NEW Crosman 362

[EdinGa]

Man, every time one a youse guys decides to post to this thread and it pops up on my "show unread posts" link, my heart skips a beat.

But I don't think my heart can take too many more of these ungratified skips.

And I'm always feeling the weight in my pocket from lugging around this brand new heavy solid steel unmounted breech I already got for it months ago.

I just likes ta keeps it nearby for fondling.

So please please let the next post be about how the 362 is NOW IN STOCK !!! 

I'm right there with you. I put my breech and .25 barrel on my 2250 hpa. I'm happy to say it likes my home cast wadcutters, but it still hasn't eased the anticipation of a pumper.

Don't feel too bad, I bought a new .22 steel breach in anticipation of the 362 release.

I’m going to cannibalize my 2240 for the steel breech.  It can wear the plastic one from the 362.

How difficult to make the Stormrider a .25?

 Hmm Airgun Archery fun sells an Artemis  16" .25 barrel I assume a .25 breach may be something he could get also,. has me thinking my Artemis pumper could live as a .25 single shot pumper, glad I didnt put the barrel on my PP800 .25 yet, food for thought, whil I wait for that new Crosman thing to land on my doorstep

Back it up a bit, guys! YOU PUT A .25 CAL on a .22 pumper? PLEEEASE!!!! Tell me more! I keep checking the Crosman and NOE sited almost daily and it is getting a bit frustrating.

I've got a breech and .25 barrel, but I'm waiting for the 362 to come out so I can use it.

I didn’t. But if I had an LR700 to send to Hector....

Like brew I am all ears about a .25 pumper, would be wild.

I think I'll be able to resist the 362 urge. I already got lots of little lego pumpers.

True that.
Once we get this move done and settle life down a bit my plan is to revisit some 100 airguns we have. I'll have a climate controlled indoor testing space to do this in. That should help keep the 'gotta have it' urge down a bit. But seriously, the only upgrade I see over my current lego pumpers is that stock set.

I'm already figuring out ways to modify the 362. It looks like a 2260 wooden stock could be modified to fit the 362, and add a steel breech of your choice of cal. and it should be a sweet little airgun.

Yep, and if Crosman let's us down after teasing it, they won't be getting any more of my money. This is a chance for them to do something good.

My biggest concern is what trigger will be in it. I keep hoping for something a little more refined.

[avator]

I think for less than $100 they'll be giving us, at least, some bare minimum with lots of room for upgrades and improvement. This seems evident to me simply because of the stock plastic breech. I don't expect much more than the simple disco/2260 trigger group.

Some variation on the 13XX trigger I suppose.  With the intended market and the projected price I can’t see Crosman putting a Marauder trigger in it.  I will hope for a trigger that is upgradable.

The 2260 trigger would be a nice place to start though.

[avator]

Yep.... just by looking at images of it I don't think the 13XX grip frame and trigger will work on it.
Probably more like the Disco/Maximus style. There are a couple aftermarket options for that style.

[mobilehomer]

From the looks of it, the Disco trigger group. I can see easily a Challenger/MRod trigger and steel breech. Also there will be plenty of piston mods, I am sure.

[MileHighAirgunner]

Well, for what it’s worth Midway USA now has an estimated in stock date of October 7th.

.177 24" and 26" barrels, check. .22 24" and 26" barrels, check. Long breach with .177 and .22 bolts, check. Baker brass trigger, check! Patients to wait until it comes out,
