My gen1 mrod has a green mountain and does well, as does the gm on my rimfire. Theyre not super expensive but...... Im guessing this dream hi power pumper we are building is in the 600 dollar range for materials at this point. What energy level are people wishing for?

That’s about what I would expect to pay for one and if it were done well I wouldn’t have a problem with it. I don’t expect they’d make a killing on it, but that’s not the only reason for a company to market high end products. They’re an item that enhances their brand and gives them good advertising simply by existing. People watch YouTube videos about luxury products they wish they could have and they serve as proof that the company knows how to make a first rate product.

If they could re purpose a majority of power plant components id think it could be sold as a made-to-order type gun. Perhaps im wishful thinking in the vein of the crosman custom shop.

What about the
A new model A or B would be pretty sweet. From what I read at one time they discontinued because they were considerably more expensive than a 22 rimfire at the time. The C model was the made it cheaper version to get to a price point….just business.
Crosman 362, 100-Year Anniversary Edition
I think they were a little slow to sell out. I bought one early on and thought it was a really nice rifle .A new model A or B would be pretty sweet.

The Williams Diopter sight is easily screwed on to the predrilled holes in the receiver. The rear sight that is standard on the Sheridan/Benjamin/Crosman versions for decades is held on by wedges that puts pressure against the soldier joint between the barrel and receiver. Best for the gun when this sight is removed and replaced with the Williams.

i would prefer the same original FPE around 8 @ 8 pumps , or maybe 10 since everyone is on this high power trip now , but no slug barrels please .

Hi lloydf—here’s a couple of pictures of the 3 “Lefty’s “, that I own. It took me years for me to acquire these. They do occasionally pop up for sale, but unfortunately, they don’t come

I love my Siver Streak. I picked it up from an estate sale at a gun show. It's one of the rifles that I won't sell, along with my HW50. I pull it out from the gun sock every 6 months or so and enjoy shooting it for a bit. It then gets put back in the sock with a pump in it. I've had this for several years now and it's always kept the pressure in it.

That stock is UNREAL! That's the nicest wood I've ever seen on a Streak! Thanks for sharing those pics!

Well, at the high end, my Steroid 392 develops close to 30 fpe at 20 pumps with heavy pellets and my .25 Aspen makes around 36 fpe for every 6 pumps. So long as a multipump can make around 16 fpe though, I consider it adequate.
The Aspen is really the gun that should have checked all the boxes for being this ultimate pumper, but they really weren’t built very well and had a lot of issues of their own.
I think that the concept of an air conserving pumper is a very good one. There’s just so much efficiency to be gained by not dumping all the air with every shot and we’re at a point with PCP rifles these days where variable power can be achieved easily by controlling the hammer or transfer port.

I will have to see of the williams example I have might fit my 392. Thanks for the tribal knowledge!
