    Crosman 1968 Crosman 760 PowerMaster

    ^ That's cool! I had one many years ago. Found it at a flea market, fixed it, refinished the wood and gave it to my little brother. He kind of ruined it by replacing the receiver with a standard... I remember making the bolt knob on Dad's lathe. Cheers, J~

    Here it is in pdf form. Not sure if the printed manual is around. https://support.crosman.com/hc/en-us/articles/203360904-760-Owner-s-Manual-EVP-1966-1975 Cheers, J~

    Crosman 1968 Crosman 760 PowerMaster

    ^ Yeah, August of '68 for the tootsie-roll. The furniture and lack of scope grooves match that time-frame. October of '72 for the plastic stocked one above. Another nice example. I have a rusty one like that. An interesting bit of trivia. You can give 'em 25 pumps for even more power...

    Moving to Georgia

    I can't say much about Augusta as my time there was limited to extracting a '57 Rover sedan from a junk yard back in '81. We used long metal bars to move some other cars. (Dad needed it for parts.) That said, I imagine that the cultural difference between Augusta and Hawaii will be something...

    Crosman 1968 Crosman 760 PowerMaster

    Good story, Momo. Thanks for filling us in. Those were better times, it seems. If it doesn't have scope grooves atop the receiver, it's a '67 model. The receiver is zinc and thus doesn't hold paint well. Some of the bake-on stuff works pretty well, though. The barrel and pump-tube are...

    Crosman Crosman 160

    Welcome to the board. That's a cool rifle! https://www.jgairguns.biz/ probably has the part that you need. Heather should be able to help you. The china-made QB78 is a copy of the Crosman 160 and has a large following. There's a lot of info out there on modifications and improvements that...

    Try the cornbread and the biscuits and gravy. BBQ is a thing, too. Cheers, J~

    FedEx today’s delivery!

    Well... They delivered it upside down and I don't see any feet. Something's obviously wrong! Congrats! Enjoy. Cheers, J~

    What’s Applications Do You Use Your Airguns For?

    Personal entertainment and skill maintenance. TV sucks and building stuff doesn't. Cheers, J~

    Shooting bench NOT portable.

    Looks good. Heavier is better for a bench. Looking forward to warmer weather. I have some 1/8" angle iron to put together for the back yard bench. Cheers, J~

    Today’s post office delivery!

    It's nice to see that something besides bills got through! There's a certain magic that nothing but a BB-gun can offer. Enjoy! Cheers, J~

    2.5 oz C02 fill solution? For home?

    Those are very cool rifles! 300 shots from a fill is certainly nothing to sneeze at. There's a very good video on youtube about bulk filling the tanks on those. If you search for Daisy 888 you'll find it. Cheers, J~

    I have been officially shut down!

    Dang... I'm sorry to hear of this. Aside from encouraging you to search for ways to make the offending people move, I got nothing for you. Sorry, J~

    12 oz Co2 quality?

    Back in the mid-seventies I recall an occasional dead one. That was when a five-pack of Crosmans was all I could afford or find at the time and it was anger-making. Nowadays they all hold their gas (unlike me), so I guess we're getting our money's worth. I would like to check that video out...

    eBay restrictions on California buyers - I’ve had enough!

    Have you considered renting a P.O. box in Bullhead City (Az) and basing some of your online accounts out of there? I had some friends that rented storage out of state in order to still have things that the state of Ca decided it didn't condone. Yeah, it costs money and time, but its a...

    Crosman 1968 Crosman 760 PowerMaster

    I'd noticed that too. I don't think it could have been photoshopped, so they must have used a prototype for the photo shoot. I'd bet that particular gun is worth a bit of coin these days. I still hold a grudge for all the lima beans that I was forced to consume at that time of my life...

    Crosman 1968 Crosman 760 PowerMaster

    They did (and do) what they were designed for in perfect fashion. Including a free glaucoma test with every shot! I ran across this ad while going through some crash recovery files. Cheers, J~

    Chronograph With Bullet Hole

    Great thread! I haven't managed to hit one of mine yet, but there's still hope for the future. The Caldwell allows for a cable to cell-phone connection. Thinking that an angled metal shield in front of the display might be the way to go. Cheers, J~

    Beeman First Shot Out Of Beeman QB Chief

    Those are cool rifles. I've been in the market for a used one for a while. The plan is to give the barrel a really good cleaning and then fill it with a bulk co2 tank. That will keep the velocities a lot more consistent. With a little tinkering, over a hundred shots between fills should be...
