H&L shot with a wadcutter.

I also delete BB capabilities of the guns. Adding the wood pretty much makes it impossible to use bbs anyways. It's best to block the passage from bb reservoirs to the breech with JB Weld or whatever. If not, pellets can get in there and jam things up.

Thanks Rion. I have a 2100 in Mesquite that looks great too. It's a bit glossy for my taste but it's a nice hunk of wood.

Wow, that's a beaut!

Don't mind gloss wood myself, unless it's not actually wood. On the wall with wood floors, it catches the lam and candle light well.

That being said, as Jeff has mentioned the dry, unfinished wood furniture on the Akela keeps getting better every time I clean it with Ballistol.

Anyhoo, I am tempted to look into wood for a crosman pumper. Gave my cousin my remington, which actually a legacy with a nickel painted barrel, but I don't think he uses it or would care if I get it back.

That said, I do already have and shoot my dragonfly mk1.

I shoot BB's through my Legacy 1000 cause it's a piece of junk.  I've never shot a BB through my 2100.  I's accurate enough for head shots on squirrels at 25 yards with H&N FTT and I don't want to jinx it.  I've got to take the clamshell apart on mine to install this awesome new brass bolt probe that Ronno6 sent me.  I might try some of Ron's trigger mods too and I want to do some thing about stabilizing the the mechanism better inside the clamshell.  I'm thinking a few strategically placed wedges that would tension when the clamshell is clamped together and prevent movement inside the clamshell.  Now would probably be the time to put wood furniture on it if I'm ever gonna do it.

I honestly believe that if Crosman would make a wood and metal pumper designed after these guns of yesterday and brought them to us in the $150 - $200 range they would make a killing on volume sales. I'm not talking about fancy new butterflies or $400 commemorative badge inlay limited editions stuff. Not even the cartridge trigger/hammer group and try to pass them off by naming them 342/392.
Give me a wood and metal pumper that I can do minimal improvements to such as smoothing and lightening the trigger. I don't need a repeater with overpriced junk mags that nobody stocks. And I don't want to buy a breech to replace a plastic one so I can securely attach a scope.
If it don't work as advertised out of the box, replace it with one that does, and you pay the return and shipping costs. And don't ask me to return it so you can repair it... I didn't pay for a refurb and I don't want one.
Make perishable parts available and affordable. Supply assembly diagrams and parts lists.
And last but not least...  answer the dam phone and emails.

I agree with you.

I feel like they should have made the disco/Maximus as a pumper.

I ordered some dove decoys. Hoping to use the 880 to get it done.

The c362 comes close besides not being a repeater.

I figure Crosman will upgrade the 362 in few years to keep it competitive.  The steel breech will probably be standard along with a model with a longer length of pull.  A slotted magazine like the 760 would be a cheap upgrade.  The 362 is a good gun and a worthy successor to guns like the 1400.  It's 9/10 of what I wanted from Crosman.  Put a wood stock on it and it will look prettier but it ain't gonna shoot one lick better.
