Crosman’s 100 year anniversary walnut stocked 362

I’ll pass on it at that price. This is a good read as it has informed me of somewhere else I will take a hard pass at on buying anything. Sweet looking rifle though.
It is spendy, but very pretty. I’m a collector and even I can’t say that there’s 400 worth of value in putting a nice stock on a pumper that was selling for what… 79 dollars a year (or two) ago? But I do love a wood stocked pumper. I can’t see this appreciating in value much if at all at this price but if you are a collector of all things Benjamin or Crosman then here ya go.
The best thing Crosman has done in a long time has been sourcing the new walnut stocks. It would be incredible if they would invest more heavily in it and spread them out as an option for everything they make with a wooden stock. Sadly for what was once a company with a proud domestically produced product line, the best Crosman’s right now are coming from Turkbenjistan.

And I have to agree on the hard pass. Hahahaha!!
Here are photos of the one I’ve received recently. Maybe one day there will be a readily available source for these stocks available as an aftermarket upgrade.

Over the past few weeks I’ve put one in my cart and taken it back out several times. I put one in my cart again today but this time I completed the order!
Sweet! Please post pics of yours when it comes in and let’s see what number you got. I kind of suspect they are being sold in no particular order.
Can’t wait to see what the wood looks like on yours.

I bought a 1955, and a 1965, Bluestreak for $399.98, + $20 for S&H.View attachment 379695
But they don't have a Turkish walnut stock. Are they modular? Can you swap out triggers (gen 1 Prod or Magnum Airpower) or easily/properly mount a scope? How about a barrel change? Sure would be cool with a .20 barrel or .177 or .25.

Is it pricey? Yeah, but life is short and that's a nice walnut stock.
