NEW Crosman 362

[Spacebus]

Well... 941 is having issues or should I say the new Baker aluminum breech was not milled correctly and the TP is not sitting all the way into the barrel so the new breech will not sit flush with the compression tube and the breech sits at an angle.

These are two different issues, not directly related but both exacerbate the issue. The answer to both is simple: The poly ice maker line mod.

I also had an issue with the incredibly soft breech screw that went through the rear sight. After I chucked it up and started turning the last 1/8" off the end, it caught and bent the screw... (sigh). I got it bent back but I need to replace it fo-sho.

So the 941 is down for today, I will get to town tomorrow for the poly line and get it all back together so NO shooting the 362-941 today. 

Also, just a PSA about the Baker aluminum breech, the bolt is super soft and I recommend changing it out when using the super stiff hammer spring of the 362 (bendy-bend-McBender).

I had a hard time getting my Baker breech to sit flat with the OEM or aftermarket TP

I see that this is an issue but because this in Mommas gun, I'm not going to settle for 'good enough' and will do the tube mod for sure to get it set down nice and pretty.

Hogged out a valve, opened ports, flat top piston just arrived in the mail today so by the end of this weekend I will have results.

Right now the consensus is that the c362 can't handle FT piston/valve combos.

 If less pumps are required to get to OE full power I would be happy, will find out soon as the parts I needed have arrived. I can see over pumping to be detrimental to the pump linkages longevity. Then again lets test that theory 

 If not I have a 1377 that could use a boost

Went to install my Steel breech and experimental TKO trigger yesterday and realized that my 8-32 tap was MIA (need it to use the original bolt). Ugh! I’ll pick a new one up today. For what it’s worth (and likely already been said) the 362 bolt and the stock Discovery bolt look to be the same part, aside from my Disco bolt being made out of stainless?

Just pumpers today....

Those are some sweet pumpers too.

Thanx brother...very happy with them..

Well I resized some of the NOE 218-25-RF slugs to .216&.217 and they might be a little more accurate but nothing like the pellets.  I resized some of the 22 cal BBT's down to .217 that I haven't tried yet.  They usually shoot pretty good at slower speeds, I'll have to go up in the attic for about 10 shots with them.

 . . . and C362 #00731 is now flat topped.
 I cut the OE piston off below the collar below the piston cup, drilled and tapped to 7/16 - 24 thread to match the Mellon flat top.
 back together Reached 700 FPS on 15 pumps with 16 gr. AA . Will do more testing when my arm has a rest


 It did fix my floppy pump arm issue when no air in gun.

[Charly45]

Any news james??...waiting patiently  lol

[Back_Roads]

 Todays plans were thwarted by a major headache I am  still trying to get rid of 

[Mickkk]

I’ve shot mine everyday since I got them I think.  😂  I’ve got them both sighted in dead on. Open sights and Bugbuster. They’re so much therapeutic fun for me I guess. Lol

   i know right except the below zero days i have hardly put mine down when i am blasting soup cans at thirty yrds in my backyard i forget about all mine and the worlds problems hour at a time there is something very satisfying  about hitting a bullyeye or making a soup can dance

Awesome post, David. You've really hit the nail on the head. Sitting on the patio, shooting those cans hung out on the back fence, trading shots and barbs with my son, making excuses when we miss... For those hours we both just forget about all of the problems in the world and our lives and only care about hitting that dang can

I'm sorry it's come down to this but with a chronic injury to my left shoulder and a remodeled right shoulder, I can no longer 'pump' an airgun.

I have sold miss 941and will be listing miss 811 with the Baker brass trigger tonight in the classifieds.

I will keep the 880's for the grandkids but the 362's are WAY to tempting since I always grab one and shoot a pellet everytime I fill the boiler..

I did that one last time last night and was rewarded with a sleepless night.

Guess I'm AUDI

I don't know how people with good shoulders can shoot them all day! Now that I have a "pony" bottle and can basically fill my bandit unlimited times, MSP's in general are becoming less desirable. Shooting an easy 150-ish pellets and only using 500psi "worth" of air really made putting my disassembled 362 into the attic an easy decision.

I love my 362! Fantastic guns, accurate, a good Wallop even at five pumps! I would probably buy a third and do some radical grip changes if I had my druthers but my shoulders will just not allow me to pump a gun any longer.
