of town on 5 acres with a neighbor that shoots firearms so the noise of the 150 does not bother me or them.

I live on 0.5 acre lot in one of the very few horse property areas outside city limits and I can manage a 100 yard range (more or less) from the back door to the back fence. The only problem are the new people in the area, they are city refugees, that jump when someone uses a pneumatic hammer. These are the same people happy to enjoy the "country lining" but complain about people riding their horses on the side streets and post it on "Next door" app. Our reply was for them to go back to the concrete jungle.
I can shoot the 150 on first click without problems but on full power it is kinda loud-ish. Diana Chaser with the provided LDC is whisper quiet.

Day two post reseal and things look good. I shot it again on half power and after 15 or so shots I can say that I really like these guns. I should have another delivered tomorrow and a Ted Williams sometime in early January.

So, I was curious since I saw a Crosman booklet with a 150 Type one showing the price as 14.95 or so, say $15.00. In today's dollars that translates to $136.25 :o
Since the seller wanted $229, I had to pass on it.

For several years I was looking daily and had a good idea of what was low and high of the offered start bid or buy it now prices. I haven't been looking for the last couple of years because it I came across a great deal I would buy it, LOL. Not that it would be a bad thing to own some variants that I don't, I just am content enough to not look for them. The last 150 I bought was complete (all parts present) but in torn down and I paid $40 Buy it Now price plus 7.00 shipping. I got some real good deals on some of mine.

Please, don't make me cry, Dan :'( The cheapest I bought was $70, the second was 119, both Ted Williams were $250 a piece and I dragged my feet on a 600 for $200 and missed out. No big deal, I know that the market fluctuates, just have to be patient, know the prices and be ready to buy when you find the right deal. There was a folding knife I wanted for a few years, a SFO with only 15 made. I saw one a while back for $350 but I thought it way above what it should be so I waited until a year or so later I bought one in the tin and with the signed letter for $150. Time will tell I guess...
I see the one type 1 was relisted at the same price it had before, it looks in pretty good shape but I'll wait.

A lot depends on the sellers knowledge too. I won't low ball an offer but I have a hard time not buying something I like that is priced way below what it is worth. I also have lost a lot of auctions because of not being as willing to pay more than cheap, because if my bid is low and I win I think that is fair, because it was an auction after all.

True enough, but a Crosman 600 going for $600 to $800 is way above what the thing is worth to me, even new in a sealed box.

If I could buy a new one I think it would be worth $400-$500 to me. Just a couple of years ago I would have topped out at $350 for a new seal box.
What's old Crosman is more pricey than the 600's, the 451! They are a 45 semi-auto replica, I know another detour, sorry

Well, I started the thread and I've learned quite a few things from you and the other folks here. I'm learning about other 150's and a few others but I think that by and large we are sticking to the topic.

I still don't have a shooter's opinion if there is any difference between the type 1 and type 2 crosman 150.

I don't have any Sheridans and with Omicron popping all over the place, we're getting busy all over again. In January I cut my vacation short and went back to work and I'm hoping it will not repeat this coming January. The stats I'm seeing now, it is very possible I'll get called. So, I will not have any spare time to play....

One more question: I just received my third Crosman 150 and the finish on the compression chamber and barrel is pretty much gone. The grips are perfect and the screwheads are almost pristine. BTW, it is a type 1 version 2 which is great. Should I re-blue the parts? If so, I am looking at either Mark Lee's Express Brown #2 or Birchwood Casey Plum Brown. Since the grips are brown, I want to give it that nice, old gun brown finish. Have any of you used these solutions? What would you recommend?
Thanks,
T.

My Crosman 150 found a mate! Unfortunately, the scope is an "El Cheapo" NC Star, it definitely needs a better scope but not something past $100.

Sometimes it pays to be lucky! My newest Crosman 150 got the white (urethane?) seals and I remembered reading (Mac 1?) that you need to heat up the gun before pressurizing it to allow the seals to mold in. Said and done, heat up to 85*-90*, cock it and fire. CO2 caplet gets pierced and PFSSSssss!!! Put the thing aside in disgust!
That was yesterday. This morning I decided I need to change the Captain O-ring TP seal, I was under the impression it was too stiff/hard and that caused the leak. I go to remove the cap and...thing is stuck, but good! I tend to be smarter than the average bear at times, but today wasn't it. Grab a piece of leather to protect the grooves, Put the cap in the vise and slowly turn... hmmm... I don't remember it being so rough. Oh, well, try again, and again, and again. Little progress with each turn, but still moving like still under pressure (that is what dawned on me after the fact) so lemme see, cock, dry fire (didn't expect much) and BANG!! Naaahhh! It can't be! Cock, fire, BANG!! Loud bang at that. Load a pellet, cock, aim, fire! Bing! Hit the target. I will have to shoot it down and see, I only managed to undo a couple of threads, there's good 7 or 8 threads holding the cap.

Almost a month later, the said 150 fizzled out... I guess the seals weren't as good as I thought or I did a lousy job of it. No problem, I used my last rebuild kit from Baker and life is good again.
-
WHEW!

WHEW!
LOL! I think I'm done buying 150's, at least for now. I have six of them. Now the Sheridan experience is taking over.

Now...you are doomed with the rest of us "Vintage Lovers". ;D
I am still giddy over my 105... searching for a 106.

Vintage guns for vintage shooter... works for me. As much as I enjoy open sights, I see myself looking for alternative sights. Don't get me wrong, I can still see the sights, it's the targets I don't quite make out at a distance. If I put my glasses on, it's the other way around but these vintage toys don't allow much flexibility on aiming devices, not that I'm aware of. I did manage to put a See All sight on a 150 but what I would really like to try is a Ghost Ring type sight for the pistols.

