NEW Crosman 362

[Spacebus]

The .25 barrel I'm planning to use is around 19 inches. I need to pull it back out of the breech for a good measurement.

Where did you source the barrel? Is it one of those Baker Airguns barrels that are no longer available?

I got mine from Alchemy Airwerks.

I excitedly searched for the website, but can't find any barrels. Maybe I'll just stick with alloy or non lead .22 cal pellets for my hypothetical 362. I ordered 2lbs of pure tin from Metal Shipper, so I'll be finding out eventually.

Mine wasn't listed on the website. Give David a call or send him a message through the website. He's a great guy.

He is also a GTA member by the screen name 'Davio'.

I assume you also need a .25 cal bolt/probe, is that something they offer as well?

Edit: I just fired off an email, hopefully I'll find out soon.

I've dealt with Alchemy Airwerks before and was always very happy with the results, I think they're based in England but they might have stuff here in the U.S. too I don't really know for sure.

The contact address is listed as Georgia.

I bought a stainless probe for my PP700SA, that was made in England by Alchemy and that's where it came from but that's when the PP700SA first came out.

I think that's a different animal Wayne.... Davio is from here in the US.
He is also needfulthings on Ebay.

Alchemy is located a couple of hours south of me here in Georgia. David told me I could use a .22 bolt with a couple of wraps of dental floss under the o-ring. My barrel is turned down to work with a standard crosman steel breech.

What about the tray/trough/groove in the breech? Any modding needed there?

Seems to work fine as is. I've got my barrel and breech mounted on my 2250 hpa conversion right now and I haven't had any issues with pellets feeding. I searched through my o-ring collection and found one that was a little fatter and slapped it on a 22 bolt. This gun is set up for low power but it's working so far.

I may wait for more people to convert to .25 cal and post their output numbers before I take the plunge. I'm still thinking hard about placing my order from Crosman. David emailed me and said he only does 18" .25 cal barrels and said you do need the Crosman steel breech. I asked if he could get longer barrels and all he said was "No"

My barrel came from him, and it's definitely longer than 18 inches if you include the part that's inside the breech and the threaded muzzle.

I mainly worry about losing power from losing the barrel length. Every few hours I keep looking at the c362 on the Crosman website, so I can feel that I'm close to committing to an order.

  I had good results on .25 cal. LW barrels using a Crosman .22cal bolt with a slightly larger O ring in metric size 2x2.5mm.  It passed the tissue test with no leaks.  The floss works under the stock O ring too if you get the wraps just right under the O ring.

I hope to be able to post some results with mine by the end of next week. It all hinges on how much care my wife needs when we get home from the hospital. I ordered this morning so hopefully it will be here early next week.

Mr. Baker sent me a tracking number for the brass trigger but, it's not in the system just yet.
Looks like we're making progress.

  Anyone know the length of the 362 compression tube?  I have been using 17" ones from the Crosman 2200 when I build a pumper and wondered if the new 362 ones are longer.

It's fun to watch you guys mod the C362 for a 177 barrel. Will be interested in the results. For me, it's too much work and I have a Maximus in 177 that happens to be a good shooter, more than accurate enough for me. My C362 is supposed to arrive around the 14th.

[NY-AirPower]

C362 compression tube is 20.62" long
