I forget what I have Louis I've seen a crosman 100 in the US that I may make an offer on -if it's still there but it was a leaker and even at mates rates is still a bit spendy
that's a nice looking late c series you have

think its safe to say, you like crosmans ped. atb mick
No, because they are by all accounts a bit rubbish.
Actually I either put a low bid in on one at auction a while ago, or seriously considered doing so, but only because I wanted to experience the reported rubbishness and retain the option of selling it for at least what I’d paid.
I prefer American CO2 rifles and my pump up collection is pretty modest :
Crosman 147
Benjamin 312
Benjamin 347
Sheridan C
Sheridan C9A
Setra AS1000
Sharp Innova
I ll just throw this into the mix, but John Bowkett made a few stunning single and multiple pump rifles and pistols.....one I now own along with a Genesis (3 times the weight)and a Daystate Sportsman mk 2......but the one I regret was a Laiser 12 I was offered way back and I declined

Custom BSA S10 .22 PAX Phoenix Mk 2 .22 Custom Titan Manitou .22 (JB BP) HW77 .22 FWB Sport Mk1 .22 Sharp Ace .22 Crossman 600 .22 Berretta 92 .20 Desert Eagle .177
JB knew Adam Whaley and handled his personal Whaley Crosman at the shop in Hornsey. It dumped all the air with each shot and was fitted with a long .177" HW35E barrel. A bit different to the punters versions. There was also some dispute over one copying another with Marshall Crosmans, JB told me. Accuracy with those was not helped by the threaded holes for the rear sight screws going clean though into the rifling
Information supplied by JB. The Laiser 12 was made by a chap named John Brown. He bought a compound lever 12 ft/lbs single stroke from JB. John Brown made his version of that but it didnt work so he approached JB with another design asking for help and advice. The result was the Laiser 12 on which he paid JB a licence fee for each rifle sold. That was 6 in all before John Brown stopped due to ill health. One of his customers for the Laiser 12 was a certain Graham Bluck. Say no more
