This is my C362...

Wayne, maybe so, I ordered them a week ago.

You have to get a little riggy with these peeps. The cross groove on the steel breech is too wide for the dovetail on these sights. What I did was cut the shank off the proper size drill bit and wedge it into the groove with the peep. These are great sights and are fully adjustable.
They also flip down out of the way if you want to add a scope or a red dot.

Bill if I had that pistol I'd be entering it in the "Crosman Pistol Airgun Owners" monthly 5 meter off hand contests.  I didn't enter January's because I was so danged involve with the frickin C362's . . . they're an awesome cure for us northerner's

I haven't quiet decided on the muzzle sight yet. I'll go through my parts and pieces bin to see what I have. I've also been known to rob from other guns....

Wayne, that's "Willie G. Stubbs" in .22. I also built it's blacked out "Twisted Sister" in .177.
They are just fun Co2 camp and trail guns. Willie G. is always on my side when mowing.

Even the old 150's can be some fantastic shooters, I should rig up one of the later 1st variant's I bought with one of the 2240 barrels.  I wonder if they're the same diameter   Probably close I imagine.

[Wayne52]

The barrels on the C362's seem to be a tighter bore than the majority of the 22XX's because you're aren't going to chamber the same BBT's  like I can in the Prod, Disco and vintage pistols.  Mine are both a little tighter bore.

Guys...
If you ordered, or plan to order the bolt probes from Magnum Power you might want to settle back and be patient. My order was confirmed on Jan 24th and tracking shows them in Conn. via USPS from Mass. That's 8 days to travel one state. I understand weather is an issue but, I'm just glad I'm not waiting on life dependent medications.

Mine hasn't shipped and I placed the order almost 3 weeks back.

Sorry for the delay... Betty Lou decided she wanted to go out for breakfast.

Well, I opened the trigger group back up (I'm getting good at it) and took a good long study.
After pondering my options and considering how many times I would have to open/close it to get just the right setting, I decided to leave well enough alone. The 1st travel gives me that 2 stage affect and, although it would be nice to have a little less travel, it's a nice stop and predictable snap to the break. The gritty feel is all gone and I like it just fine. I don't have a trigger pull tester but, if I had to guess, it's better than half what it was out of the box.
In the picture below you can see the over size, yet lighter wire size spring. (circled in red) The molded ribs in the frame 'trap' that spring and hold it in place without binding. The only other thing I did was stone and lube the contact points.... moly for contact point and some red grease in the pivot points.

I have a question? Well, actually a couple of questions.

My 362 won't fire.
I started a thread about it.
Firewalker suggested I take the barrel and breech off to get to the trigger sideplate.
I did that then I took off the stock and the sideplate.

My trigger assembly is now a jumble of parts. Obviously, I'm going to have to learn how to fit the parts together. The half inch long cylinders are a mystery at the moment.

While its apart though I might as well get the right spring to replace the stiff OEM spring.

..."over size, yet lighter wire size spring" in your post above doesn't tell me what the diameter of the spring is.

Say I was going to swap out the OEM sear spring in a 1377 with a lighter spring, I'd use a spring of 0.26 diameter.

[avator]

Jacob... I apologize but I can't answer your questions on wire size because I just picked one out of the springs I had on hand and snipped it off to fit.
Mine is going to be completely different than it is right now when I'm done with this new setup anyways.
Not sure what it is you are referring to as 'cylinders'. Do you mean the pins?

[avator]

Reply #20 in this thread shows a picture of the trigger group with the side cover off. It shows the Baker brass trigger and the oversize spring. But the pins are in the normal locations.

I copied that pic and am looking at it. I suppose the cylinders are the pins. Ok, except for the retaining spring and the stiff OEM spring, I think I can put it back together.

[avator]

Yes... those are the pins... you can see where they go in the picture. They provide the pivot points.

Right. Thanks. I figured that out. I'm still having trouble with the retaining pin and the stiff OEM spring. WAsn't there a nub or something on the trigger the OEM spring fits on? I'm not seeing that.

In the picture below, disregard the red circle.

In the green circle you can see the leg of the lawyer spring goes under and behind the sear.

I was calling the lawyer spring the retaining pin ...my bad. Ok, Upper end of the leg of the lawyer spring goes under and behind the sear...what does the lower end of the leg of the lawyer spring hook into?

Nothing yet.... once the stock is back on the gun you'll need to reach in there with a pick and move it forward before putting the safety bar back in. Then let it go and it rides on the front of the safety bar. This just may be the most frustrating part of getting it back together.... at least with my sausage fingers it is...

The lower end of the lawyer spring holds the safety pin in - after you put action back into stock - use a small screwdriver and pull lawyer spring back and slide safety pin in.

Maybe why gun won't fire - it will not fire without safety pin in place ( lawyer spring will not work )

I agree. That part will be tricky.
