But it is out of stock!!!!

I can only hope the pump linkage will last longer than my 1300 did. I will buy one anyway.
Quite the spread of velocity from 875 in the marketing schpeel to the specs page 685.
I hate marketing people. I pose as one, but better than theirs.

If it will get close to 500 fps with my .25 barrel and a 22gr wadcutter, I'll be happy.

Thanks for posting the link Ed.  I looked at the pictures on the website and found an issue.  Probably just my own personal preference but. . . .  I hold my (scoped) Crosman pumpers in front of the trigger guard with my left hand and work the pump arm with my right hand.  It looks a little odd but once you get used to it its really as easy as gripping the the breech from the top.  Judging by the pictures there is not enough stock in front of the  trigger guard for me to hold the gun that way.  I intend to put a steel breech on this gun and scope it.  With a scope on top and no room to grip the stock underneath I will have to develop a new pumping technique.
The 875 FPS is achieved with Crosman’s proprietary testing pellet made from a special alloy of Christmas tinsel and fairy farts.
And where is the “Pre-order” button?

Well it’s about time. Nice find. Maybe we will see it before Christmas after all.

Christmas... what year?

Any details on valve, pump tube/piston style and trigger group yet?

Its ok to leak these details, just blame me

Is that a peep sight I see on that gun?

[rsterne]

It is the reversible 22XX rear sight.... peep or notch, just flip it over....

If not available by Thanksgiving, I consider it a hoax...

If not available by Thanksgiving, I consider it a hoax...

Because nobody else is having delays due to the plandemic?

Plandemic  true !!!

Common, please appreciate a bit of sarcastic humor and don't take life to serious during this d**n panic.

I'm not sweating it.
Once it is eventually released it will probably be at least a year before I can actually buy one anyways.

Someone has to come up with a way to put a proper traditional wood stock and eliminate most of the plastic first,  once I know that's a possibility I'll consider buying one.

The solution is probably the same as how you built your little pumper. I’ve already started buying parts that would get rid of the plastic, we’ll in theory. It looks like the same trigger too.

My problem is that I usually wait too long. I end up being forced to buy the guns that I want, usually a couple of months before becoming discontinued. I missed out on a few like that.

All - The 875 is an "up to" with alloy pellets.  Marketing specs drive me nuts but I understand the "why" behind them.  We also have "up to" 700fps on the box with our 14.3s. You can expect numbers close to that at 10 pumps.  This rifle is sweet!  They pump easy and make good power. 

I am not sure where we are in terms of going into production.  We are getting close though.

I'm set up for in stock notifications on the Crosman site and every other site that has it listed. Take my money!

I'm guessing they have at least a couple test models at their disposal.

One of the perks of working here is I can get my hands on all of the latest and greatest products!  The lead engineer on this project sits right next to me.   We have 40 or so design pilot rifles to test.  So we have a good idea as to the velocity and pumping effort.

We have a rare insight to the goings on at Crosman development through John. In turn he gets to put a finger on the pulse of the potential customers in real time. Not only does he see our responses to what Crosman offers, he also gets to see first hand reactions to the competition.
This gun coming in at below $100 and the potential for personalizing it with all the things good that are available for the 'lego' aspect, be it Crosman parts or aftermarket stuff, is sure to be a hit. I think Crosman has done their home work on this one. And I think we may have had a little something to do with it.
How many times have we seen guns rushed to market? How many Gen II and even Gen III have we experienced due to bugs being worked out after the rushed release? I'm sure they felt the sting from guns like the Marauder and Fortitude.
John, do me a favor.... buy that guy next to you a coffee and doughnut tomorrow morning. Tell him it's from the folks at GTA.
