My brother gave me a Mk1 for my 13th birthday. I take it out every year shoot the rest of last years CO2 , put in a new capsule with a drop of Crosman pelgun oil spend part of my day shooting and reminiscing. I just turned 69.
Rick Willnecker at Precision Pellet has the CO2 cap reproduced. He also reseals these classic pistols & other service stations. He charges $60.00 for the reseal vs. most others charge $85.00 plus shipping. The market value of these pistols runs from $90.00 to over $200 for a nice mint boxed version. These have gone up in value like most other vintage Crosmans and will continue.
The Mark 1 is incredible I have owned several over the years and kept a couple with amazing barrels that are very accurate. I hadn't shot mine in a long time your video inspired to get mine out today I appreciate that it made for a fun afternoon.
I live in the UK England , I have a Mk 1 with the power adjustment. I ordered my new seal kit and some new grips shipped from a supplier in America. It is now fully restored and a great pistol ,I have had the gun about ten years, I got it from a flea market £50.00 .
I’ve rebuilt a few of them, the bottom nut is a pain in the neck to replace the seals in, I noticed you didn’t do that. :) you need to tap out the pin to get access to the small seals. Also use vintage pel oil in them, that stuff coats the insides of air guns and just seals everything.
When my dad gave it to me, he had the kit to replace the bottom seals, and I put them in then - some years ago, but didn't need to be done again. Since I posted this video, I fixed up a pair of them for a friend, and sure enough, the bottom seals really needed replacing.
The Mark 1 is one of my favorite airguns. I would love if somebody made a modern copy out of better materials. I think I have a Mac1 bulk co2 adapter hanging around somewhere that I never used. I got it with some other stuff 8-10? years back.
I have the Mark 2 and absolutely love it, I’ll probably eventually get the mark 1 as well. These are one of the best in my opinion. Only my S&W 79G can contend with it. I also need t get the 78G , which is the 22 version.
If you can find walnut or bois d'ark it makes the best stocks and grips and look for a knot to form around the curve for that ear that breaks off, follow the grain around the knot and it will be stronger.
Crosman only influence using their copper coated BB because the soft copper didn't hurt the rifling like other brands ,so they would say only use Crosman products and BB's.
Please, get a CAD scan of those grips and get someone to 3D print sets for sale ( like your work but I can't see going through all the trial and fit work that you did) and put my name first on the list. BTW, I'm also a fan of the MK I.😊
It's not just a screw cap. It has the piercing mechanism built in - a small lever that lifts the pin to puncture the CO2 cartridge, and then retracts. And it all has to be gas tight - so there's a few o-rings situated around that plunger. It's obviously do-able, but the cost would exceed buying other working Mark 1's.
@@canuckair I see, but someone did this in a primitive machine shop 55 years ago, no doubt with some assembly line help for speed. I have a special design for a compound hybrid rifle, probably would go with 38 cal. at 375 so 3/8 ball bearings could be substituted for lead pellets of that size, and it would be a complex gun but I out grew most models 25 years ago and made my first .312 cal pellet rifle and the thrill of it and it's power was addicting, now want to build the mark ll
CO2 is plant food! Plants must have CO2 to make glucose in photosynthesis. The grip reminds me of the grip on my Webley Tempest pump air pistol. I wish you success on your new channel. 😎👍
indeed CO2 is plant food (well, that and sunlight with a bit of quantum mechanics thrown in). Humans just make a lot more of it than plants can eat, they're slow. Not that CO2 airguns are a measurable percentage of that. You should be able to run these on HPA with some modifications, too, which does have the upside of being user-refillable.
Haven't seen a bag of Super pells in years, the bag was a bad idea tho, easy to deform the pellets. I have a Crosman 600 and love it but always loved those Mark 1's.
I will ONLY use the CROSMAN 1322 airgun pistol for shooting Crows and Pigeons at close range because the CROSMAN C°2 airgun pistols are not powerful enough to kill these birds.
Hmm. I've an upcoming video on the 1322 and cousins. You might want to rethink your beliefs about the pump up guns - they don't deliver the power their loud report would suggest.

