It's 29F now, by afternoon 66F expected, so good day to toss 760 parts in backpack, hoof it into town and match up what's available at hardware store for PowerMaster seals replacement. 1 1/2 mile walk to town provides daily exercise required by my doctor. I try to walk much as can (doctor's...

Yeh! Ya gots me beat 😄😁...I's concede da-feet!😉😊

I can't resist modifying and customizing whatever I've got, suiting my purposes. Installing carry sling on lightweight 760 PumpMaster provided me with a practical advantage, but I'm aware purists somewhere likely sneer in disdain lol 😏 Typically cast my own lead pellets (unless feeling lazy or...

From my perspective, PumpMaster previosly repaired is a simplification of PowerMaster currently being repaired. PumpMaster uses cheaper, lighter materials, while having fewer parts than PowerMaster. One thing is certain: both BB guns were headed for the trash, neither cost me any money, so...

Planning to "live long and prosper," anticipate becoming centenarian curmudgeon, living long enough to be a problem to my "rebellatives"...lols 🤣 I prefer for things built the old fashioned way: well built to last and sturdy enough for decades and be rebuilt. My millennial nephew sees things...

"J", it took some elbow grease cleaning off decades of residue, revealing an "8" followed by "0" stamped on front of pivot housing. Therefore August (8th month) year 1970 (where 2= 72, then 0=72-2=70)🙂

It is sort of amazing to me, that a BB gun old as this, still has parts available and it's build quality/design is such that it's able to be rebuilt ad infinium. The closest "parts breakdown" I've been able to comparison "parts match" with, suggest this PowerMaster model was manufactured from...

After introducing myself, decided was more appropriate beginning separate thread for troubleshooting/repair of Crosman 760 PowerMaster. I will be taking lots of pictures beginning disassembly, having blanket spread on floor below my work area, to catch any errant parts trying to make their escape 😉

You were right on the money, marflow 777, saying it'd take homework figuring specific model. Looking at parts breakdown from information you've shared, narrows down to similar 760 models which could potentially be, ID going by checkering/plastic molding, shape of stock & those sort of...

lol Agree, repair's probably a simple matter... Hopefully not like a smartphone, where you have to be smarter than the phone! lol 😉 Looking at both BB guns, seeing minor external differences, lending credance indicating internals similar, yet expecting minor variations?🤔 Repair parts ordered...

Thanks!🙂 I'll see what manual can find to download. The pumpmaster and powermaster look very similar on outside. Unclear of any variations on functionality inside? If the repairs proceed on powermaster as things progressed on pumpmaster, likely to be mostly matter of cleaning gunk and...

Recently my friend was discarding a non-working Crosman pumpmaster, which I resurrected and henceforth restored. Pumpmaster BB gun reminded me of my Crosman powermaster which was stored in attic, needing repair. Because pumpmaster was much lighter in weight, installed sling, deciding would...
