The Crosman OEM bolt handle broke on my 362 the other day. It was the bolt on the 2240 steel breech. Surprised the heck out of me. I immediately ordered a replacement extended probe and handle from ebay. It'll be here in a few days and I can get back to shooting.Mine was an aftermarket bolt, but thanks for letting me know because I was going to buy a Crosman bolt handle to replace it.

Arrow field tips come in the same thread size you have to shorten the threads so they do not go all the way through the bolt, and cause galling and sticki age.

These look perfect but the not so punny part is they are 11/32 and not 8/32.https://www.ebay.com/itm/EASTON-11-32-SCREW-IN-R-P-S-BLUNT-POINTS-for-ALUMINUM-ARROWS-SMALL-GAME-HUNTING-/172279309470?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0

[quote author=Wayne52 Jacob if this is the one that you ordered it's longer than the original bolt/probe that the 362 came with, mine actually lost about 20fps using this probe, the cost on ebay is $19.88 + $3 shipping, it comes from Alchemy Werks.

Could I take an alchemy air .25 cal barrel and have the whole thing turned down by a machinist to 7/16" like a normal Crosman .22 barrel?

Today I stumbled across his solid brass sight holder and thought it would be perfect in combination with the .25 cal barrel for a front sight fixture. I also have 2 lbs of pure tin waiting for nice weather and the NOE .25 WC mold should drop the ideal pellet weight in pure tin. Would make an awesome 25 yard and less game getter!