That is cool I'm just glad to hear something good on here instead of all these idiots trying to get paid bless u

I acquired both models, and keep them in an attache case with fitted liner. Great pistols.
Had one in my hands once. I agree with what you say. What a great pistol. Sad Crosman don't make it anymore.
The American Classic .177 .bb or Pellet, Pistol/rifle combo was the best of all time. Hands Down.
No debate, discussion over.
1322, yes!!!

Great pistols, also one of my favorites. I have the MK2 .177 model with Zebrano wood grips made by Crooked Barn years ago
Nice work on the new grips
Good video !
Love my mark 1
Have a mark 2 and a 600 w lh grip.
The 38T is very fun also..
There are others....
18:30 *WOW!.....the grips came out nice. Well done mate* Rob

Nice work on the grips , my favorite is still the Crosman 600 .. new ones the 1322 pump . Thanks

Amazing work with the new handles!
the grips look great , well done mate top marks

Turned out fantastic,the grain looks good 💯
I remember that Mark I CO2 pistol 🔫 l
I love that beast of a CO2 pistol.
I wish they remake this masterpiece.
If you can find walnut or bois d'ark it makes the best stocks and grips and look for a knot to form around the curve for that ear that breaks off, follow the grain around the knot and it will be stronger.
Nice Channel man❤
I love your passion and research for airguns
Oh yea, those 80's pellets I saved a few tins and have some super rare heavy one's.
Crosman only influence using their copper coated BB because the soft copper didn't hurt the rifling like other brands ,so they would say only use Crosman products and BB's.
Crosman 150 was my first CO2 air pistol.
I always found those old Super Pells to be the most accurate.
I had a Mark 1, it was very accurate, I was able to hit an aspirin at 20' at every other shot!
I had the 177 loved it still got 22 an box. It will put them in same hole.
The only pistol that tops this is my S&W 79G, also comes in 22. Which is the 78G , these are very nice as well

You know, I know a guy who has a scanner. I'll give it some thought. Thanks
Great videos please keep them coming 😊😊😊
Go to any local machine shop and have a new screw cap made.... it's simple work for them. Adam Savage could make one.
It's not just a screw cap. It has the piercing mechanism built in - a small lever that lifts the pin to puncture the CO2 cartridge, and then retracts. And it all has to be gas tight - so there's a few o-rings situated around that plunger. It's obviously do-able, but the cost would exceed buying other working Mark 1's.

Have you considered Getting your grips 3d printed?

The SSP 250 was the Next "target" model. Sports Silhouette Pistol.
It also resembles a p08
Indeed it does. The P08 inspired the Japanese Nambu, which inspired Bill Ruger for his .22 auto, which then inspired Crosman for the Mk1. 👍
I've been looking for someone trustworthy to have my 2 MK1's refurbished. Not worried about cosmetics, just seals and a new valve. Any suggestions?
Beautiful pistol
Nice video and yes i subscribed 👍😉
I am surprised that you leave the co2 for months on your airguns , knowing as much as you do I mram
I got a old 357 crossman, it’s got a gas leak or something though
Why running water
Why not? Actually my basement workshop shares space with the sump, that trickles continuously. Could be worse: could be chickens.
Why is it taking so long to tell the story🤔?
I wouldn't give um any ideas on banning co2 gun's they're bad enough as it is.
Haven't seen a bag of Super pells in years, the bag was a bad idea tho, easy to deform the pellets. I have a Crosman 600 and love it but always loved those Mark 1's.

Kind of looks like a Luger

But Not You!
Fantastic work on those grips , really digging your channel. Where abouts in Canada are you? I’m in the Niagara Region in southern Ontario.
Yes, I'm at the other end of the lake, right where Erie begins
