Really nice to see this. I've had my steel breech, scope, mounts and other stuff ready to fix up my 362. Just waiting for the right time. I believe you about 900 FPS. I will have to get into some different barrels and a moderator and other cool stuff soon as well.
@@gwhitfield4239 I have a nice collection of different pellets to try out soon when I move to a place where I can really use my air guns a lot more. Just to get your thoughts on this .. regarding those pellets with the alloy tips and the plastic sabot skirts, which some say are the best for penetrating targets you are trying to destroy (I like shooting old toys or RC stuff etc or anything that comes apart lol .. aside from accuracy shooting of targets) .. and there are maybe 2 kinds like this for .22 and maybe 3 or 4 kinds in .177. All have tips that are harder than lead, alloy, brass mostly and then have a plastic skirt which in all cases is just a smooth cylinder with a slight flair on the back end to grab rifling, but none of these have the metal really hitting the rifling in the breech much. The plastic touches the rifling minimally and the alloy or brass touches not at all or hardly at all. Sooo my question is, do you think these can damage a barrel? (My own opinion is not much or not at all, with perhaps some plastic residue left behind.) People say those can damage barrels, but these are not expensive barrels anyhow. Crosman Red Flight (.22 cal) is one of them.
Thank you Richard! I'm sorry to take so long to reply!. Thanks for watching and commenting and I'm gonna be here more often and I'm working out some new ideas for videos on my 362s..l Want to see what max effective range is going to be in. 177 and. 22 cal.. thank you very much and have a great day!
Thanks Lou!.. its poppin'!!..I just put the 362 breech and barrell on the ratcatcher and I dont see any difference in it!... the ratcatcher has a boss valve but it has a stock t/f port now and plastic breech however the stock 362 bolt probe is longer than a stock 2240 bolt probe and it shot thru the 5/8 " cedar board like it was butter too! So I'm pretty happy with what I did. I was hesitant to dismantle the 380.00 ratcatcher I put together and mod the 362, but I'm thrilled with the results of both and cant wait to chrony test and accuracy review on both of them tomorrow..I'm gonna probably show that the optimum barrell length for the 2240 is probably going to be around 20" and that the steel breech and barely longer bolt probe add maybe 15 fps. If that much!..I've got the metal barrel mounts on the 2240 with the CV life 3-9×40 and its a good fit as well. I'm anxious to see what they can do tomorrow!..obviously the advantage of the steel breech is a more stable platform for a scope, but if you get a good set of metal barrel dovetail mounts off ebay they are great for 12 bucks and dont move around on the 2240 with the metal barrel band after you get it tightened down good...goodnight and thanks for your comments Lou!!
Several guys on GTA have added longer barrels, a few have converted them to .177. I went the other way and converted one to .25. It's making 15 fpe with an 18 inch barrel.
Ebay has a transfer port that fits but has 60 percent increase in flow . Also a stronger hammer spring would increase power , I believe it has same parts as the 2240 /1322 except the trigger , Im going to buy one and mod it but my plan is Brass breach also the barrel band on the end is replaceable and had a brass counter part , that and a brass muzzel flip also on ebay and it should look super sharp and unique. I really like your build , check out mine if you have the chance .
Thanks Show & Tell w/ Jace Bell!! I appreciate your comment and viewership!. I still have videos I wanna make on the 362s!! I think they are capable of 50 yd shots easily..
This is the first gun I have owned that will shoot the heavier pellets. I played around today with some JSB Match Diabolo Exact Jumbo Monster pellets 25.4 g. 👍👍👍
@@gwhitfield4239 I have by no means tested things all that much but it sure seems to be able to throw the heavier pellets nice and hard. I've even shot some 34+ grains through. I think the sweet spot is probably closer to 16-20 though and that is based on watching other people's tests on lots of videos .. and just what the gun feels like to me shooting into some wood lol. My favorite pellet in general in .22 are probably the 16 grain H&N Hornets since I just like the penetrator type of pellets but there are many cool choices. Barracudas are great and look like one of the top quality pellets and people certainly recommend them.
Thanks for this great video on the mods for the Crosman 362. I think you are the first TH-cam channel to add those mods. That Alaska Guy-Airguns TH-cam channel also did some similar mods that he posted and he added a Grav-Mag. But I dont think he added the longer bolt probe or valve. These are all mods that I plan to do too. So it's great to have someone else who did it mention that there's an increase in power. Please post a followup video of a chrony test and accuracy/groupings test and penetration tests. And also please keep a pellet count. There have been a lot of mention that the C362 is not accurate. I believe it is due to a dirty barrel. I think once the barrel is properly seasoned the groups will tighten up and the accuracy will improve. Stay Safe. Be Well. GOD BLESS.
