Hello Ladies & Gentlemen,
I have an old Crosman 150 that I received from my Grandfather many moons ago. I recently decided to purchase some CO2 cartridges and try it out as I wanted to teach my children how to shoot it as they have been having a blast with my trusty Red Ryder.
So I loaded a cartridge into the pistol, closed it up and took a few shots. I noticed a sound coming from the pistol and the cartridge chamber was getting very cold so I decided to take the cap off to inspect (yep that was a mistake) and as you might have guessed the cap shot across the garage faster than squirrel on fire. Luckily the cap didn't hit anyone, but even after turning the garage completely upside down and kicking the neighbor's cat I can't find it
2 questions and yes, I understand that I'm not an expert and don't claim to be in this.
#1: Is the chamber supposed to pressurize that way? I thought it would draw the C02 directly from the cartridge and not fill the chamber it was in.
#2: Does anyone know of where I might find a replacement cap for my Crosman 150? I have searched eBay and various other sites for 1 but have turned up nothing.
Thank you all for your time and assistance. Also, I didn't kick the neighbor's cat.
