Crossman M1

[Septicdeath]

1967

Crossman M1 all done top to bottom inside and out. the muzzle was real bad probably from some kid push it against things to cock it. So completly refished it. The stock is a wood one and has been shortened a bit so its owner could use it I suppose. pretty sweet little gun!

Very nice job! My brother had one of those when we were young. It was fun and yes we pushed it against stuff to cock it as the spring was rather stiff.

Thought I might add the before restoration pictures.

Got mine in the third grade. Is that an original magazine on yours? You’ve got it looking good.

Mine is missing the screw behind the trigger guard. Would you happen to know what size the screw is?

I once knocked a bird off a wire at about 30 yards out of the upstairs bedroom window. Was definately a fluke that surprised me.

Wow! Back in 67', they sure outdid themselves making it look like a real M1 Carbine!

You need to get that thing shooting. Put four or five drops of 30 weight non detergent down the barrel and set it barrel up in the corner overnight. Nice M1 you have.

Yes it's a beauty. The mag was made on a printer. I'm not sure of the screw size but all of stock screws are same diameter. Different lengths. You can find them in most hardware stores and they have blued. Cut one to length if you need to. Here is also a link but they have $15 minimum.

I used a darker stain than the standard crossman wood stock model. The darker color gives it real look.

Yours looks good after you did the work. They’re fun to shoot but getting the bbs into the little fill hole is kind of a pain and they don’t hold a lot. 

The original magazine is hollowed out to hold spares and somehow I managed to keep from losing it.

Real fond memories, I bought mine with cutting corn outta beans money. I fed a bunch of barn cats with mine when we lived on the hog farm. Then one day my dog had a raccoon in a willow tree overhanging a small pond. I’d dumped a magazine full thoroughly pissing that coon off. Then it took a turn for the worse as the coon got on my dogs back. I saved the day, the M1 took a bath, saved the dog, and ended up taking 14 rabies shots. Still wearing those scars bout 54 years later. Thanks for posting the picture!
