NEW Crosman 362

[Wayne52]

Here's my latest number shoot video.

[Ronno6]

Anyone tried fitting the 362 mechanism into a 2260 wood stock?

I have ordered the 2260 stock.
We'll see what shakes out........

[Wayne52]

Ron I'll be looking forward to the results you find with the 2260 stock because I too would like some wood furniture for one of my C362's, you'll have to cut it up for the pump handle but with some patience you very well could succeed.

Yeah..gonna be interesting.
The machine work shouldn't be a problem...
Removing the forearm/pump handle will require drillng out some rivets.
Then, there's the method of keeping the handle closed.

So little to do....so much time!  Wait a minute.............REVERSE that!

[Wayne52]

I must admit though the polymer stock that they come with really is nice though, there's a lot to be said about wood furniture though

I was re-reading this passage from the hard air magazine article:
https://hardairmagazine.com/news/lets-fit-a-steel-breech-to-the-crosman-362/

"If it doesn’t snap into place easily, then something’s wrong. Try again! And maybe again…

Now insert the rear slot head screw in the top rear of the breech and tighten “just enough”. That will hold everything together while you finish assembly.

At this point we tried a “dry fire”, cocking the bolt and pulling the trigger. If everything works well, you can replace those tiny setscrews in the breech and barrel band. Tighten-up the slot-head breech screw, too."

My new steel breech for my 362 installed easily. Everything snapped into place. Inserted the rear slot head screw in the top rear of the breech and tightened it “just enough”.

Tried a dry fire and the gun wouldn't fire. I had put the new extension probe and handle in and I cocked the bolt to dry fire it, but the gun won't fire.

Help!

I need to install a longer probe I suspect.  I am getting a shotgun pattern at 33 feet. 6 inches or a bit larger.

I have installed the metal breech . I own 5 1322s , all have a metal breech . So I have a degree of experience with that .
Checked the crown , looks nice.
No obvious burr on the tp hole.
Oiled it upon receiving it.
Cleaned the barrel ( took it off and used hoppe number 9 on it.)
Checked the fps on my chronie , stays within 3 to 6 fps at 8 pumps. 671 was the average.

The only thing I suppose might be wrong is after reading this thread , I Checked the bolts length against the original bolt in the plastic breech.
I have a new extended probe on the way.

I have tested with crosman,  rws , daisy , and jsb branded pellets. Same issue with all.

Finally after nearly two weeks I received my new trigger from MAP. Installed it this evening but didn’t tap the trigger housing for the adjustment screws. That’ll be a project for another day. Looks good though

[Charly45]

Finally scoped 362 using 2 sets of crosman mounts.....3-9x40 scope....doing awsome with 14.3s out to 40y so far,will going farther here soon.. .still getting 710ishfps with the 14.3s at 10 pumps....trigger getting smoother tooo....

Will that trigger come back a bit when adjusted?

Note points regarding some members having issue with the green hammer spring spacer.

Then read this, especially noting bolt and hammer positions at different stages of assembly;

I was thinking that also as My Baker trigger sits much closer to the trigger guard when at rest.

[desertplinker]

like this.

[Charly45]

Intermounts seem to hold pretty good so far.

[Charly45]

Does anybody have any jsb 15.89 test info?? Such as groups and velocitys....would be much appreciated.

Ive shot.. all 10 pumps
Cphp 14.3  at 720fps. Groups great.
H&n.  14.66 at 705..great but right.
Excite 15.74 at 675 good but pointed
Vortex 17.75 at 645..very good but high left?
Jsb 18.13 at 740..probaly best so far.
All at 30yards in 20degree temps.

Thanx..

[Charly45]

Thanx

I was curious so I put the OEM trigger back in to see. And it looks like the MAP trigger actually sits further back. I just laid a ruler across the trigger guard so sorry it’s not super precise measurements. I also laid the MAP trigger on top of the OEM trigger and lined them up with a pin through the holes. The thin MAP trigger follows the line of back of the OEM plastic trigger.
I think if I install the screws I can adjust the trigger so that it sits back further. I didn’t realize there was a ridge on the back of the trigger housing. Not sure how I’ll do this. Not really wanting to do too much grinding on it. I though I had a tap but doesn’t look like I do. 😕 so this will have to wait for awhile longer

[MileHighAirgunner]

I believe I was getting some around 650-660 with the jsb 15.89’s with 12 pumps. My number of pumps probably isn’t going to mean to much to anyone else with our thinner air up here. The 15.89 did seem to group good. However H&N 18’s did great shooting in the 620’s but the H&N 15 did not do any good at all.

[Firewalker]

Even with the Baker trigger, I want to bring the blade back a little and reduce the pull weight to about 1 pound. I would like about 1mm of take up, a sharp break and 2mm of overtravel.

Thanks to you all for showing me the positions of the screws and the adjustments you can get with them. I hope to work on this some next week.
