Title: Need a re-seal on an 80's vintage Crossman 766 - Pittsburgh area
Post by: thestumper on October 07, 2013, 11:33:09 AM

Hi all,

I've got an older Crossman 766 that needs a re-seal.  The rest of the rifle is in fantastic shape - my father made me care for it like a 'regular firearm'  ;)   I know the gun isn't worth much and it would probably be less hassle just to buy a new one, but I have a LOT of good memories with it and it is a known quantity (ie:  I know how to shoot it and it is VERY accurate for what it is...).   

I'd prefer not to have to ship the rifle just because shipping anything firearm related these days is such a PITA in my experience.   I had a AR15 upper that required some work and I ended up just driving it to Western Ohio from Pittsburgh just to avoid the hassle.   This is no AR15, but if I could find a local resource that would be great. 

If not, then just let me know who does good work and I'll find a way to ship it.   

Thanks!!!

-Eric

Does it hold air?   If so, it probably only needs a pump cup.  Part no. 760-140, couple bucks from Crosman.   Takes about five minutes to change.    One screw, one roll pin, no need to strip the rifle.   If it needs more than that check with Crosman about repair centers in your area.

You also can get parts at JG ariguns... I own a late 70s 766 hand me down from my older bro  that was pretty tore up and I was able to get hard to find parts from them...
