New addition to my Crosman 150 collection

[Wayne52 †]

Well I didn't take any pictures of the gun until I had it all back together all sealed up nicely with all new o rings and only a short 5 hours soaking of the valve poppet.  I really didn't expect it to seal as good as it did because the gun had been sitting for years and I must say that it really came apart easily compared to the Ted Williams, that gun was glued together by the corrosion.  The only extensive corrosion in it was around a 112 o ring where the valve and spring/pierce housing screw together.  All the o rings that were in it still had surprising elasticity to them and came of in one piece though. I used the blue urethane o rings (best) for the two 113's, a 112 BunaN 90 duro and two 007 BunaN 90duro's.

For the inside of the tube I used fine steel wool for the little bit of rust in it and it cleaned up nicely.  Looking down the barrel it doesn't seem to have even been broken in really but it soon will be, it is shooting really good though. All I did for cleaning the barrel is pushed some tight oiled patches through it and a couple dry ones.  The only polishing I did was on the aluminum o ring grooves for the tube cap and where the o rings in the valve go. I think it's good to go for a very long time again but hopefully it gets used.  The worse thing that happens with the old co2 guns is non use and drying out.

The first two pictures are 1920x1080 and the rest are 1280x720





The Trigger group frame paint is about as close to being 100% that I've seen.


Whatever it was that cause the stripes in the bluing will probably always be a puzzle to me

That's a fine specimen, great job keeping another vintage pistol alive and shooting

Another beauty Wayne!
I sure do like the white grips... adds a bit of classy elegance to it.

Thanks Brutuz and Hoosier Daddy !!! I've been using the 19.5 grain cast pellets with my 150's and they all shoot them very good, recently I found out that NOE is going to build a .22 wadcutter mold in .22 as well, I'm going to buy one for sure because of the weight of the lightest ones which I predict will be about 16.5 grain for the lightest ones.  I always liked the way that wadcutters printed on a target.
