You’re still helping Crosman owners eleven years later. Thank you!!!
your welcome
Thank you for this video! My son opened up our bug-a-salt shredder air gun, making all the parts fall out 🤦♀. These instructions were exactly what I needed to rebuild it. It works perfectly again!
your welcome
I used the old valve spring in the new valve which made the plunger react like the old one. I also noticed that he valve tube had a smaller inside diameter so I used the old one also. The gun now has good power. Thanks for the advice and again thanks for the great video! Sorry to be so slow in responding but gun started to index poorly so I replaced the cylinder plate and index finger. It now works perfectly.
Nice to see a "how to" video by a guy who actually knows what he is doing! Thanks much.
your welcome
Thank you!!! Saved my Vigilante..I had issues with the seer and spring placement..They kinda migrated to the floor after I opened it up..Your video helped me get them back to their happy home =)
your welcome glad the video helped you
had to fix a 357 today. took a half hour trying to figure out where the trigger spring goes😂. thanks for the help.
Glad to help
This video is very useful, and now I know where to get the seal kit, many thank's from Quebec, Canada!
your welcome
Very nice video! You helped me solving a big problem in my crossman. Thanks!
your welcome
Thanks for the video. It helped me get my gun I had a teenager working again.
your welcome
I am happy to have found this video because it has helped me put my gun back together
your welcome
Thanks alot, I'm about to put one up on ebay and was checking for internal rust, and knocked something loose. I appreciate the vid, thank you! :)
Awsome video got me back up and going thanks man
thanks and congrats
Excellent video, thank you. This is going to really help. I just got an old Crosman 357 just like that one, I think it's about 8 or 9 years old. A friend of mine had it, and it doesn't hold gas, so he just gave it to me. I recently re-sealed my old 1976 Crosman 38T, but it is completely different internally (easier than this newer one). So this video really helps.
your welcome and happy to hear it helped you

Oh and by the way I just got another Vintage Crosman 357 Six Delivered Today, The Only Thing Wrong With It Is The Little Rubber Piece Under The Barrel Latch Assembly Is Missing So The Barrel Won't Lock But I Am Going To Order 2 Of Them In The Next Few Days. One To Repair With and One For A Spare. Just Had Another Vintage Crosman 357 Six Delivered On Friday December 8th.and 2 Vintage Crosman 38C's Delivered, One On December 6th and The Other On December 11th 2 Days Ago. I Got A Vintage Crosman 38T That Was Delivered On July 7th.
I Have Quite An Impressive Collection Of Air Rifles and Pistol, A Lot Of Them Vintage. My Favorite Rifles Being 2 Vintage Crosman 622's In . 22 Calibers and One Had Just Been Resealed and My Other Favorite Is My Vintage Daisy Power Line Model 889 13 Shot Pellet Pump Air Rifle That Had Just Been Resealed and It's In Mind Blowing Excellent Condition With Not A Speck Of Rust Or Scratch On It Anywhere. It Like Brand New and You Can Smell The Wood On It Fresh and It's In The Original Box, A Lot Of Them Are. I Wish It Was Some Way I Could Send Photos.
Thank You Again

Great video! Helped me figure out the parts I needed and made sure I got it back together right.

Im thinking abaut options several of them before parting with my cash, im not a repair tech- so im using an industrial type silcone lube with teflon like moto master 300- its not leaking from the co 2 port so plumbers teflon is out of the question- repair and return will probably cost me 23.00- so if the silicon lube does not succeed then im really interested in watching this and become a do it yourselfer like I've done in the past with my cars on occasions-
a little thank from FRance. My 357 is build. I will try it tomorrow. Thank you again for this video.

Awesome Video. A big Help. Thanks!!!!!!!!

Thanks Kevin! Managed to get a 357 back together without your vid, but it was tricky. The exact same day I got the gun back together ANOTHER ONE came onto my bench! Oye!
Second one will need complete seal replacement. Have a set coming from Precision Pellet. Will have your vid bookmarked for reference.
Nice work!

