He then went into the gun-chamber and came back with this: So I asked, for laughs, how much? He said "just take it, I never shoot it and it's here since ten years." You can imagine me being surprised. Edit: It's a Crosman SSP 250 _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Tue Mar 18, 2008 6:43 pm AirGunEric Site Admin Joined: 20 Jan 2007 Posts: 6929 Location: "Out There" Can't beat "free"! _________________ ` I'd say "I care."

Well you did want a Crosman. It should keep you busy for a while.

You know what they say about Dutchies! cw wrote: Cool. Does it function? Hardly, I took it apart. But it wasn't working in the first place, the complete thing dried out, so I'll lube it first and see what happens. Probably will do some minor tuning on this one. Another Crosman is still pending.

Some parts are missing. By the way, this gun seems to be a smooth bore? Does anyone have some info on these? _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Wed Mar 19, 2008 4:15 am Alstone Moderator & Site Supporter Joined: 01 Mar 2007 Posts: 4139 Location: Linconshire, ENGLAND I know that you can get different barrels for them, and it takes about 2 minutes to change but thats about all. Have fun Al _________________   Posted: Wed Mar 19, 2008 4:59 am broommaster2000 Moderator Joined: 10 Mar 2007 Posts: 5714 Location: City of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands Aw well, I'll just put a seriously long 1760 barrel on it, if I can get my hands on one. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Wed Mar 19, 2008 5:03 am AirGunEric Site Admin Joined: 20 Jan 2007 Posts: 6929 Location: "Out There" Al's right- the SSP-250 came with a .177 cal barrel, but .20 and .22 caliber barrels were available for it as well. I believe it also had an adjustable power output (high/low). It's not that old- maybe 15-20 years, but still interesting. I can't see a parts or owners manual for it on the Crosman website. If anyone has a parts listing for it- post it up! _________________ ` I'd say "I care." But I'd be lying.

If anyone has a parts listing for it- post it up! I've found that most parts are exchangeable. Mine doesn't have adjustable power from what I can tell. It also seems to have a smooth bore. I'm planning to replace it with a 2289 barrel or maybe a 1760, I'll also try to get my hands on an RJ breech. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Wed Mar 19, 2008 9:12 am Alstone Moderator & Site Supporter Joined: 01 Mar 2007 Posts: 4139 Location: Linconshire, ENGLAND Have a look here Anton: Link 1 Link 2 I haven't bothered to translate the bottom one as I assume you can manage.

Just stripped the whole thing down first, which is as easy as doing the laundry. Then lubed it with Ballistol, and just put it back together. I inserted a CO2 cardridge, just to see if it was still leaking, and it was working fine. Even my mum was proud! _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Wed Mar 26, 2008 5:23 pm broommaster2000 Moderator Joined: 10 Mar 2007 Posts: 5714 Location: City of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands It's now over at one of the dutch Airgun-forum guys. He's refurbishing the whole thing for me, something he offered to do for free. He also is checking out my 22something so it's good to go. Still a lot to be done about it, but that's gonna be my job! I just don't know how to thank this guy. Off course, thank this forum too, without it I wouldn't have gotten myself a Crosman to pimp, I think. I'd be shooting something like an FWB300 or something. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Wed Mar 26, 2008 5:26 pm Rogerflat Silver Status Member Joined: 03 Jan 2008 Posts: 2051 Sounds like the guy at the firing range was really just saying, "Here, you throw this away." _________________ I done been assisted by the trees and rivers.
