Greetings from Ottawa

#1 Post by GMorry »

I am in Ottawa, and just came across this forum when searching for a way to sell my air pistol. I have had a Crosman Mark II (.177) air pistol since I was a kid (also had a couple of air rifles over the years too). Used to shoot in the basement, and at the cottage for plinking. Haven't used the pistol in many years, though. Recently I tried it out and it had suffered from lack of use, as the seals were leaking. I found a replacement kit on EBay and did my best to fix the pistol, but something isn't right; it holds a CO2 charge now, but when I fire it, the pressure escapes around the handle. I think something is misaligned inside, but I am not inclined to go to the effort to disassemble it again. I looked into paying to get it fixed, but it was going to be frightfully expensive (way more than I am willing to pay for a gun that I probably paid $30 for almost 40 years ago).

So here I am trying to sell it. I am looking to buy a new air pistol - probably a Crosman American Classic pump model (P1377). This may admittedly not see much more use than the last one, but at this point I am hoping to have a bit of fun with the kids and show them how to shoot an air pistol.

Welcome to the forum Gmorry! I hope you'll find an appropriate home for your Crosman Mark ll.
