This is my C362...

[avator]

Yes Bob.... Wayne may still be getting his beauty sleep.... LMBO

... or maybe he's stuck up in the attic?

[Wayne52]

Yes it is, Bill is supposed to be getting a couple of the MAR bolt/probe's that look virtually identical to the bolt/probe used in the C362.  They're out of stock now though, if I put a steel breech on the last one I bought (haven't even had it out of the box yet) I'll remove the riveted in handle from it, drill and tap that one too, I might even do that even if I don't put a steel breech on it.  Right now I've got some good clean lead warming up for casting more "Hunter's" for some more shooting in my attic.

[avator]

I did receive the 2 MAP bolts but I haven't used them yet. The stock one I tapped (like you are suggesting) is working just fine. I plan on getting back inside #782 today. I may use one in that.
#805 is done.... for now... 

[Spacebus]

I need to get up into the attic and do some more shooting soon, it's been weeks! Once I can figure out if my gun leaks or not I would like some power mods.

Here are the 2 different hammer pins I have. I tried the thicker one but without making the counterbore on the hammer deeper it won't slide in the tube under the pin slot.
That said, I'm not sure if drilling the counterbore deeper would let the bottom of the pin interfere with the spring. I think tapping the hole and make a new pin would be the best option. You won't need a shoulder on the pin if you use thread locker.

BTW... I think the thicker pin is from a 2240 hammer.

I see what you mean. That's a shame as that thicker pin looks like it might have been perfect otherwise. Thanks for the pic.

Back down in the mancave on this brisk Sunday morning. There is ice on the puddles in the driveway so it fired up both propane heaters to knock the chill off.
Think I'll put on a fresh pot of coffee while things are warming up.

The plan is to get back into #782. This one is virtually stock .22 save the steel breech and Baker trigger. I did add a TKO but I don't find it's a 'must have'.... at least not for me.
I am going to install an MAP bolt to it. I also want to check that hammer pin and see if it's as sloppy as #805.
I've never had the end cap off of this one so it will be interesting to see if it has the green booger in it.
#782 has the exact 2-6x32 AOEG Buck Rail compact scope on it as I have one #805. It will also get the 10/22 flip up peep sight.
That is such a sweet setup.... You can just flip the peep down and pop the scope on... no need to remove or readjust the peep. And if you put a small mark on the breech to align the scope when you put it back on, it's virtually spot on POA. Maybe a click or 2 on the turrets if at all.

I think that thicker one might be from a 2240 hammer. The 2240 hammer is a larger diameter than the 13XX and the counterbore could be deeper. I'll have a look.

In between shooting and tinkering on #805 yesterday, I put a new scope on the remaining 392s, one I could bring down to focus on the 9yd. target inside the mancave. It's not quite as accurate as #805 362 but I probably don't have 100 shots through it yet and it may need some more breaking in. The 392s are known to have over spray in the barrels so that might also be an issue.
You can definitely feel the difference in pumping the 2. I also think the 392 nets me the same power with 4 strokes as the .22 362 gives with 5. The chrony will answer that question.
IMO, there are unique advantages to both guns. Maybe once I'm satisfied with the 'tinker' results of #362 and get the 392s broke in and hitting POA I'll do a side by side comparison.

These might be a good cheap option...

I emailed Davio to ask if these pins of his addresses the pin wiggle? Will let you know what he says. 

[avator]

That would be a great question to ask.... thanks

$15 for a hammer pin is just too much

$15 for a hammer pin is just too much 

not necessarily ...
When you don't have the means or skill to machine it yourself and someone else does... you pay for that  . It is a lot cheaper than spending $45 for a custom hammer and pin... when all you need is the pin. 

[Wayne52]

I wonder how much Crosman gets for hammer pins   I've never bought any before, they're the ones to buy from IMO, it's when you get into the custom aftermarket stuff is when it gets pricey.

All use the same pin - part number 2100A011

 I was just rebuilding a Crosman 1400, it has a beefier hammer pin and breach screw     

[avator]

That may be where this fatty came from James.

If there comes a need to replace it, I'm going to tap the hole in the hammer and find a screw with a shank on it. I'll cut the threaded and shank ends to length then loctite it in. I sure miss my mini lathe... maybe that should be the next thing on my wish list.

[avator]

I have #782 all back together but I've just been summoned to the house for breakfast.
I'm not inclined to be late for breakfast..... 

[CraigH]

I sure miss my mini lathe... maybe that should be the next thing on my wish list.

The sale of my first mini-lathe turned out to be a mistake.   But the sale was part of a plan - that did not work out.

[avator]

Happens to the best of us Craig.

I don't know how it can get any better than this....

We got the big screen hooked up so we can watch the NASCAR opener on a brand new venue... LA Coliseum.
It's nice and toasty in here.
We are surrounded by airguns with a 9yd. plinking setup.
.. and the orange Power Aid moonshine creek water is flowing freely....
