This is my C362...

[avator]

Oh yeah, I forgot the rule... pics or it didn't happen...

#782 with the stock .22 barrel is not giving me the accuracy results I had hoped for. I am getting 1/2 groups at 9yds compared to dead nut with #805 with it's 22" .177 barrel setup.
The plan now is to swap out the barrel with the stock .22 barrel left over from #805. If that don't give me any joy I will convert it to .177 with the 18" barrel. That barrel only leaves me 1/4 inch past the barrel band and no room for a front sight/muzzle brake.
That's not a big issue if the plan was to keep it scoped but, I want the peep sight option on both guns. I do have a solution in mind.... I'll replace the barrel band grub screw with one of the longer ones that came with the baker brass trigger... 


It's like the old saying.... where there's a will there's a relative....   no, wait...   nevermind,

I'm somewhat what some may refer to as a knuckle dragger. I got long arms. And believe it or not, with my bionic reverse should replacement and broken collar bone on the left and the torn up rotator cuff on the right, I tend to hang even lower than normal.... not that hanging low is a bad thing, depending on anatomic thereabouts... But in this case it's location, location, location.
Where was I ?    Oh yeah.... LOP.   
I don't know 'bout y'all but I sometimes feel like the 362 has a bit of 'child's play' feel to it.... enter the rubber baby buggy bumper mod. Not to be confused with the infamous elastomer bushing in the daisy 880.
Some time back I bought a pair of Maximus from our own "Rat sniper". Paul made me h#ll of a deal, as he usually does, on them. They came to me with modest mods, one of which were stock extension (for lack of a better description due to current BAC). One of the Maximus' has since been sold and the other has gone through extensive mods including a Boyd's thumbhole laminate stock. That negated the need for the 'RBBB'.
But wait, there's more.....
Turns out the 'RBBB' is a perfect fit for the 362... or is it that the 'RBBB' makes the 362 a perfect fit for me? It fits nice and snug on the 362... matter of fact, if you told me it was made by Trojan, I wouldn't be surprised. 
So, if you haven't invested enough in your 362, here is another option....

It's the stock Discovery muzzle break. It's temporary until I decide what I'll hang out there... 
I want to keep it short so a TKO won't do for me. I'm still digging through my spares to find something better.
These things take time.... 

Is this break round or does it have a cut out area for the Discovery air tank. I want a break that is round that can use the Williams front right. A pic would be great if you can.

Thank you very much for all your information.

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

David Said...
"Yes, and sometimes ours have to be gently tapped in. Remember that in any case of Crosman OEM hammer and pin slop, it may be because of tolerances on both the pin and the hammer."


I'll give one a try.

This break is not round and will most likely not work for you.

I swapped over to the Baker aluminum breech and MAP transfer port and lost a lot of power with a lot of "blow back" when I shoot. I'm going to see if the hammer is hitting the back of the probe, but I noticed a lot of hammer pin play when I was swapping breeches anyway. This rifle is a bit of a disappointment for me.

Update, picked up another 10 MPS by going back to the plastic breech with the stainless bolt probe and MAP transfer port, but still 10+ MPS down from where I was before. I'm not really sure what is going on.

Test number three was with the OEM breech and probe and MAP transfer port and no change from the previous numbers. Next thing is to swap TP's back.

The rifle is 100% stock now and my velocity is about 600 FPS at eight pumps with Crosman Premier 14.3's. I've lost another 35 FPS since I tested a few weeks ago. I think it's time to talk to Crosman customer service.

[avator]

Yeah, something is going on there.
Don't be offended but, what is your oiling routine?
I add a couple drops of Secret Sauce every hundred or so shots.

I put some pure silicone oil in all the lube spots before my first shot and then every 100 or so. Crosman says their own Pelgun oil is the only thing, but I've seen several GTA "veterans" using pure silicone oil, so I don't think that is the problem. Unfortunately I don't think I can return this rifle now that I've marred the barrel with the set screws from my baker breech, plus some of the bluing came off from having it up in the attic for a few weeks, which is frustrating.

Wayne, as always, very nice. I do enjoy your videos and I save on pellets because I feel like I'm pulling the trigger.

Mine is probably due for some more oil it'self, on pumpers either secret sauce or pellgun oil is what I use.  I researched pellgun oil quite some time back, it's actually diesel oil that's made in Austrailia which can be bought however not in small quantities, I ordered some from ebay abut 4 years ago which was a good size bottle, it does a great job too.  I completely forgot about a bottle of secret sauce that I have, I'll have to use that also.

Back about a year ago, I looked into Macs secret sauce and found that the YH compressor oil had the same specs. I have been using a 5ml syringe with a blunt tipped 16ga needle full of NUVAIR 455 for oiling air guns but I do drop pure silicone oil on all my o-rings and on the fill probe on PCP's.

Pellgun oil reduces to a sticky mess when it dries out IMHO so I don't own any.

 Being new to pumpers, what is Secret Sauce? I just used 10 weight Silicone oil on the pumper seal, is that good or bad?

Here's what it is Bob, it's good for pumpers, co2's, works good for the valves on them too.  https://www.mac1airgunshop.com/secret-sauce-10-oz-refill-size-p/m1ss6oz.htm