Look great Jerry, I definitely think you are going to hit the 850 fps. The extended probe will definitely make a difference to the fps as well. The testing is going to be interesting
Good Morning Tyrone!, It did hit 847 fps on a H&N trophy green 9.57g but it took 10 pumps... I'm really happy with it getting 639fps with a 14.3 crosman dome @ 8 pumps. I'm finding that 5-6 pumps is generally enough power unless you're shooting over 35 yds..thanks for watching and commenting,.. have a great day my Friend!!
@@gwhitfield4239 well that's the beauty of the 13xx and 22xx family they can be customized in so many ways I just wished I had a lathe to cut to desired length and recrown the barrels.
That's all fine and dandy ... for you. You just talked through it; how about a "How To" video? You have not mentioned where or how to get the parts you put on your gun! Could you please do that? Thanks so much.
I'd like to be able to do that unfortunately I don't have any video equipment to do that. Best I can do is tell you what I did. I took the steel breech and 24" barrell off my 2240 ratcatcher and removed the plastic breech and 20" barrell from the 362 and swapped them out. Giving the 362 a more solid scope platform. The breech had a extended bolt probe already. I also used the oversize transfer port from the ratcatcher..I have them all boxed up and ready to go on a trip in a couple weeks I'll try to make a good video for you to get a better look at it.
Actually I didn't do anything to the valve, just the larger transfer port and the longer bolt probe. Of course the steel breech and longer barrel. But they have a Boss 362 valve on ebay I'm going to get a couple of them soon..
Any breech you want will work. Same ones that work on the 13xx and 22xx series will all interchange. Not sure about the trigger system. I have heard that the 362 uses the same trigger as the Benjamin Discovery but I'm not 100% on that...
Where can I buy a upgraded transfer port ? Sent back and waiting on replacement, it was leaking air from the Transfer Port every shot . Couldn't find tool for screw in transfer port or barrel band .
It's the same T/F port used in the 13xx pumpers and 22xx co2 powered platforms..ebay, squirrell daddy.com Baker airguns, those are some of the places I've bought them..
Love everything that you're doing! Any recommendations on iron sights after the steel breach? I would like to install fiber optics I think Williams has a kit for this I also noticed a slide on fiber optic for the 1322 I'm wondering if it fits on this gun
First of all, thank you very much for your viewership and yuh our comments!!. Honestly, you probably have a better idea about the iron sight question than I do, but I'm sure either Timmy Timmy or Skinny Mitch Pettengill would be able to get the best answer for you on that one because they do have the same size barrel and will interchange with the 2240 and 1322 however I'm not as knowledgeable about that as I'm thinking either one of them are!. Lou at First state airguns FSA, or maybe Denny Mckinsey at Flat Broke Airgunner, those are the only guys that I know have the best answer for this and I'm sure one of them will be seeing this one and help me out!! Lol...help me out guys!!..👊
@@gwhitfield4239 thank you so much for the reply!

Eventually I'll paste a link somewhere in the comments
@@joebotz1243 it occurs to me also Joe, that "Baker airguns" has a aluminum breech and its a little bit cheaper than the steel breech on ebay & Pyramyd air also s seller on Ebay called ,"Squirrell Daddy" had a good selection of barrels and stuff last year...I've heard negative feedback about Alliance hobby so I'd probably pass on them....thanks again Joe! That's sad about alliance, I bought all my power valves and boss parts from them last year and they were kinda slow moving back then..
The extended bolt probe pushes the pellet past the transfer port opening further into the barrel so the skirts dont get bent from the force of the air/co2 pushing it thru the barrell..adds about 17-20 fps. On a crosman 2240. Sometimes the reason for a " flyer" is because the pellet wasnt pushed in past the air hole and the skirt was bent from the force and pushed out the barrel "out of round" so to speak..I've used a small Allen wrench or something bent to push a pellet past the t/f port opening. Thanks for your question I hope I made sense...just woke up and no coffee yet..😅👍
Hi there! Neat video. I just got my 362 a few days ago. I’m afraid to attempt the steel breach replacement just yet. But it’s pretty darn accurate with 459 mounts and a Simmons 3-9 scope. My question is should I store the pellet gun with a few pumps? I’ve heard it’s good to keep some air in them but not sure about the 362 specifically. Thank you.
Yes, I'd keep it pumped up 2x at least...to keep the seals in place and working properly!..thanks for watching and commenting!..don't be afraid to switch the breech, its not difficult. When you get the steel breech it's easier to put it back together because you have a set screw on it to hold the barrel in place...that's half the battle right there. Loosen the tiny screw the bolt slides over first..just loosen it, loosen the sight screw...remove them both. The steel breech should have a longer sight screw than the plastic breech. Line up the barrell in the breech anx tighten the set screw ..then line up the transfer port to the barrel inside the breech, long end of the t/f port goes to the barrel. Short end goes on the valve end.. gently rotate barrell and breech into position. It will "snap" in place and you'll feel it. Start the tiny screw and snug it. Put the rear sight screw in and snug. Finish tighten up the tiny breech screw, and finish tighten rear sight screw. Youre done!! You'll have better accuracy with the steel breech because it allows the scope to be farther towards your eye...
