NEW Crosman 362

[Wayne52]

When I was reading this topic I figured I was over due for putting the bugbuster back on the 362.  I set the target upside down but figured what
the heck I just want to get it sighted in good enough to do some back yard pesting.  I think that where it's at it'll be good for eight pumps in the back yard.
These shots were all done with four pumps using my cast wad cutters@30ft.

It sure was muggy and hot up in the attic.

Wayne, very nice shooting. I am very impressed with the 362 as a low entry AG. I added front and a rear adjustable peep sight
To mine and it also is a great and consistent shooter which seems to work great for my aging eyes.

Im wanting to swap out the breech and valve in the 362. Does anyone know a good resource for dissassembly/reassembly? Or are they pretty simple to pull apart without a diagram?

They are pretty easy but the first time it can be a little tricky, just look up Crosman 1377/1322 vids on Youtube they are almost identical as far as valve and breech work.

Bob I've got two of them, the other one is staying stock with the peep sight, I really do like the peep sights that come on them too.

Well Im not these guys….but to me similar to working on a 1377/22 or a 392/7…..good luck..

So far no schematic/parts diagram…that Ive been able to find…..crosman  doesnt even offer one …………..yet…

 I helped write this thread, only thing different from a 13xx is the green bugger. Other tips and tricks were tried out and added to this thread for the most part.

I still need to get a roll pin punch set and take my valve out and see why it's not working right.

Both  guns were/are fun…we laff/we cried (me and the guns)…..Ive moved on      ….good luck

 Yup fun enough to keep me from fixing my compressor for over 2 months

They will remain in my arsenal but, to be honest, it's just too dam hot out here to be pumping one up for every shot.
This is PCP weather baby.

Bill I am probably going to take mine on the state land soon, I haven't had it out there yet.  I'm sure it would do a number on a red squirrel.

[Blowpipe Sam]

Instead of buying a new 362 I spent my tax return on another vintage 1400.  I’ll get a 362.  Eventually. 
I’m getting 14 fpe from my 1400 so I don’t see the 362 as much of a step up.  I’d have to put a wood stock on it and a steel breach and at that point I’ll probably have $300 sunk in it.  I’ll get one.  Eventually.

I was hoping they would carry more enthusiasm so someone would make some custom wood for them.

I bought a wood stock for a 2260 with intentions to fit to the 362 but haven't got to it.....

Is Anyone working on a lighter trigger or a trigger other than plastic

Is Anyone working on a lighter trigger or a trigger other than plastic

there are a few different options but only 2 that are metal.

the Baker brass trigger with a couple alterations is a nice option...

the other option is the Magnum Airpower metal trigger which is plug and play...

Neither are plug and play.... you would need to drill and tap for the adjustment screws and there is not much material in the area that need modified. Best do a little research before jumping in.

I honed all the contact points in my trigger mecha, made a big difference.

my bad...
The Magnum trigger will work without the adjustment screws but it would be no different than the OEM other than being metal. To make it adjustable, you need the adjustment screws added in. I did the two rear screws and a third in the front for the sear.



There are a few threads on the 362 trigger and how different people did it but like Bill said... best to research those and decide what works best for you.
