Cheers. My interest lies with the .20 example. Thanks anyway. Seems it is now sold, too, so good skittles (knew this one wouldn't be around for long).

don't think they make a 20 cal version. just 177,and 22. are you thinking of the sheridan bluestreak.

hi lads, crosman made three variants of the 140, all in .22 in (1954) (1955/1957)
and the last 3rd variant in ( 1956/1962 then some mods in 1961/1968) no mention of .177 or.20
have checked my 75 years of crosman airguns 1923 / 1998.. hope this helps.. J.S.D.

I think that the 0.177 version was called the Crosman 147.

[JSD]

hi webman, yes you are correct, the 147 is in .177 kind rgds.. J.S.D.

As there's a no chit chat rule in the sales section I thought I'd better move this thread so you can carry on now that the gun is sold.

I have three or four 140s --- I take it the ones with the safety catch running through the stock woodwork is from the early 1960 production run ?



All the best Mick

You are correct. I have one and they are indeed superior to the modern Crosmans. I believe that some Crosman 140s were made in their Canada plant and an earlier 140 had the trigger in the stock?

[smallholder1]

Yes my one has the trigger in the stock

Thanks Mick. Good Skittles. This thread has by default become very informative, so cheers for moving it as it would've been a shame to loose these facts and figures via the deletion of non sales related chit-chat posts, as would've had to've been the case if left in the sales section.
