I just ran across this in the back of a closet. It was my father's. We think it is about 60 years old.

I am going to see if I can get it shooting. It has never had a set of seals and when I tried it in the early 80s it would not hold CO2. I guess 60 years is beyond their intended service life!

these are hard enough gas without them leaking
you can get parts diagrams at Crosman and parts at JG air guns if you were so inclined, but these older rifles can be tricky the first time if it were the case i have never been inside one of mine

I have two of the 500’s one just acquired. I can recommend Michael’s Lock Stock a Barrel in Notasulga AL. He’s quite good and rebuilt both of my 500’s. You can Google him but never call on Sunday. He’s a retired master machinist with a well equipped shop.

Had this one apart many times, bringing it "back from the dead". My buddy found it cheap at a yard sale for me.
Finally got it right. Finicky with pellets, it only seems to like Daisy Wadcutters. I should ad the linkage is worn a bit, maybe why it's fussy to load.

My Dads friend had one when I was a kid and they used to sit in his back yard drink beer and shoot starlings/blackbirds with it. That was 57 yrs ago or a bit more.

Cool rifle!
You'll find the manual and parts diagram here. https://support.crosman.com/hc/en-us/articles/203360894-400-Owner-s-Manual-EVP-1957-1964
I'd get it quick before it goes away.
Cheers,
