Crosman Couple of early ones I would like more info on

[THREEDFLYER]

Looking for info on these two, approximate date of production??

One is marked "140" and is .22 cal not sure about the other, possibly the Model 100, but it's obviously earlier production.

The other is a 102 or 103 you didn't state the cal.

I neglected to post photo of the other side of the receiver on the older one......it is marked as a .22 caliber

I do not see a serial number on either one of these.....Any idea of the approximate years they were made??

Your particular model 102 repeater is early 1930's. It will have a serial at the front of receiver, visible when the pump lever is open. Usually a Letter followed by numbers. Let me know what you find.

Took a look at the Model 102 and found the S/N to be D1872

Did not see a number anywhere on the Model 140...when do think the 140 would have been made??

Your 140 was made 1957-1961.

Thanks, I will make a note of that!

If you're in luck your 140 will have a 2 or 3 digit date code stamped on the breech plug. The first digit is the year, the 2nd or 2nd&3rd digit(s) are the month code. The finish on the breech plug should match the rest of the rifle. If it doesn't the plug is probably from a different gun and is invalid as far as your gun goes.

I am able to make out the numbers 117 on the breech plug and the finish on the plug does indeed match the rest of the metal.
So not sure how to tell the month/year with 117??

Once again I trusted my memory and got it backwards. Your 140 is the third variation which was made from '56 to '62. The date code is November '57

Thank you sir, I am glad to learn that the breech plug has not been changed and the date of production! Much appreciated!!

Thank you for the serial.
If you have a caliper tool handy, would you mind measuring the diameter of the thumb screw that holds the cover on?
There's two sizes _ either .503 (1/2") or .565 (9/16").

If you are referring to the thumb screw on the 102, it measures right at 1/2" or just a touch over.

The 140 pumps up and seems to hold air, but the 102 does not seem to be holding? I would imagine it needs new seals??
I found this kit online.....would it be correct? Anyone done this and can give me tips??
