Title: Crosman test shots
Post by: schwinnbikebob on June 19, 2024, 03:25:35 PM

You guys know so much but this might be a challenge.  Does anyone know about how they do production?  These are all 781 receivers in colors of plastic that I don't think ever was produced.  They just used black.  Wonder why Crosman would do this?  Just a nice curiosity.  Anybody have any insight?

I would think it was a marketing idea that never got off the ground?

I have no clue, but the colors seem like odd choices.
The gold and silver I get, but the red white and yellow ones I don't really get.
They had to be for something specific, unless there were other colors like blue and green.

These look like they came out of the R&D department.   I have seen Daisy guns that were different colors that were never produced.  Years ago Bob Spielvogel had quite a few Sheridan pistols that came out of the factory in Racine in different finishes and colors that were never produced.   Just the R&D departments trying new ideals.
