Crosman 2100B

Blowpipe Sam,
  HN FTT @ 700+ Excellent Work. I would like to order a couple of Ronno6 2100 bolts. But for now I'll keep the 2100 as it is setup I don't want to make any changes,,, yet. Im thinking to add another 2100B, keep the next one loud and proud LDC-less. Also having another that would like different pellets sounds fun.

 Ronno6,at a later time I would like to upgrade to the C362 piston ... thank you for the part # Excellent Work.

Yesterday was a low to no wind day.
 After sight in at 27 yards I got the first 2 shots in the Bull. Next the wind from the 5 o clock position picked up.. 3rd shot was a bonker and hit high and left, this miss was on me and the wind not the pellets or the airgun or scope. Shots 4 and 5 I can only guess were drifted by the wind along with me breaking the trigger a little low hitting low and left. Not the best group but I'll try on another low no wind day w other pellets. This trigger is travel with no stop. So i count 3 tiny movements and 4th move it should go off when I want.
 Today is a bit windy so no grouping pics just punching cans at 20 yards. When the wind calms I would like to find other pellets that work with the fixed windage open sights.

Thankyou for reading and your replies

 Not the best but there are other pellets to test.

Y'all oughta be using the 362 pump rod.
same all aluminum rod, but with a delrin bushing at the pivot end to prevent galling from metal-to-metal slide contact.

IIRC it is p/n  362-102

Get 'em before Crosman moves to Arkansas...........

The Legacy piston will work.  IMO the Delrin Bushing on the C362 piston is redundant on a gun with as short a stroke as the 2100. It just needs a little attention to lubrication.  The C362 needs the bushing because of the longer stroke and the progressive rate of the pump linkage.  Regardless, the solid aluminum piston is more efficient than the wimpy plastic one that comes stock.  I loaded mine up with some H&N Sniper Mediums (no longer available ) and killed a half dozen pinecones at thirty yards yesterday.

Dunno, Cap'n........
I have seen many a scraped up pump tube and steel pump rod on 766's with no bushing.......

Your experience is greater than mine.  The Legacy is subject to galling too so the design isn't perfect.  IMO the pump arm geometry is responsible for the galling.  I had three Legacy's in a row before giving up on them.  Only one suffered from galling.  The other two I made sure to lubricate both ends of the piston and did not have galling problems with them.  By all means get the 362 piston though since it is superior!

 Earlier in the year I posted a number of questions on the Legacy1000 and the 2100B. I decided on the 2100B mainly because it has a metal receiver.
  I think adding oil to the rear of the pump on the Legacy1000 will help prevent galling as the ND30 oil leaves a layer everywhere it has been. While I would absolutely order a couple C362 pistons at a later time, for now the 2100 making 8.5FPE w 9.0gr and 10 Pumps is good for small things to 30+yards.
 If I wanted I could try using Plastic weld to fill in the slots of the rod of the 2100 plastic piston making it abit more rigid.. Or I can if I wanted to order a Legacy1000 And another 2100B and switch the receivers to have a Legacy 2100B , having the Aluminum piston and stronger Hammerspring and the 2100B receiver. That would leave a 21000L, plastic piston + plastic receiver. That seems fun, open sight porch gun capable of +700FPS w light pellets.
 Today is abit rainy and yesterday was windy, not good shooting days, open sight Fantastic Plastic Models have no problems in rain. XD
