NEW Crosman 362

[Spacebus]

DJ, once that large screw is out and the safety cross bar is remove the stock comes off.... it's a really tight fit but it will come off.
That said, make sure you get it just as tight when you put it back on. And I can tell you from experience, after a dozen or so times of removing it and putting it back on, it gets easier.... 

Oh yeah.... be sure to move your coffee off the bench before popping the tight stock off..... don't ask.

I feel even more dumb now LOL! How does the safety come out? Is it just as easy as pulling on it? The action must sit in there really tight because it didn't budge when I was trying to pull it out of the stock earlier.

Behind the trigger there is a slot that runs up and down in line with the trigger in the inside of the trigger guard. You have to reach in with a pick and pull the lawyer spring forward to let the safety fall out the big hole side.

I've got it torn down as far as I can for now. Need to get a roll pin punch set. The hammer pin hole does not appear to be perfectly round, so that explains the slop. I put a small flat spot on the bottom of the pin with a pair of needle nose vice grips and I had to turn it to get it tightly fitted in the hole. It still comes out, but needs a bit more force now. Will probably leave it torn down until I can get the roll pin out. I might check the local hardware store for a kit.

Just fair warning.... that safety is frustrating to put back in until you get the hang of it....

It is not threaded - certainly not in the past.

If you could drill it out clean, and sleeve it (the ID will be too large), and accurately thread it; then it would be ready.   More a labor of love than getting something else.

I did drill it out and retapped it to 10-32. I threaded the broken handle to 10-32 and it’s a stubby handle but will work.

I tapped mine to 8-32 and have the stock 2240 handle on it,  I told how I did mine a while back, I used a dremel on the riveted side of the handle, drove it out with a punch, ran a #29 drill through it and tapped to 8-32, perfect fit.

I did one too Wayne... I haven't even pulled the MAP bolts out of the ziploc yet.

[Wayne52]

Bill I might even get out in the woods with mine tomorrow, I'll be using "Hunters" at 8 pumps with it.  Hopefully it won't be raining when I get out there   That temp is on the rise right now.

My Brother is coming for a visit this weekend.... I haven't seen my Brother in more than 30 years. Don't even remember the last time. He and I have way different lifestyles.... 
But, he's coming anyways.. should be an interesting visit.

You are NOT going to believe this!

Momma asked if I had any new guns so I showed her the 362 and when she shouldered it, she cooed. Yes, cooed! A second one is one its way now, she is in LOVE with the Baker brass trigger and the LOP the 362 has. The down side is that I think I lost 811 and I get the new one. 

What's that list of stuff I got to build this one with?

David they REALLY are fun guns to tinker with, I've been well versed with the 22xx platform for quite a while too.  Super easy guns to work on IMO

Wayne, I discovered that for myself over the past month. Baker trigger, trigger spring, sear spring bend, LDC, 4X32 and clank damper. I think I am going to have to paint hers, black is not her color.

I don't remember the brand, but it's one of the rattle cans that bonds to plastic and its holding up well on my wife's Daisy 35. Can you guess her favorite color?

Momma likes earth colors, I'd show you but no PB on GTA.  Looking at browns, tans, etc. I have the cans already, just have to strip the gun and set up the masking. Oak leaf camo is the desired color scheme.

Wayne, I can't recall, did you change out the trigger, if so, what did you use?
I see all kinds of pro's & con's about the baker trigger,

[Wayne52]

Bob the trigger is stock, the only thing that I did was polished the friction point's and it made a big difference, still thinking about a lighter hammer spring yet.

Wayne, thanks. The plastic stock is great for a low cost AG, but I'm not sure that I can accept the plastic trigger.
I have to give some thought if I want to replace it with a metal one. Did anyone get the Baker brass trigger to function?
