Crosman used Elm extensively in the 1950s. My theory is at that time Dutch Elm disease was destroying all the elm trees in the US. The wood was probably dirt cheap? They used maple after WW2 cause they bought it as war surplus. They liked to make a profit.

Not a Crosman but I have an old Haenel model 1 that has strange timber fitted, I was told it was Elm among other stuff!!
It's really strange, lose up it seems to resemble Oak!!