Where did you get the 24 inch barrel from and the bigger transfer port I wanna do this to you 362 I have I’ve got a real good scope for a project like this
@@gwhitfield4239 Alliance Hobby has had bad reports as of late about people not getting their orders filled. Many have had to dispute their orders with their CC company's. Needful Things AKA Alchemy Air Works, is highly recommended now.
I was hoping for something like that on 8 pumps and with a 14.3 g. Hp. But it was more like 639 fps. Which I think was in the 14 fpe range...but it is more accurate than it was and I'm not unhappy with it..its a capable 50yd varminteer that's not too shabby for a pumper...probably be able to get out there to 60yds and still be accurate. I'm gonna do more testing on it in a couple of weeks on vacation and I'll post the videos...thanks for watching and commenting!!
I am curious what barrel length gives the highest velocity with standard pumps. I suspect it's somewhere between 18-22in. Possibly start to loose fps beyond that due to friction. I suspect if one over pumps, puts in a weaker valve spring and a stronger hammer spring one might to get more fps....Accuracy though is key, so even with a little speed loss the increase in accuracy is better. This Spring weather has not allowed me to get out and benchrest to stretch my C362 wings. I did have one day where it was ideal to shoot. I shot a 40 shot 1.5in group at 40 yards using 5 pumps and 14.3gr cphps. Which for me is a great group. My gun is stock, except for the steel breech and TKO Ldc. I did bend the trigger sear spring and replace the trigger return spring with a ballpoint pen spring. It reduced the trigger pull by half (and it wasn't bad to begin with). Definitely a very capable gun. I think I will leave my setup of 5 pumps and 14.3gr as is. Had no issues taking the raccoon that was trying to get into my chimney and numerous invasive birds.
@@michaelwthalman wow that's awesome!! I'm agreeing with you on the barrell length, probably 20".. which is what comes on it stock. I think the best platform build on the 24" barrell is going to be a Hipak and make it a PCP. That's probably going to be where you can get the best results on a 24" barrell. However, I did get about 40 more fps than it was getting stock. I dont think the steel breech adds any fps and the extended bolt probe is iffy at best. Some say 18-20fps but its probably not significant enough without other upgrades to be that beneficial. I think the power valve and the heavy hammer spring and extended bolt probe and boss transfer port all together may be able to exhilarate the 24" barrell..maybe....I'm gonna find out because I have a boss 1322 valve I'm gonna be trying out on a new stock 362 I have coming and I'll compare it in stock form and then with the power valve and see what happens...happy shooting!!
@@gwhitfield4239 One can always try the Lothar Walther barrels, they are chocked and from what I hear are very accurate. They should be for the price. If I get one it's going to be in .20cal. 5mm has always been my fav caliber. Most of my springers are in .20 and my Sheridans of course are. I was going to build a 1320, but with the advent of the 362, it would be crazy not to use this platform. I have seen a few folks using a .25 barrel. Which would be fun, but the novelty likely would wear off. The .20 would be perfect. I also have a spare 24" .177 barrel that Im planning on putting on the 362. Im not a fan of .177, but shooting 10.5gr or higher pellets would give one a better sectional density. And is a really easy mod to do...
Really nice to see this. I've had my steel breech, scope, mounts and other stuff ready to fix up my 362. Just waiting for the right time. I believe you about 900 FPS. I will have to get into some different barrels and a moderator and other cool stuff soon as well.

@@michaelwthalman wow that's awesome!! I'm agreeing with you on the barrell length, probably 20".. which is what comes on it stock. I think the best platform build on the 24" barrell is going to be a Hipak and make it a PCP. That's probably going to be where you can get the best results on a 24" barrell. However, I did get about 40 more fps than it was getting stock. I dont think the steel breech adds any fps and the extended bolt probe is iffy at best. Some say 18-20fps but its probably not significant enough without other upgrades to be that beneficial. I think the power valve and the heavy hammer spring and extended bolt probe and boss transfer port all together may be able to exhilarate the 24" barrell..maybe....I'm gonna find out because I have a boss 1322 valve I'm gonna be trying out on a new stock 362 I have coming and I'll compare it in stock form and then with the power valve and see what happens...happy shooting!!
@@gwhitfield4239 One can always try the Lothar Walther barrels, they are chocked and from what I hear are very accurate. They should be for the price. If I get one it's going to be in .20cal. 5mm has always been my fav caliber. Most of my springers are in .20 and my Sheridans of course are. I was going to build a 1320, but with the advent of the 362, it would be crazy not to use this platform. I have seen a few folks using a .25 barrel. Which would be fun, but the novelty likely would wear off. The .20 would be perfect. I also have a spare 24" .177 barrel that Im planning on putting on the 362. Im not a fan of .177, but shooting 10.5gr or higher pellets would give one a better sectional density. And is a really easy mod to do...
Looks like a sniper's rifle ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I really like this one. I shoot it alot!.
