NEW Crosman 362

[Rick67]

LOL... but I'm not crazy enough to pass on Betty Lou giving the nod for an airgun.... lol

Order placed... discount code WELCOME10 expired so I paid the full $109.

Still works for me.

Probably it is a one-time time offer.

COMEBACK10 also works.

[avator]

Oh well... the gun is well worth the extra 10 bucks.

I hope CROSMAN does not increase its price!

Always been a Crosman pumper fan.
S/N 816 just arrived. This gun has some "Zip".
Added Crosman steel breech and some "Glass" in the back and a "Hush Kit" upfront.
Tree Rats best leave the area.

I love your optics setup, looks like a magnifier and a CCO type sight. I've been thinking about doing something like this. Especially if the magnifier is the same size as a rifle scope eye bell. That way I could mount a night vision setup.

Mine is definitely pellet picky...but I am happy with it considering it still hase some break-in and tweaking to be done.
Everything at 10 Yards, 5 shots per group.  The 13.7 domed group in the bottom left was 8 shots or so, just to verify zero.  I had planned on shooting that style again.

At bench, using bag as hand support up front, no back bag.  4 Pumps.  My eys are getting old....

Here is my preliminary data so far for my first shooting after cleaning the barrel and centering the sights. I started with 2 pumps and increased the pressure one pump at a time. Yes, I broke the laws of the universe and went all the way to 10 pumps (*GASP*) just to see what I would end up with. I had some interesting outcomes and I was thrilled with the consistency of the group sizes across the board.

I am not posting the targets, this was not about accuracy at all, I was getting more blur every shot I took so as long as I kept the black dot in the center of the sight, I knew I was in the middle so the center to center sizes stayed relatively similar.

All shots were made with the widely available Crosman Premier Hollow Points, 13.9 gr at 10 meters from a light weight rest.

Here we go!

2 Pumps, 375, 379, 358, 373, 364  =374 average *.55" ctc

3 Pumps, 449, 457, 452, 459, 455  =454 average *.64" ctc

4 Pumps, 518, 500, 484, 507, 519  =505 average *.48" ctc 500!
5 Pumps, 549, 549, 567, 570, 582  =563 average *.64" ctc

6 Pumps, 593, 611, 596, 581, 598  =595 average *.60" ctc 600!
7 Pumps, 583, 585, 606, 587, 626  =597 average *.47" ctc

8 Pumps,  668, 668, 673, 671, 668  =670 average *.35" ctc

9 Pumps, 653, 685, 659, 653, 661  =662 average *.44" ctc

10 Pumps, 702, 702, 705, 706, 707  =704 average *.30" ctc 700!
These two were an eye opener, 8 pumps seems to be the wall then we actually hit 700 fps at 10 pumps! WHOOT!!

Did I miss the pellet weight? Thanks oops ok see it now

[Back_Roads]

 Yup it has been awhile since I shopped at Crosman, COMEBACK10 worked for me on my 2nd 362 

[superchikn]

The 362 original rear sight does not appear to be compatible with the long steel breech.
The rear sight is flat on the bottom and the breech is round.........
And the mounting screw is not long enough.
What am I missing??

I have searched the various threads on this gun and did not see any mention of this..

No Ron; the OEM 362 sight will not fit on a steel breech. If you want a peep sight it will have to be one of these or an equivalent.

This is the one I'd use if I was going that route:
https://www.airgunsofarizona.com/sights/williams-fp-ag-tk-aperture-sight/

Just put a scope on it. Mine weighs around 6 lbs with the Hatsan 3-9XAO I put on it and its so balanced I can practically shoot it with one hand.

It will fit on a Baker breech but the factory screw is not quite long enough for the sight, and a little to long for the breech without the sight.

[superchikn]

Well mine was looking real promising at 6 yds offhand, open sights and newly installed scope as of last night.  Hole in hole with CPHPs and even the silly "essential" dome they included.  Wow are they ugly looking pellets?!


Today I got to shoot it at 30 yds and I may have a shotgun. CPHP groups of a few inches. JSB 15.89 were slightly better. 
Need to try a different scope and to check the barrel for burrs etc, but I was really shocked at how bad it looked.  I was rested front and rear.

That's an easy fix. Do you know approximately how long it needs to be?

Hang in there Ray maybe you just need more pellets down the barrel to season the barrel? Might take a tin or more.

I don't,  I just machined some material off the top of the sight and installed it.   I have a scope on now so I cant check it until I pull the scope off.  Sorry. I would guess an 1/8" longer than stock.

I don't like shooting pumpers enough to put a tin or so through one only to possibly find I need to work on the barrel, or that the barrel is bad.
But no I am not giving up on it.

Which is getting more attention: The Crosman 362....or that virus we can't discuss ?

[avator]

Hopefully the gun on this forum....   

[avator]

It's something we can all enjoy together in these messed up times and have no contact with each other.

[desertplinker]

Excellent point Bill. Although I wish someone could stop by and fix my Trigger. I can't even figure out how to get the safety out. Trigger is horrible but I don't want to take the gun apart and stare at the pieces for the next few weeks!
