NEW Crosman 362

[avator]

I think you'll have to clear some material out of the stock behind the trigger group to get a 2260 group in there. The 2260 has those screw nubs on the back of it.

In think the best approach would be to grind the back of the stock trigger frame flat to drill and tap the adjustment holes in it. Set your trigger adjustment with the stock off the gun and cut the excess screw off the back. You'll probably want to use blue loctite on the screws after adjustment. Then you'll want to drill and tap the brass trigger and insert a spring stop. (possibly an Allen head screw) You can see what you'll need by looking at the bottom side of the plastic trigger.
It can be done, just a bit tedious. Not worth the trouble for me, I'll just work with the plastic trigger and a bit of tinkering to get it light and smooth as possible.

Now.... if you look at Mr. Sterne's trigger mod, there is a 3rd screw mod in the bottom of the trigger group. Can't remember off the top what it adjusts but it should be an easy add in the stock group.
You can see it here in front of the trigger guard.

I just read on another thread that the 362 trigger
case is metal and not plastic, like the 2260. I haven't even noticed that. I'll see if I can drill and tap like you said.

Did you happen to save that link to Bob's trigger mods?

Look up one reply, I modified my post. careful with that one.. I think it really reduces sear engagement.

Jim, Ron, and Bill... right on all counts.

it is a hammer spring buffer and the long bolt went in too far (by just enough) and knocked off the end of the buffer causing it to float around inside of the spring. It did put
a slight bend in the end of the spring. I have a whole set of 13xx screws but they are either too long or too short. I had to remove the buffer as there was still binding. I have new OEM springs so no big deal there. I will be up a while going through my other screws looking for a shorter one. I may have to just dremel off a couple threads of the long one... just have to see what I have? I wont wrap this up until I have it sorted out correctly.

I did find a Crosman screw that was correct for this and replaced the spring. unfortunately, the hammer buffer has to come out. for what ever reason, it will not allow the cocking pin to came back, even with the breech off, to cock the gun. The cocking pin has some slop in it and it wiggles in the hole in the hammer and that might be why? for now... the buffer has to stay out. I took out the brass hammer spring guide from the PA on the 1377 I tore down for parts and put that in place of the buffer. Everything seems to be nice and smooth now and no issues with cocking. Now to get it back together and test it assembled.

Here's a video I published on youtube today about my C362, the gun is definitely a winner.  When I looked where the breech screw is on mine it looks the same as the spare steel breech that was originally bought for a 2240 so It should work fine.

Tracking on my 24" .177 barrel says Monday but, I see it's 40 miles up the road at the UPS facility. Maybe it will arrived today. That would be fun.
I think I will begin my own thread on this thing to maybe spare some confusion among builds.

It's definitely loud with this shorty .177 barrel.
Loud don't bother me... just Nancy Boy Rambo...
Boss lays under my feet when I shoot, she is fearless.

Tracking puts mine here Tuesday and I've got a handful of parts that probably aren't usable. Oh well, I'm going to shoot it anyway. Loud isn't an issue where I live.

Gonna let it warm up a bit. About 8F as it was delivered by a ninja or something and sat on the porch a good while.

In my brief experience with air rifles a shorter barrel is louder than a long barrel on the same platform, all other things being equal.

I am finding the Crosman 14.3 gr CPHP to be an accurate pellet in my C362. It's sighted in with them. Nothing but hole touching hole groups or hole in hole groups with that pellet.

Imagine that? And, they're only $6.24 this week at Walmart for a tin of 500 pellets. I think I'll order 10 tins of them this weekend.

Not far. Same 10m distance nearly everyone else seems to be shooting at. Way too windy to shoot outside today. It's been steady wind like this for a couple of weeks. I was able to get my Winchester 1977XS sighted in at 25 yards using RWS 8.3's about 4-5 days ago when the wind slacked off for an hour. That's all the outside shooting I've done lately.

It would make a lot of sense for Crosman to make barrels that shoot their pellets well. I've got a boatload of cp 10.5 and CPHPs, so I'm happy to hear they are working well.

Me too, in regard to the 10.5 and CPHPs. I'll be checking 50 yard accuracy with the 10.5 next in my 1977, (if the wind will ever slack off...). I'm sure most of us have a fair amount of CPHP's. Oh wait ... the cphp haters gave all theirs away.

Oh well. Good thing they're cheap to replace.
