When cruising around this morning and hitting up some local yard sales and happened to run across a deal I couldn't resist. Now I'm just wondering would I be better off restoring it and leave it stock or should I just start the upgrade process? The stamp on the side of the tube leads me to believe it was made May of '89.

It's a Crosman SSP-250 .177 cal.







This thing feels like it was built like a TANK. I have to clean it up and get the C02 cart unstuck so I can see if it even shoots.

I hadn't even heard of one before I saw this one. I basically payed the guy next to nothing for it, so I'm hoping that it isn't really messed up.

Clean it up and restore it. I think it holds more value in stock configuration. Parts diagram available from Crosman and plenty of information about the pistol on the web. Very good score.

A green seer??


I think I probably will just clean this up and leave it stock. It seems to be in great condition. With maybe one little tiny spec of rust..

Grip frame had a lot less metal to it back when this was built. And the hammer and spring are way different.

Funny thing is I feel like the guy was just a one gun type airgun guy. He bought it a long time ago, shot it a few times then threw it in the closet. Then today he decided to bring his "old junk" out and get a couple bucks. I'm still smiling about how cheap I got it for and the fact that I almost had to push my 8 year old son away when the guy said how much he wanted for it. I saw my son race to pull his cash out and I was like "NO, IT'S MINE!!!" I'm in the process of cleaning it up right now and I can tell you that this thing is in immaculate condition. Ill have to get a few more pics when I get it back together.

I think that is a 2-stage hammer. Pull to 1st click for low power and 2nd click for high power.
