Crosman air pistol - General discussion / Re: How many guns do you have?

Last post by rangerfredbob - March 20, 2025, 06:42:30 AM

One of these days I'll get everything I have together again and get a proper count, I've lost count and keep forgetting to add to my spreadsheet... I'm sure there's around 150 but they're all over so hard to tell

Reviving "older" threads is at least a start at resuscitating the forum in general! [...] I believe that the notice at the bottom of the thread (in RED) stating that the thread in more than 68? days old, keeps individuals from replying and suggests starting a new thread. Sometimes this may be the case but other times replying may be totally appropriate.

I'm a moderator on other (unrelated) forums, and I hate it when people think they have to start a new topic just because the old one is old.  I say no; if it's about the same thing, please keep all the related stuff together and don't clutter the forum with more topics about the same thing, which results in all these scattered pieces that should be kept together.  Projects may go for years too; so it makes sense to continue the same topic for the same project.  When a new one is started unnecessarily, things that were in the old topic get repeated needlessly.  Also, if the old topic is continued and if email notifications are working, people who posted earlier in the topic will get a notification that there's a new reply.

Reviving "older" threads is at least a start at resuscitating the forum in general! RE: the OP's ?, my signature lists, I believe, 20. I may have a couple more  . I believe that the notice at the bottom of the thread (in RED) stating that the thread in more than 68? days old, keeps individuals from replying and suggests starting a new thread. Sometimes this may be the case but other times replying may be totally appropriate. Sadly, this forum has lost momentum. I'll admit, interests wax and wane. When, for whatever reason, my interest in air guns is piqued, I'll head to this site to see what's going on. When I see that new posts haven't been made for months, my interest quickly fades in posting to the forum.  .
RE: my collection, I still enjoy shooting, tinkering and even "fondling" my modded ones. 20 +/- may be my max but reaching any "max" shouldn't preclude participation in this great forum. Just sayin'

Crosman air pistol - General discussion / Reading old posts.

I have been browsing and reading old threads. It is not getting my post count up, but it has been informative.

I am back to December of 2012. Some of you already seem like old friends.

Just an update...
I called Crosman on Thursday. New database system so they had to re-enter my personal information.

I was told that they could take my order, but it wouldn't ship for a couple of weeks. The guy started to take my order and discovered that the database didn't have any prices. He told me to call back in a couple of days.

I called today and was told that they can't take orders for a couple of weeks because the database needed to be updated.

Just thought that I would let people know.

I am reading through the old posts and I thought that I would revive an old thread. It has 15 pages of posts between 2013 and 2019.

I have 8, all pistols. Crosman: 2300t, 2x 2240 (one defective from Amazon and  the other the warranty replacement from Crosman), 1377, an old 1008 from decades ago. Others: a Beeman P17, a Umarex Ruger MKII (7.5lb trigger pull) and an IZH-46 that I bought new in the mid-late '90s.

So I've heard.  I guess I must have ordered on the very last few days of service.  My order must be in the moving vans or not yet filled.