thank you for your info
your welcome
your welcome and yes some of them are total nightmares this one is not to bad i have rebuilt lots of 357 guns
I fear I'm much too late, but thank you SO much!
your never to late to fix your own guns its getting the parts for the vintage ones thats the challange check ebay
your very welcome
This is an effective training video. I was able to reassemble my air 357 after springs popped off and it was a heap of parts. But, just a tip. If you have editing software, you could have flipped the image so that the viewer was seeing it straight on, not up side down. That would have made it easier to follow. Thanks for doing the video!
your welcome happy it helped
Great comfort
:)
I have done lite work on air pistols - the barrel won’t stay locked - I guess it needs part 357- 021 latch support? The main thing is you can’t get it to puncture the c02. It doesn’t go deep enough to puncher the c02. I screwed it out everything looked good - screwed it back in till it bottom out and still did not puncher the c02.
you likey need a new pericing cap as well as the latch boot
@@KevinMillard68 Ok and Thank You.
Great video! I ordered all of the parts from Crossman and they are very affordable. You can still get most of the parts from them. After watching the video I was able to replace all of the seals as well as a new valve assembly and a new piercing body. At under $20.00 I have a new 357. Thanks!
the oil will get shot out, but having a tighter valve spring in there could be part one of the lower power , and also if the valve was built along time ago then the stem seal could already be shot, run about 3 bottles threw it and see what happens.i never rebuild valves till its time to use them and i never replace the valve springs unless they need to be done, not sure where you got yours but it dont sound like your valve is operating properly,try what i mentioned and let me know.
Hi sir!
Thank you for your video! I have and old 357, with the 8" barrel, brown grip. It started to leak at the top of the CO2 bottle once screwed in. I've just sent an email to ABAirgun for some info on how to proceed to get my gun repaired. I'm from Canada.
Thanks again for sharing this video/tutorial.
Take care.
your welcome
cyou change the barrel on this gun
can you tell me which barrels you can put
What sort of paint should one use on one of these for touch ups to match the color as best as possible?
I dont do little fixes i strip all the paint off and redue it complety youll never get a match of any color to blend right
Thanks for the great video. Thanks to your great step by step instructions my rebuild was easy. One thing I have noticed though, is that my gun seems to have a little less power than before. My seal kit contained the complete valve and CO2 inlet assembly and the plunger is stiffer than my original. Also there was a lot of oil in the valves. Would these affect the power? Again thanks for a great video.
yup new and old models no problem
Ok...manage to find the kit. while installing it, i drop the gun....
I put all back together...and i ended up with one extra(!!!) spirng...
I think is the one you describe in 3.05 that its on the hammer..but i dont understant where excactly i have to put it...
The gun looks like working properly, but i didnt install a gas yet..untill get an answer for this....
Thanks
take a really good look at the video, for where the spring goes if all else fails goto crosmans website and you can download free print for the gun
KevinMillard68
;) Found it. Followed the diagram..and everything works just fine.
Very useful video for me...and good support also!!
Plus we're do you buy that seal kit?
I have a daisy powerline model 44 I’ve had it for three years old I want to bring back too
i dont fix airguns anymore and never really got into fixing daisy the only 2 guys i knew in canada that did are both passed away now so i have no idea who might still be working on them
I am just replacing the latch on top, will that mess with the seals when I split the main body?
only way toi know is to take it apart do your thing and see what happens its a crap shoot if the pipe seals go or not just make sure to losen off the co2 bottle ring before you remove the cover other wise stuff might happen that you dont want to happen
I replaced the o-ring, with one of same size, but still all gas is running out fast from that release point, just before barrel. what can be the fault in my gun? I dont have access to service center in my country...
Is something else related to the release of the gas in every shot mechanism?
Thanks
Great thanks
well that could be a idea but if there is to much light then you get reflections off the metal pieces and that would not be a good,you could put the video into full screen and select 1080p hd and that might help you
my near new Vigilante is not releasing gas when the trigger is pulled. There is pressure within the 2 cylinders I tried but it is not get through to the cylinder
they have crapy valves these days known problem crosman still has not fixed so just order in a new valve and your goof to go till it messes up again, if you pull the trigger enough times it will work fine again for awhile till its screwes up again i reallt dont get what the problem is yet with the valves i havea customer with the same problem and they only real fix is to find and older verison 357 valve and then your good to go for 20 years as well as its got good seals in it hard to find those valves tho i have one and they do go for big bucks when you can find them
Hi Kevin: I took it apart again and found I had managed to lose the little spring that causes the trigger to hook up on the hammer when the trigger is pulled. I couldn't find it so dug through my "Misc Stuff" and found one similar that I only had to shorted a bit. The gun works great now so that was the culprit. I don't know how I managed to do it even after you had warned us not to lose it. Thanks again for sharing your expertise.
