Crosman 140 - safety switch -wossit like?

[elliot_rowley]

I brought an old crosman140 from an antuques shop a couple of months ago, but ut was in a bit of a state, but nothing I couldn't fix.

I was having a little trouble with how things were put together, so I brought another one from here, hopign it would have a full safety catch.

All there seems to be is a half circle that you couldn't turn with your fingers.
(Looks a bit like a "D", and is about 1mm high & next to the trigger)

I have a feeling that there was a lever that sat over the top of the "D" that people loose.

Does anyone know what they really look like.....or even have a piccy?

Cheers,
Elliot

Not a Crosman 160 is it ?

Elliot, I've e-mailed you a pic' of the complete safety piece. The same item was used on later Crosman 140, 160, 180, 400, & 1400 models.
May be hard to find one...or you can decide to live unsafely!

Fantastic picture Don,
Right on the button.

And it was just as I thought....a little teardrop lever that plugs onto the "D".

Chambers Gunmakers don't seem to have that little bit in their list of items.
Gonna have to see what I can do.

Thanks for your help guys.
