NEW Crosman 362

[avator]

How would that benefit if you still have to pump the gun and load a pellet between shots?

[avator]

Tracking says my gun just left Atlanta and will be delivered tomorrow.
The barrel is ready for ups pickup at Crosman and should be here Monday.
Plenty of time to get some stock data before the changes.
The way it looks right now, I will have a 5day weekend beginning Friday - Tuesday.
Looks like I'll have time to revisit several guns that have been neglected since my foray into PCP.

As I wrote,  "I just loved it. This would be a great opportunity for me and also allows my boys (lefty's) to shoot with me."

UPS lost contact w/ my C362 in East Syracuse N.Y. . They say to contact the sender about their replacement policy for the air rifle THEY lost. Which I did.

I still don't have a tracking number on mine. I was hoping to have it before the end of next week.

I'm starting to think we have "pre-ordered" our rifles.

I hope not but you're probably right.

I'm beginning to regret not paying a few dollars more and getting it from Pyramyd or Airgun Depot. It was in stock both places when I ordered from Crosman.

Update...
My gun is on the truck for delivery today.
The trigger is scheduled to deliver Saturday.
The barrel is scheduled for delivery Monday.
Tomorrow begins a 5 day mini vacation from work so it looks like I will have plenty of time to tinker before returning to work on Wednesday.

I think you are probably OK.
I ordered mine Saturday night and it is arriving today.  I received a shipment notification Monday i believe and tracking became active on Tuesday, only receiving an ETA this morning.
I had placed several assorted orders last week, different vendors and big three shippers plus DHL,  All were a day or so late and all tracking info was garbage.  Weird.

I'm not in a hurry to receive the rifle. The weather hasn't been great for shooting so I've been working on school work and had plenty of snow removal work lately. I was just glad to get the price locked in at $100 shipped.

Are the included pellets pure lead? At the very least they will be a cheap way to break in the barrel and chronograph some pellets. I have a few hundred JSB/CPUM 14.3's with bent skirts for that purpose as well.

I ordered mine around  7 am Tuesday and I haven't received tracking yet.

I shoot cast in .25 and .22, so I'll just melt them down if they're junk. If they are an alloy, I use them in my PB blend.

I'm off until Monday after next so I was hoping to get it by the middle of next week. It could still happen, but I I guess.

I mostly shoot cast NOE .22 cal hunters and have the .25 41 FN mold. A few days ago I bought a .25 NOE wadcutter mold from a fellow GTA member. The weather hasn't been great for casting or shooting, but I'm hoping to get a few nice days soon.

No PB stuff here, so alloy pellets just become chrono/break in fodder. A few H&N .177 Barracudas made it into the last casting session, but I don't think they made a big difference pouring a pound of lead.

Update to the update....
A very strong rumor has it (defined as a rumor from a very reliable source whom is in the know on such matters) that we will be shutdown from Friday thru Tuesday and I won't need to use vacation time as my salary will cover the time off. This shutdown is 2 fold in reason.
1) We are still experiencing a chip shortage.
2) A recent surge of that creeping crud is running rampant through our company. This round seems to be focused on office staff. The powers that be want everyone out of the office to do a deep sanitizing and 'cool down' period.

Where I work is one stop before our house about a mile up the dirt road.
I was outside enjoying a bit of cool fresh air and some sunshine when the UPS truck pulled in. I approached the driver and told him I could save him a trip up the dirt road and get my package from him now. I've done this many times in the past.
Well, it turns out they have 3 trucks in our area today and my package is on one of the others.
Oh well.... they kinda frown when I shoot BB guns in the office anyways....

Mine arrived last night along with a steel breech.  Installed the breech, Grav-Mag and a Bug Buster.  Six pumps with 14.3 CPHP yields 593-603 fps.  Eight pumps gets me to high 650's.  For giggles I tried a few of the 23 Gr NOE slugs at eight pumps.  they didn't group horribly bad considering I was just pulling them out of the tin, but cleared the chrono at 515-520 fps with two touching at 50 yards and the other three with 2".  I may sort some slugs tonight and see if I can get the groups to tighten up - not that I will be shooting slugs with it, but it's good to know it can be done.  Pellets grouped a little better but not as accurate as most of my PCP's.  This will be a GREAT squirrel getter out to 30-35 yards.

It would be wicked expensive, but getting an unchoked 23.82" LW blank made to fit the Crosman breech would probably send cast alloy slugs pretty fast. I saw on another thread the valve is identical to the 13xx series, so the hot rod valves should drop in. Combined with a longer barrel it could be a MSP slug gun, which is pretty unique.

I just checked my order on the Crosman website and my status is "pending" It's looking like you nailed it.

[avator]

Tinkering is all well and fine but here's where I am...
$99 for the gun
$40 in the trigger
$30 for the barrel
 I already have the steel breech and a few other goodies on hand.
I'll have $170 out of pocket in it.... well, not really because I sold another gun to fund it. But, that's the end of the line for this one. All in, all done.
I don't even want to admit how much I've invested in 'lego' projects in that past that I will NEVER recover.