Best Regards,
rocky1405
cool good to hear you got her working. ya that tiny spring is a pain sometimes
Not only Crosma uses that sort of valve (the ones you need that funky tool for). So does ASG. And also some Umarex guns
nice to know ,
thanks!
Is Teflon oil safe to use on this gun? I bought it recently and I'm not sure how to oil it other than the oil drop that goes on the co2 cartilage
this is great but the assembly you installed for the seal where the co2 sits, mine leaks, can this be repaired without the tear down?
its tricky but yes
will you put mine back together and redo the seals?
Hello I have a older model 357 that was passed down to me. It needs a new seal is there any where I could get one pre built before I order a seal kit?
i never heard of it so i have no idea, i only use crosman pellgun oil or Sae 30 non detergent motor oil
I tried to contact. no answer. I replaced the o-ring you use in 5:20 of the video. Can rapid loose of gas from that position, conected to the "quads" (i suppose is those 2 on both ends of that brass pipe)? Or can it be because of the part you replace in 6:50 ?
Thanks again
I'd like to modify mine for more power. Is there any way to do that with this particular gun? I would like to be able to take small game with it.
I have crosman vigilante almost same as this 357. This video helped me rebuild it because when I opened it all parts fall off. I'm missing that little brass piece what u put in that hole of hammer, is it important and do I need it? My gun works when I pull trigger and everything moves but I haven't tested it with Co2 because i'm afraid it gonna blow up and break gun or my hand.
+Allu if your missing parts then call alan at abairgun.com
my first shot is fine but then the rest of the "round clip" that the pellets are in become misaligned and won't shoot anymore. I have to manually fidget with the "round clip" to make it work. help.
you need a new Pressure plate and indexing finger
Have two of the "old model" .357 Crosmans, this will help a lot in their maintenance. Thanks. Who has the best "O" ring seals? Or do I find the similar sized "O" rings at the hardware store?
abairgun.com has the best kits and parts access even for the older crosman guns best to call him so he knows what version of the 357 you have they did make some changes over the years
i can yes, you will find my website info in the discription of this video , there is a contact link on our website with the email informaiton youll need
Well it is a vintage one,and has a custom BSA log barrel. I live in Alberta so I would be looking at 100cdn?
your looking at 54.00 for the basic rebuild kit this will not include a new face plate or indexing prawl which i advise strongy to do + 35.00 labor and shipping costs both ways iam in ontario there is no mark up on the parts i dont make anymoney on the parts at all. it takes about 2 weeks for me to get the parts ,, crosman canada wont have the parts for vintage guns, so i have to get those parts from the USA and before i can even order in the parts ihave to know which version of the gun you have of the vintage series there was changes made to the linkages for the trigger as well as the indexing prawl as well. so that now adds more time on getting it done and back to you..
I forgot to ask. If you recommend a seal kit which kit would you recommend. I believe that with your video I can take it apart & reassemeble. Thank you
you just need a 357 complete rebuild kit
your welcome
I've had one for a few years just recently it stopped cycling the cylinder reliably. What would be a common cause of this? I used the old and new cylinder, the old one cycles better than the new one...
face place has platic pressure spring that wares out so get a new one and a new indexing prawl and you good to go just be careful not to disturb the seals in the pipe or youll be doing them as well
if your talking about the orings in the pipe they are not orings they are quad seals and are special type regular orings will not hold, get hold of alan at abairguns he can sell you a rebuild kit that will be proper for your gun you have to let him know if you have the new model with combat black grips or older model with brown grips for the proper kit
did you get this thing brand new cause if you did then take it back if not then call alan at abairguns after 6pm his time and he can set you up my stock of 357 pats is really low right now and the parts you need i dont have in stock at the moment..
