I have a Crosman 140 that I got from my brother in law who passed away and it sat for years and and the cup had hardened. I ordered a cup replacement. That is why I watched your video. Before replacing the cup I sprayed silicone down the compression tube and let it sit overnight. This rejuvenated the cup seal and now it pumps like new.. This is a tip for those who own pumpers.
There are some truly amazing air rifles that came out of the golden age of American air gun designs! I own a model 1400, which according to the serial # was made in June 1976. I bought it from a gentleman who restored the valve and pump mechanism, and I recall that he replaced the original pump cup with a modern one made of urethane, and now with 8 pumps my m-1400 is blasting regular Crosman lead pellets over 700 fps.
Great Info, Nibs! Please do a video on pump rod adjustment for proper headspace. Lots of talk about it on forums, but no one's actually walked us thru the procedure like you could. Thanks !
Love the little details you give & the ways you use everyday tools to either take apart or press back parts instead of buying a fancy tool to do it with. Appreciate your time.
Appreciate the tip on using a punch for the brass washer. I just re-sealed my 102 and I thought it went smoothly but doesn't build pressure after reassembly. Back to the drawing board.
Hi. I follow your videos and appreciate them very much. I dug out my Dads old 140 with a bent pump handle and after following your video the seal process went great! The problem I have is how to get the wood pump handle off to straighten the steel pump lever. I don't want to break the wood because this was my Dads air rifle. I know how it happened. My Dad and his buddy over pumped it before they bent the arm and blew the seals. Any help would be great! Thank you!!!
Hola ..acabo de recibir .la crosman 140 de mi abuelo .en un estado lamentable .. veo .que en sus manos se quedan como nuevas ...pena x no tenerlo a UD. Aquí en España .....un saludo
@@WalnutandSteel Yes thank you for the information crossman has the parts also if you can give them a part number. I done a rebuild with Baker’s kit but no felt washer. I used two O rings works very good.
I broke my aluminum washer trying to get the bushing off, still didn't get the bushing off, is there somewhere I can get another one? i got this from my father in law, it was rebuilt once, everything is hard to get apart!
i have 2 model 760 powermaster BB guns which are pre 1968 and 1 model 140 22 cal pellet gun which is approximatly 70 years old, i was wondering if you could help me with the correct part numbers for the rebuild kits and where you purchase them as well. i would really appricate any help, and keep up the great work on your videos. thank you
If you look up the ebay store crosman600repair my good friend Henry Ford runs that store and has kits for all crosman Benjamin and sheridan models make sure and let him know Nibs sent you over
The model 140 I have has an aluminum breach and a flat steel breach cover. I don't see a serial number anywhere. T he gun is in like new condition and after a little oiling it pumps up and shoots fine. I am trying to figure out its manufacture date. Also what kind of scope mount is best for these guns? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks for the video.
Google Crosman dates of manfacture. It ha a chart of all the models I have one like yours 1954 -57 as i recall. Scroll down to the bootom of the chsrt and hit full post to see the chsrt.
Henry Ford with crossman air guns sent me the wrong seal kit. I bought and paid for a crossman 1400. I have no clue what I got but it's definitely not what I ordered
Have you contacted him to let him know it’s not right? He is a human but I do know him to be quite honest and goes out of his way to make things right when he does make a mistake.
I just got my grandpas old model 140 and it doesn’t hold compression. I tried looking for the kit on eBay and I’m not having any luck finding it. Could you please tell me the part number for it?
And he post a bunch to lol lol what about 4 videos a day some times lol 😆 🤣 your alright nibs. Cool cat bud lol I think you will like the 880 it's been fun for me for Manny Manny years only target practice it has never killed nothing but a can of target some bottle caps and at one time struck some matches when I could see better I had to put a different model 880 barrel shroud on it one time that's a tiny bit lower but it still shoots great just gave to keep the rear sights up all the way or use the scope I included with the gun any way have fun with it she's your baby now old buddy I still got prolly 20 more lol of every style and model she has never let me down and that's what's special about it I have won Manny turkey shoots with it to and air rifle tournaments good gun for being almost 40 years old it might be a little older I have had it about 40 years close anyways
@@WalnutandSteel What about the old style cross-bolt safety. I've restored many rifles and shotguns but never a Crosman airgun! Can't see how the safety would come out.
As far as the fore arm I have read you have to clamp the piece onto a sacrificial piece of wood, then drive the pins out of the blind side of the forearm into the sacrificial piece. This is to keep the tear out to a minimum but you will have new holes
Thanks for the good info on the pump cup replacement.

Have you ever tried to take the wood forearm off?
Have not

I will check out my 147 later and see how the safety is installed
@@WalnutandSteel I figured it out finally! The forearm gave me trouble though! Thanks for your time!!
