Picked up my first Crosman Mark1

[17remfan]

While looking on Ebay lasy week , I spotted really nice Crosman Mark1. This one was in such good condition that I bid on it with about 20 other people and won the bid . I was able to date the build to around 1974 . Many of these pistols are all chipped and dinged up not this one! Its real minty looking. There was no deal in place in the screw on charging cap so I got a new seal. I will charge the gun with a new co2 and check for leaks . I cant wait to try it out.

I picked up a MKI about a year ago, then had to have a MKII. Resealed both of them and they shoot great.

Thanks for the reply. Your Crosman pistols look great. I can see why you would want more than one .

I have one that I bought around '72-3. I still shoot it regularly, Only had to replace the o-ring (from Ace Hardware) on the cap. Quite accurate. Enjoy shooting your new acquisition!

I was one of those twenty people bidding against you. Great looking gun and I still don't have one. Maybe next time!

Great looking!

I have a few of these. Great guns.

Be aware that the stock trigger is excellent on the high power setting (2nd click of the cocking piece), but not so good on low power. Also, make sure that the front/rear nuts that secure the barrel are tight, or accuracy will suffer.

I have one that is mint. I’ be willing to sell. I have no idea of the value.

Just an update on My Crosman Mark1. This weekend I was able to take it out for a few test shots. I was glad to see the pistol was sealed up and did not leak any Co2 . I loaded in a lead free GTO pellet and took the shot . Man this sucker is loud on full power 🙂 , shooting on low power was perfect for plinking plastic bottles. It is wonderfully accurate .The trigger has no creap either on high or low power . I may turn the screw in an eigth just to ease the pull a hair but thats it. I was lucky to get this Crosman and will keep it for ever.

Hey wolfzinAZ cool to hear you were one of the bidders on this pistol .I set my proxy bid real high on this Mark1 . You would have had to bid to the moon to get it . Hang in there . You will get one. Ps Id buy one even if it needs repainting but take your time to find a clean one if you can hold out . Good luck and post back when you get one.
