NEW Crosman 362

[EdinGa]

Has anyone ordered from Mountain Air Custom Airguns before? They have some of the better prices on aftermarket stuff for the Crosman guns.

I have but it's been awhile. I've talked to Roy on the phone and he seems like a good guy. I can't remember what I ordered but I think it was some valve parts or something similar. He's another one that's located here in Georgia.

    I have ordered quite a bit from Mountain Air over the years such as flat top valve and piston, LW barrel top end kit and cut down to carbine size Disco tubes.  All have been top notch products.  The flat top kit was the best I have tried from several makers. The way the flat top piston is designed the threaded rod adjuster can be replaced with any length rod to fine tune for custom tube lengths and, unless he has changed it, had two O rings at the front instead of one.

Thank you for both of your replies!


The prices for the flat top valve and piston are probably half of what I've seen from other vendors, which are supposedly not very good anyway. It will probably be a while till I upgrade the tube internals, since I don't know what I'm doing. Hopefully others will do the upgrades soon and take plenty of photos or videos.

Do the muzzle brakes do anything besides add bling and weight to the tip of the barrel? I've been looking for something with dovetail rails (or pic rails) to put on the end of the barrel so I can mount aftermarket front sights.


I also feel pretty dumb because I just figured out what everyone else meant about there being a windage adjustment! I see the lines and index on the top of the breech where you can adjust it side to side. For some reason I thought everyone meant the tombstone could be moved side to side. Maybe I won't go with a Williams Diopter and snag an aluminum breech instead. I wish this wind would die down so I can shoot this thing!

I really look forward to seeing how it goes for you.

 I am thinking along the same lines, just got theses in, flip up battle sights anyone I will line them up using Buck rail  Weaver barrel mounts.

I was thinking about doing the same thing, but going with dovetail. It's a shame the barrel band wasn't made with dovetail grooves like the SPA stuff, that would make it super easy.

Instead of the AR style sights, I'm also considering doing the Williams rear sight and getting a hooded Truglo front sight. The sun is out, so I may try shooting a bit to at least see if I like the factory sights at all.

Cool idea,  James! I have a few flip-ups from AR projects I can try out using the Buck Rail mounts in the mail today.

It was necessary to slide the sight a tad rearward to clear the bolt, but no big deal.

I was able to adjust it to shoot right where I wanted it to, but need better light to see my target.

All in all, it worked out well!

I had to adjust the rear sight back a bit to clear the bolt handle, but that was no big deal.
I need more light to see my target, but was stacking into one ragged hole to the best of my ability once adjusted.

It does have changeable inserts.

Too bad that Mr. Geo isn't making LDC's any more. He would put a dovetail on them for the front sights globes.

How much taller is the Williams compared to the OEM tombstone?

This is not a Williams...It is a Crosman 411

Asbestos I could eyeball with a precision measuring instrument (digital caliper)
the C/L of the front sight is about .588" above the top of the ramp at the base of the blade.
So..........subtract the height of the blade and there you will have it!

Mounted sighted in and I like Thinking about seeing if the micro-dot sight would line up as a co-witness.

Does this mean the buck rails sit pretty even with the steel breech dovetail rails? I'm torn between the Williams sight and a globe front or getting some AR style flip ups.

Today I shot a few groups but could not get enough windage adjustment. It's a bit breezy and the included Crosman Domed pellets don't visually look great. My arms will definitely be getting a workout! It's not as easy to pump up to eight pumps as I had hoped. I also managed to pinch the tip of my pinky finger where the pump forearm meets the rest of the stock.

The buck rail sit higher than the metal breach, I still have the plastic breach on this one, and use 1 BR mount front and 1 rear.
 As far as pinch points, I was just thinking I have not found one yet, guess you did.

[Firewalker]

I guess I didn't even think about pinching since I have had "clackers" all my life and instinctively keep all my fingers on the hand grip.

I'm close to ordering the Williams sight and steel breech from PA. Are they still doing the buy three tins and get one for free? The weather has not been cooperating for casting and I'm running low on my NOE pellets. I'm thinking about trying the H&N Excite WC pellets for a cheap 50 yard and less plinking pellet, some Predator GTO's (dead accurate in .177 out of my 901 and .177 Chaser rifle barrel), and maybe something else. I've seen folks are having success with AA and Crosman Premier pellets. Any other cheap and accurate pellets?

I can't believe the price on the Crosman "Essential" pellets that came with the rifle. Many of mine are dented up from the long trip across terrible roads. They could have at least put some foam in the tin for $10/each.

I'm fairly new to pumpers, with my 901 being my only other experience since shooting a friends Daisy back in grade school.

Mine was delivered today, and I ran home long enough to check it over. I must say I'm impressed for the most part. It does need some tweaking, but right out of the box (I didn't have time to clean the barrel) on 3 pumps it was minute of sweet gum ball at 10-12 yards with the factory sights and the included Crosman pellets. I shot 6 or 7 times on only missed once.
