Well, you will find a Crosman 600
Can be serviced and maintained by a few specialist airgunsmiths from this forum
They are a painted finish, not blued.
Prices - £250 - £350 for a late boxed model that has been resealed and is in fine working order.
What to look for:- condition and functionality, some are more pellet fussy than others.

Later models have a push button co2 cap which is easier to use I think.
They work best with verminpells.
I would not buy one unless I knew the seller and or had actually tested it.

If a 600 gives a wee burp as the gas runs low,that is OK.If it burps whilst cycling on a full powerlet you are going to need a trigger assembly service. No big deal if you know a serviceman.Best look for gun in good working order.Trev

Love mine , got it of Laurie Armatruda a few years back. Agree it works very well with Verminpell, I normally vent the gas after 3 mags, has have had it jam when it run out of gas. So I normally count out 30 pellets and when there gone change the gas and save a jam. I may be sad but love to watch the pellet shuttle working has some of the co2 is used to cycle the mag
simply one of the best classic co2 pistols ever made.

First of all you won't regret buying a Crosman 600 as they are such fun to shoot and surprisingly accurate.Originally Posted by Clean Shot
There were basically three variations which used different methods to puncture the Co2 capsule. In the first series, with the safety applied the cocking lever is pulled back and the Co2 capsule is inserted with the neck facing forward. The end cap can now be screwed back in until finger tight and then backed off about 1/4 turn until you hear a hiss indicating the chamber is full. The pellets are now placed into the magazine and the spring loaded follower is gently released behind the pellets. Once the safety is released, the pistol is ready to fire.
For the second series, once again with the cocking lever moved back, the Co2 capsule is inserted narrow end towards the rear this time and the end cap tightened. The capsule is pierced with the first pull of the trigger, after which the magazine is loaded as above and the pistol is ready to fire.
The procedure for final series is very similar to the first except the end cap is not backed off after turning and the button fitted at the end of the cap is pressed on a hard surface to pierce the Co2 capsule.
The pistol is pellet fussy and as already stated Webley 'Verminpe'l are recommended to ensure smooth operation. You also need to be really careful about safety, as with the safety off, the gun is always ready to go and if a pellet is lurking somewhere in feeding system you could be in trouble.
Although it's great to just send 10 pellets rapidly down range, Iv'e found so called 'double taps' ie firing two rounds, resting and then firing another two, results in accuracy as well as speed. Expect about 30 full power shots per 12 grm capsule so better stock up. As far as prices go, you should expect to pay around £250-£300 for a nice unboxed example and about £300-£350 for a boxed pistol.
Let me know if you have any further questions.
Regards
Brian