How can I tighten the tension on the latch
new latch support boot thats it
The 38T is a lot easier to put back together . Nice vid you made.
either one to me is easy but after you do it a few hundred times i guess anything is easy lol
Where do you get your seal kits from??
tank for all
your welcome
How do I stop it from jamming the bullets wont shoot
perhaps your using to long of a pellet the gun is not in front of me your jamming problem could be any number of things and its not infront of me so i cant help you on this, more information is needed before i can help you out.. 357s usually never jam miss shots yes jam unheard of unless the wrong length of pellet us being used or it could jam if the indexing prawl is busted that can happen
the one iam working on in the video is the older 357 not the newer one and the indexing prawls are different , the bb version uses the older indexing prawl as does the older pellet version,
I'm sure they should have a parts rebuild kit for all cr 357 model made dates somewhere- i was looking at this flick and figured on ordering my part i need, its the leaking seal ring(s) but i guess you or i would have to contact crosman and may not like their price and keep checking-
My revolver leaks co2 almost immediately after I tighten the cartridge. I don't know why it happened because it gave no warning at all. Do you think a seal kit will do the job? The gun has been well cared for, never dropped or mistreated.
if its just at the co2 bottle area then just put in a new end seal other wise rebuild kit
goto the description in this video the link to my website is there at the website is all my contact info
ok so what your saying is your valve stem seal is shot then ,
Question Kevin, I have the old 357 "brown grips" but it was missing the parts in the c02 puncture area. The gun was my brothers and I wanted it fixed. I bought a kit off ebay that came with the new valve assembly prebuilt, just drop it in and screw case back together. He sold it as a kit for phase 1 and 2 guns, but I noticed it is for the newer guns. However I installed it regardless. It does shoot, but its only giving me a small percentage of power, not even enough to push a pellet out of the clip. I messaged the seller and he said it could be the hammer or hammer spring. I doubt that, I suspect a blockage in the jet or valve perhaps? I really want this old gun working again.
order in the parts for the original valve/gun from alan at abairgun.com dont ever but seal kits for any guns or older crosman guns off eaby always goto alan he is the best and has the proper parts . you might have gotten a bum valve and the newer valves SUCK rally bad. FYI never email him , call him only after 6 or 6:30 pm kanas time ..
Can the Snub357 be powered-tuned?
yes it can be power tunned a little
I rebuilted, and installed a new gas cartidge, without installing the cover plate, just to figure out where is the gas loss. Its definetely from the last point before pushing the pellet. So, something is wrong with the part that needs the special part to screwed back...
my gun looks the same were can i get a new seal kit leaks out co2 quick
check ebay for the older 357s for seal kits or call alan at abairgun.com,, option 2 is order the seal kit for the new model 357 as well order the new stay valve they should fit tho i have not tried in theroy they should its getting harder all the time to get vintage parts
So my gun's barrel keeps on falling down because the latch support is gone!
Awesome and very informative video thank you. i'm pretty sure i'm going to have to get a seal kit. Where do you get those from?
thanks any where that fixes crosman airguns including crosman or you can also see alan at abairgun.com as well
I have a brand new crosman vigilante , I just has a doubt is that when i cock the hammer you know the metal that make contact with the valve to shot , well that part when i cock the hammer moves from back to front , is that normal? or need to be fixed , also everytime i use a co2 with it it just last for 40 consecutives shots, that is normal too?
yes all normal operation except the shot count is not consistant for speed from shot to shot over 40 shots how ever still normal
@@KevinMillard68 so do you think that there's a problem with the gun valve ? I used a screwdriver in that circle part around the valve to make sure it was adjusted.
Nice Video! My 357 loses all gas from the front hole (before the barrel).
Where do i find a seal kit? I searched with no luck... Thank you!
yup you can power mod it for a bit more fps how ever the best thing for power and keeping it legal is find your self the 8 inch barrel for that gun it will take the gun just so very shy of 500 fps , as for small game it wont take much more then some chipmunks and some small birds.
abairguns will have the kits you need
Does the steel barrel just float inside plastic housing? Mine started coming out and I had to push it back in.
more or less it floats the metal hanger is all that sort of locks the metal barrel in
KevinMillard68
Thanks, I’ll have to check into it better. The barrel actually fell out on me when I was loading it.
I have not been able to get consistent accuracy with it.
Frank L ya its not 100% accurate but its a fun gun. its limits are pretty much 10 meters for accuracy but you will get strays, you do need to find a good pellet for it tho its a picky bugger
