Crosman Crosman 600 Pellet Pistol First Version?

[Michael_CaneRidgeTN]

First time post! I have come across a pistol I had as a kid. The Crosman 600, made from 1960 to 1970. I believe this to be the first version with a early serial number. Can anyone confirm this for me? Thank you. The seals are all like new and it operates perfectly which I was surprised to see. I got it from a collector of all things gun related in Nashville. It came in a Crosman 150 PK Shooters Kit which isnt correct of course but also rare and sweet to have. Let me know what you think about this one being the first version first variant.

Thank ya'll from Nashville
-Michael

Mine is the most impressive older gun I've owned. Hard to believe such a neat gun like this existed back then!

Given the serial number and early safety, it appears to be a first variation. How ever, the piercing pin tube cap is from a third variation.

Its possible that the trigger/sear assembly was converted to a third variation. If you take off the grips and very gently remove the side plate, and post a picture of the assembly, one of us can tell you what you have. After removing the side plate, don't try pulling the trigger; if the trigger is pulled, you will probably loose some springs.

Your 600 doesn't have any third variation trigger/sear parts in it. When Crosman adopted the third variation piercing pin tube cap, they added several additional parts in the trigger/sear assembly to prevent the gun from accidently firing while the user was slapping the knob to pierce the CO2 cartridge.

Comparing your bottom picture with the pic I posted, the Crosman nomenclature is cast into the cove on your first variation 600 but stamped on the lower frame on my third variation gun.

Correct, the only third variation part is the piercing pin cap.

OP, that is a very nice C600. I don't believe that serial number are an accurate means to to date a 600, but I could be wrong. There were three variations and the first & perhaps second had the "short stroke" safety slot and corresponding notch in the grips. The third variant, and perhaps second has the stop and the stop roller in the trigger group.
