NEW Crosman 362

[2K1TJ]

From the pictures posted it looks like it has a Legacy  1000 piston or one that is very similar.

I haven't seen the Legacy one to compare, but yes, this one is all aluminum and not plastic, like the early 766/2100/2200's.

I found some in stock on a site called Budk? Never heard of it so I'm a little suspicious.

I just Googled the site and they have mixed reviews. Personally I wouldn't chance it.

I'm not. No other airgun or outdoor site has them in stock so I don't trust it at all.

Finally got a chance to open the box and take a look. looks like mine bounced around a bite in shipping. The bolt punched a hole in the lid of the box. the two piece of Styrofoam were torn up some. Little pieces of Styrofoam everywhere. I hate that stuff. Clings to everything especially plastic.
The rifle looks fine though. My serial number N21xxx184. So pretty happy to get a fairly low serial number 
I was half expecting to get a stock like my 2100 from the early 80's but this stock is much nicer then I expected. As a kid this rifle would have been my dream rifle. So wish this one was around back then. Why Crosman took so long to recognize what should have been made years ago is a little mind boggling. oh well. can't wait until have an opportunity to take it for a spin but got more important dad duties tonight and for the next few days.
Merry Christmas

I like it that the tube is not stamped-----looks much cleaner like the CCS guns

FPS looks great! Is this a flat top setup? I zoomed in on the piston but could not clearly tell for sure? It is nice to see that they went with a metal piston. How does it feel at the pivot point... any slop there? How well does the barrel band secure the barrel. Set screw or friction fit? Is it plastic or metal? Questions, questions... sorry.

I am looking forward to seeing some groups.

I'm very much looking forward to seeing this gun, I hope that the gun is light and thin so an older coger like me at 73 can carry it around the boonies.

So far from everything I've heard I'm loving this gun - I have already bought a bunch of extras for it already ---- and I don't even have the gun

Budk as a retailer is a legitimate site. I would have bought one, but they have a silly restriction to not ship airguns to my state.

They're a " legitimate " retailer who's been around for decades , I used to shop with them all the time as a teenager.
They're a trustworthy company and all, but 95% of what they sell is cheap Chinese and Pakistani flea market knives and wall hanger swords.
I drooled over so many pieces of junk in those catalogs and luckily I barely ended up with 1/3 of what caught my eye.

I wonder why crosman chose to release a new product to them instead of other airgun sites? Doesn't make much sense to me.

Budk just apparently had a standing order in line while others slept or others just sold out of what they ordered/got and most of us missed it. That would be my guess anyway.

Just, took the plunge and ordered the last 362 Budk had in stock, they said I should have it in the next 5-7 days. If this one lives up to the hype it may very well be the last pumper I buy for a while.

I also thought about the similarites in the piston the 362 vs. the Legacy 1000 and I was fully expecting the 362 to require a silicone based lubricate like the Legacy 1000, but in the 362 owners manual it calls for good ol' Pellgun oil. I used a little Mac-1 Secret Sauce on mine, but maybe a silicone based oil would also work well too???

Silicone should be fine for the pump cup I assume, but I always just use secret sauce or 30Wt on the pivot points and maybe a drop down the tube if it's a new/dry gun. Otherwise, enough oil from oiling the pivot points makes its way to the tube to keep those orings happy.

Silicone oil isn't much good for metal-metal contact, IMO.

I checked the net and found some in stock at Jay's Sporting Goods in Michigan. I think they showed 5 in stock when I placed an order for 2 on Monday.  Received them Wednesday morning here in PA.  $80 each and $15 shipping for the pair.
Serial numbers 700 and 702.  Shot a few pellets out of each one for function check, and both worked well.  The peep sight is located close to your eye, as it should be, but really is a poor thing to adjust. This is my only complaint so far.

Now available from Crosman....
Honey found me a 10% discount coupon and shipping is free.........

I'm watching to see if I want to get one of these.  I passed on my last 392 to one of the grand kids and I miss it. 

[Techie]

Crosman's web site says "Up to 700 fps" with lead pellets, so don't expect anything close to the 875 fps people seem to be hoping for.  That's "up to 875 fps" with alloy pellets, which no one uses if they want accuracy.  I think the claim to fame with this new 362 is that it is easier to pump than a 392. Crosman says less pumping effort than a 760.
