    Seems strange to take all reference to "Crosman" off the pistol if they were examples to show stockists. Completely opposite to normal advertising and sales policy.

    If they were pre production prototypes, they wouldn't be fully tooled up until they had gauged the reaction to the pistol perhaps.

    Maybe the stamping man had an off day and missed a few.
    Or the machine broke.
    Or the girl who checked them had had a row with her boyfriend and was upset.

    For purpose of sale I am still going with the special sample story tho!
    Not that I am selling it.

    Think they are just Chinese copies.

    Don't leave it gassed for long periods.
    Do use it.
    Do use Verminpells.

    I use a silicone cloth now and again.
    Microfibre as well.

    Think we are a very small owners club.

    Hi
    A very small club !
    Thanks for tip
    What sort of condition is your pistol!
    I have only been collecting crosman 600s
    for about 6 months and i have 2 boxed ones
    finding a nickel was incredible good luck.
    How many have been located so far?
