NEW Crosman 362

[vigilandy]

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.

Thanks for the tip on Jay's. Ordered the 362 and steel breech. Steel breech was cheaper than anywhere else ($35) and as a plus the total shipping to CA was only $10.

As a bonus, customer service was superb.  Real person emailed me to confirm the order and I was able to ask her to add the steel breech to the package.

I had a slight bump with my order with Jay's but they kept me informed through their issue, and it is on its way  to me now.

ok. I bought one just as soon as Crosman had them listed on the Crosman page. For me, I see the 362 filling several needs. The one thing that worries me is the accuracy. I have PCP''s that shoot dime size groups at 27 yards, both .177 and .22 but something about this Crosman pumper really appeals to me.

Did you order from Jays today or a few days ago .. I don't see any on their website today  ?

 A few days ago , they had limited stock at one store, and had to transfer one to ship <goes to check tracking> hope it track straight. I will be doing a Buck Rail parts build with mine once I can see what they have that will work. I know I will be using their optic mounts, put a set on my 392 great solid, fit and plastic will not mar the barrel, or separate it.

I cast up a pound of wad cutters this morning with an excellent run today, I'll probably cast up another pound tomorrow because I ordered the 362 this morning, I always do a lot of indoor shooting with wad cutters this time of year  in my vintage pistols and they'll probably shoot really good from the 362 as well, they weigh about 16.5 grains average.

[vigilandy]

Mine was ordered Monday and had to be transferred from the other store as well.  Won't get delivery till next Wednesday.

after reading all the threads and a lot of deliberation... I will take the chance. there are a lot of possibilities with this one. with the discount code ordering from Crosman it was still under $100. I have the breach, scope, and LDC and dont have to spend any money there. I will wait and see how you folks address the plastic trigger and which one is a drop in replacement, but i will definitely want to lose the plastic trigger.

I really like what I see and the power is there. being able to do 3-4 pumps for what i need is perfect and hopefully... accuracy is there too. 

[Wayne52]

I ordered mine direct from Crosman so they can't switch stores because that's the only place direct from Crosman.  Now just the waiting for Crosman to send the tracking number is what I'm waiting on now

I’m kind of a crank about the Crosman model 1400.  None of the pumpers they made after the 1400 appealed to me.  I finally bought a 2100 and decided I was pretty much right about those post 1400 pumpers.
So I’ve been waiting a long time for Crosman to put a powerful .22 caliber pumper back in the line up.
The advertising even says the gun is recommended for hunting!  That’s a daring move IMO.
I’m content now to wait and let the teething problems get ironed out.  There will be a lot more information about the gun in six months time.

[Wayne52]

Carter my main use for the gun will be red squirrels so as far as a hunting gun goes, that's not really what I'll be using the gun for, it will be for getting rid of the recent rise in the red squirrels in the neighborhood, when I go to the state land hunting I'll definitely be carrying something more capable for far off shots that the 362 wouldn't be good for.  A hunting gun in my opinion is something more like my ChallengerSL which is a slug shooter doing 70fpe at mach speeds for some long distance hunting when needed.  The 362 will also be very fun plinking with as well.

[avator]

Shouldn't much of a 'teething' process. The gun is virtually assembled from time tested and proven parts.

[Wayne52]

Another thing that's nice about the 22xx parts last I knew they were still being manufactured at Crosman as well.  I wonder if the info with it says MADE IN USA

[Spooner]

I think for pellets, I am going to try and sight in something different than my regular "run to" Crosman Super Point" 14.3's. I have a tin of H&N trophy 5.53 and a tin of H&N trophy 5.55 pellets that didn't work out in a Crosman 18" / .22 barrel I bought for my last project. Both are 14.66gr so very comparable weight wise, and maybe this gun will do well with them?

I decided to take apart the modded 1377 that I don't use and go with the long steel breach it has rather than the short one I bought by mistake. I have a .22 bolt now in it so I am ready for the swap once the rifle arrives. 

The Super Points work fantastic in all my LW barrels. Going back to a Crosman barrel should be interesting. So basically, from what I am reading in the threads, is that everything above the pump tube is pretty much a 13xx platform... is that correct?

I received an email from Crosman this morning. Mine shipped with tracking number.

By the velocities that I've seen people getting with the 362 I'm thinking it will be ideal shooting heavy wad cutters. I won't really know until I put them over the chronograph.
They seem to be perfect out of my Master Blaster, in the past I've shot red squirrels in my back yard with great success, that's using c02.  I may even carry it out on the state
land when squirrel season closes for the red squirrels.  The batch that I cast yesterday came out really great with only 8 bad ones out of about 250.  I think it's one of the best
runs that I've had casting them because it's actually tougher casting these little buggers because the sprue plate hole is tiny in comparison to all my other airgun molds.  You
need to really keep the ladle clean for casting them.

                                   

[Back_Roads]

 I cast some of those up yesterday, ready for the big moment when I get to pump it up and pull the real trigger My casting skills were off a bit maybe my temp was a bit low with the current cold snap, so I had about 20 rejects out of 100.
  Tracking says it will be here today, but now I have my doubts.

[Wayne52]

James for casting these wad cutters after casting the first cavity I'll position the ladle for a little longer making sure the lead drains back into the ladle  good before pouring the second cavity. Also you can get good result by letting a little lead dribble out of it before casting the second one. The dribble method makes more oxide in the pot though.  Everything that I've been casting is lead from the lead pipe that was given to me recently which is more than I'll probably use in another 5 years.  I still have a giant pile of it sitting outside I won't even bother with till spring gets here.

The long delay made me wonder if some components are imported.  I ordered from Crosman too, just got email with tracking#.  I want it.  Now.

[Wayne52]

I was wrong about the shipper it's UPS.
