Default Anyone ever rebuild a 760 pellet gun?

I know its not a real gun but it helps keep the pests out of the bird
feeder, I have a Crossman 760 from when I was just a little kid I am now
over 40 and it just doesn't have power (for a pellet gun) I went to walmart
to buy a new one but they are just a plastic POS with a metal barrol. I like
the heavy solid feel my old all metal and wood 760 has but its a real dud
these days. Can these things be brought back to live or is it just a piece
of my past.


Wayne,

Sounds like you have the original model with the wood stock, gold bolt,
and non-grooved receiver. It's a real classic - keep it forever. I
bought mine back in the late 1960s for about $15, from Sears. Counted
for a lot of squirrels and blackbirds in it's time.

Yes, they are rebuildable. Look up "Bryan and Sons", I believe they
will sell you the parts or do the rebuild for you. They specialize in
old Crosman guns.
