Hi all, I'm enjoying my Crosman 362 very much and its a sweet rifle. It shoots H&N Sport wadcutters and the heavy Kodiaks very nicely. I love an MSP (Multi Stroke Pneumatic) for its variable power, which can be fun to utilize with different weight pellets and different shooting distances. It's also S/N ...100 and I'm happy about that for no particular reason.
Anyway, the trouble is that I get this pesky spastic motion in my wrist when I pull the trigger of my 362. I keep working on self improvement, but a lighter trigger weight would minimize my shooting deficiency and testing has proven that I hit better with a light trigger.
In searching for trigger mod videos or written descriptions for this rifle, all I come up with is people replacing the whole trigger group. I haven't been inside yet, but there always seems to be a way to make a stock trigger work a little better by lubricating, using lighter springs, reducing slop among the sears and such.
Just checking into GTAs great brain trust for either a primer, or a warning that nothing can be done, before I start. Thanks all!

This is worth every penny https://www.tko22.com/section7
Their 3D breach is a good option if one does not have a metal breach already.

I just put a Weaver breach on one of mine, so far It works very well, I have the left hand bolt option, works for my bench shooting with it. It also has one of the first TKO triggers in it.

Do the Benjamin Discovery 2-screw trigger mod:

Some people use set screws.

I took mine apart and greased it and iirc, I replaced the trigger return spring with a lighter one. It's a pretty good trigger now

Thank you gentlemen, Your help is much appreciated! I watched the video and it looks like an excellent mod. I will see what I can do and report back.

It works wonders, the 2-screw mod.
I have an all-metal Magnum Air Power Disco trigger assembly that has that feature; feels like a KIDD 10/22 single-stage trigger 👍

So I modded the trigger in my 3622 this weekend. I bought a 362 metal trigger housing to replace the plastic one of the 3622. I drilled and tapped for 4-40 screws for adjustments.
Number 1 is for sear engagement, number 2 is for over travel, number 3 adjusts how much free play before the trigger engages the sear. I replaced the trigger return spring with a pen spring cut to the same length as the stock spring. A dab of grease makes for a great trigger.
Ps, this is not my idea, it's been posted here before

The plastic trigger housing on my 362 has no thickening in the wall where the screws go, so I opted for no screws until I get a proper housing to mod.
But I did do most of the other work: put in a lighter "trigger weight" spring, cleaned, polished and lubed the sear surfaces,
and put it all back together. That helped a lot!
I can't resist doing the three screw mod and will do that eventually.
Thanks for the help, happy shooting!

I don't know if you can get a metal cover for that housing. I tried ordering one when I ordered the metal one. I wouldn't worry about it, there's no load on the plate. Button it up and enjoy your labors!
I did what you did on my 362. Pen spring, polish, and lube gave me a really good trigger. These are sweet rifles, I'm glad Crosman decided that the world needs them, I like mine, and their PCP brother, the 3622
