Perhaps you could take the stock off and take some pics of the trigger group. Also, maybe you can take a pic of the whole rifle? Proportions can also give a good idea.

Interesting example you have there. The safety looks a lot like the Theoben/Gamo/BAM design, but I can't find any reference to a corporate link between Gamo and Crosman. If you do an image search for the model 3100 there are some with the slanted stock nose - but the safety and the wood around the trigger don't look right.

Crosman doesn't list a manual for anything like it (but then they don't list anything for the Mendoza era, either):

The only thing that comes close in the Crosman service date list is the 3100:

The 3100 was imported from 1987-1990 from the Bascaran company, which later morphed into Cometa. (Gamo, Cometa, and Norica are the big Spanish manufacturers, but there are a dozen more smaller ones.) Cometa has cloned Diana designs before, and the Diana style ball bearing breech latch might be a clue to a Cometa connection, but I can't find anything definitive.

You might try the Blue Book Of Airgun Values. It can be purchased, but another strategy would be to request it from your public library via interlibrary loan. In any event, I suspect you will not find direct factory replacement parts. You'll probably wind up taking it apart and measuring the spring/seals to match the dimensions.

I would have to go along with the idea that the rifle is not a Crosman product. Crosman has always been very good at putting their name and model number on things, as apparently none of the models suggested match your gun, the only remaining option is that it is not a Crosman. I thing Slavia has the correct idea as to how to figure it out- but without more pictures (including the full rifle shot I had mentioned at the start of this topic) there is little else to be said at this point.

i tried to get a full picture, but i couldnt fit the entire gun in one picture. ill take it apart and take some measurements of the internals. I know there is a place on this forum that talks about modding air guns...is there a place that has the dimensions of different rebuild kits?