I'll post pictures of my walnut 150 grips as soon as I get enough posts to be able to do pictures.

Here's an example of one that I uploaded to Imgur.com

I too use Imgur since the Photobucket Phiasco.
While it is OK on may home computer, it is impossible on my smart phone or tablet. :P
-
I do want to warn you the Sheridan C02 pistols are real nice but the seals are not durable so a guy gets real good at working on them to keep them going.
Dan are the aftermarket seals that bad though? The o rings that come in the kits for the 150's seem to be excellent up to date compared to what was originally in them.

Scott about the only thing that I've ever done on the cell phone is text, never really attempted anything else, I'm spoiled with my desktop.

I had the same problem posting pictures from my phone, that is why I use that hosting service. It makes things easier since most often I use my phone ot take pictures with.

Personally I'm not a fan of doing much of anything on a cell phone the last time I used it to get on the forum was during a power outage we had a few weeks ago. Normally it stays in my Hunting coat for when I'm out on the state land or driving in my truck, heck I pretty much wear that field jacket everywhere I go anyway 8)

I only have one Sheridan pistol and I bought the seals kit from Henry's shop on eBay (crosman600repair). I just bought 2 complete repair kits for the 150's from them, I will be able to tell you more once I get them. I used the kits from Baker previously and they are great, they included the TP seal, a new stem and the spring that goes inside the valve. I don't think Henry's kits included the spring so I may gave to figure out what kind of spring to buy so if you gents know what that spring is, I can order it from McMaster.
-
Henry has top notch stuff in his kit's, I like them personally.

Agreed, He is a member... wish he frequented here more.

I know what you mean, I only used my phone for call mainly, but things have changed... a lot! I use it for just about everything now since my time is busy, working in health care these days is a busy time. Last April my mom's health hit a rough patch so I was with her all the time, either in ER or in the room while admitted in the hospital. I became dependent on my phone for internet and everything else.
BTW Wayne, I received the bag-o-parts from Andy, there are two valves for Crosman 130. I don't mind sharing so if you need one, just drop me a PM with your address and I'll send it to you. I need to stop by the post office tomorrow to send off my Sheridan pistol to Mike Baker.
-
I'll do that because I've got one that needs a valve, it's plugged up super bad and I haven't been able to unplug it, I even soaked it in acetone then tried blowing it out with 120psi with no luck.

I have a Crosman 600 I may need to send for service, do you guys recommend Henry Ford's service? Is there anyone else you'd rather have do the work? I read Henry tweeks the valve so.... if you want to keep it as close as possible to original???
-
He pretty much specializes in the 600's and I'm sure he's really good at it, he's probably done a zillion of them and knows everything there is to know about them.
-
What do you guys do for .20 cal pellets? I think getting NOE to make a mould for us will not work, we already have 8 folks waiting for the .22 cal wadcutter moulds but ha hasn't made a move on that yet. Scott (Motorhead) has a "sizer" to drop the .22 to .20 but he only teazed us with it and I don't have the lathe or technical knowhow to make one. https://www.gatewaytoairguns.org/GTA/index.php?topic=150220.40 (https://www.gatewaytoairguns.org/GTA/index.php?topic=150220.40)

While I too have a 600 that needs serviced, I have read the Henry Ford does modifications that can't be "un-done". :(
The is a guy who also specializes in them and only uses OEM parts... I will see if I can dig his info up again.

All I can speak is from what I was told and what I have experienced. I was told by Tim McMurray that the E series need seals more often than any Crosman will. He also said if you own and shoot many you will get good at putting seals in them. I have had one last a long time and one that I have resealed several times. When I reseal one I don't try to figure out what failed just replace the seals and be done with it. They aren't hard to do IMHO.
The first time I bought this kit that includes the valve tool. https://www.pyramydair.com/product/benjamin-sheridan-repair-kit-fits-some-pre-1995-multi-pump-guns-w?a=624 (https://www.pyramydair.com/product/benjamin-sheridan-repair-kit-fits-some-pre-1995-multi-pump-guns-w?a=624)

Crosman 150 grips. Not mounted because two little things aren't quite the way I want.
This spot digs into my hand a little
And I prefer for this corner to be a little more radiused
I did not make them. Probably make the little mods and refinish.
Don't use the grips because this is my carry 150. A little worn. I can drag it along and let others shoot it at outings. Let the kids shoot it. etc. This is a very easy pistol to learn with. I can have a kid hitting cans pretty fast. (what's better?) Found it many years ago in a burned out house on a beam in the basement. I never shoot my nicer 150's.
Best pellet pouches were from "Uncle Mikes". Can't get those anymore. The Crosman is inferior.
Many years ago I added this little slotted screw I made. Takes out most of the creep. Makes the safety inoperable. IDC. Vastly improved the trigger.

Who did make the grips?
-
I'd love to buy a pair myself, they'd go right on my Ted Williams.

I bought a couple of pairs on fleabay, still waiting for the darn things. They were supposed to be delivered Feb 12.
-
I didn't mention because I don't remember for sure but I think Austin Vernon. It's been a while. If you get a set remember the slight alterations I suggested.
-
I used the first seal kit from Crosman600repair. Not quite as complete as the Baker kit and to top it off, my gun leaks. Do you gents know the o-ring sizes I need to get? I'd like to have some spares on hand.

I believe the big ones are size #113. Same as in the Crosman 160.

Thank you for that, I am hoping someone will pop in and drop a link or three for the type of rings (materials like urethane) and hardness needed.

I just received the two sets of grips for the 150s. Perfect fit and finish
