Bring back the Crosman 600, who is with me?

[markjs]

I want one of these SO badly!  Why did they ever discontinue it?  If they brought this back as a "classic" don't y'all think they'd sell a ton? Even as much as $150, I'd sure buy one.

IDK how one gets something like this rolling, maybe an online petition to the company?

I guess I have big dreams, anyway, if you don't know what the 600 is, here's a video...



(Sorry, forgot how to post videos here.)

What would be even cooler, as well as cheaper/simpler, is if they made a .22 version of the Vigilante pistol, say with an 8" barrel, and perhaps a semi auto rifle in 22, either at minimum, like a 1077, or even better with a semi auto mechanism akin to the old 600 model. That does operate on gas, so I expect it would rob power, and maybe need 2 13 gram CO2s to get a decent amount of shots, but I really would love any of these guns.

Highly unlikely now that Daisy is at the helm.

The Crosman 600 is from another era.   It was (is) very different from anything Crosman has offered since or now. (notwithstanding the semi-automatic Marauder rifle).

I have two 600's.   It is less likely to see this pistol re-introduced than to see a cure for retina disease (which I am sufficiently unfortunate to also have).

Airguns like the Crosman 1077 are NOT semi-automatic - their functionality is double-action revolver.

Any relevant patents for the 600 are likely expired. So anyone could theoretically make it, it doesn't have to be Crosman. They'd probably have to call it something else though.

I think the market is there for this kind of gun and I've seriously considered pursuing it myself, but I'd rather spend my time and money shooting airguns than producing them.

I have a few Cr600 (five or six, not sure) and they are a ton of fun. Equally fun is the Cr400 (also a vintage) and it is, if you will, the rifle counterpart of the Cr600. I would love to see a current production of these two but realistically I don't think it will happen. The $150 price tag mentioned by the OP will be probably doubled if not tripled for a newly produced gun and not many will jump in the game at that price ( I don't think).

I have a 400 and always have trouble getting it to chamber; flat nose work the best, but it is still a chore.
The linkage is worn enough to be an issue.

I have learned that I have to carefully watch the pin on the mag to know if it loads correctly. Soon as the pin moves, slam it home.
 The linkage can go by just a bit otherwise. If I try to adjust the linkage, then I have trouble getting the pellet seated in the chamber.
 Other than that,it's fun!

The crosman 600 comes up for sale now and then on American Airgun Classifieds.  I bought two there and sent them to Dave Gunter to modify them a few years ago.

Crosman did also make a .22 CO2 revolver, does anyone recall the model name of those? I think they may be even more common than the 600, possibly cheaper and I'd be quite happy with one of those as well...

Just looked it up myself, the 38T.

Just looked it up myself, the 38T.

The 38T was in .22 in the early years, but most you'll find are the later ones in .177.
I can't remember exactly when .22 was dropped, but I know .177 is most common and affordable to find.
My 1977 38T ( I payed under $75 shipped, gently used in the box ) is .177
It has plenty of power and that power is adjustable.
