CROSMAN'S FORGOTTEN INNOVATION, THE 600 PELLET PISTOL

[@WalnutandSteel]

their marketing in the past few years have been bewildering to say the least.

[@JaceBell]

Thanks for watching.

[@NolanMoffatt-r6d]

Cool pistol thanks for sharing

[@JaceBell]

Thanks for watching.

[@MegaSkyline69]

I've got one of those in .22 in its original box. It did go full auto for a while, but it was resealed and sorted out by a well-known gentleman who is a CO2 professional here in England. So now, it works great. Good video mate, you just picked up another subscriber. 👍🏻

[@JaceBell]

Thanks very much. Cheers!

[@P.Trim69]

Yes Sir

[@JaceBell]

Thanks for watching .

[@apexairsolutions]

It is the best thing they ever made it is one of the best pellet gun designs I've ever seen and I personally would love to replicate it in 30 caliber

[@JaceBell]

@@apexairsolutions Yeah man. Make it 30 cal and hpa. That would be sweet. Thanks for watching.

[@HobbiesHobo]

Hey Jace, I cleaned up one of those for a friend many years ago, never actually tested it though. I had never seen one before and you're right, it was a very cool design, innovative for it's day. Merry Christmas and all the best for the new year! Mike.

[@JaceBell]

@@HobbiesHobo Hey there Mike! Nice to hear from you again. The 600 pistol is pretty slick. Happy Holidays to you also. Thanks for watching.

I have one these which sat in a drawer for years. It leaked Co2 through the barrel as soon as a bulb was fitted but I always felt that one day I would find a seal kit for it to restore it. Then, to the rescue comes Henry Ford Airguns. I bought the seal kit included a new valve stem and away she went. It holds gas forever and rarely jams. A truly special pistol from an era when Crosman made superb airguns. The likes of which we'll never see again. I read somewhere that Crosman have lost the ability to remake the 600. Thanks for a great presentation. I have subscribed. Best wishes from England.

[@JaceBell]

@@darrencady4261 Yes my pistol leaked also, but I dumped tons of Crosman pelgun oil into it and the pistol eventually became air tight. As far as remaking this pistol, I believe it is absolutely possible. Yes airguns from this era were great. Most rifles came with wooden sticks instead of plastic. Thank you very much for watching and subscribing.

[@JaceBell]

@@darrencady4261 Also, thanks for the kind words.

[@Desperado3248]

They all leak eventually. When they work, and I still have one that does, they are great shooting pistols. Fast and accurate. They can be modified to hit 450-500 fps. Crosman should have reissued a modernized version of this classic

[@JaceBell]

@Desperado3248 I think every 600 that I have seen modified to shoot faster has had a longer barrel and new seals installed. I would love to see an updated version of this from Crosman. Thanks for watching.

[@bernardwills3217]

Grossman should be making this clever & simple design.Before some Company copy the design.

[@johnnybbgunner2136]

That is a nice pistol.

[@JaceBell]

Yes it is!

[@JaceBell]

Thanks very much.

This was a badass pistol. 😊

[@JaceBell]

Yes I agree. Thanks for tuning in.

[@mcburgerking1523]

Still is, I have all my 600’s, from back in the day 60’s, back then they cost about 20.00 and some change, the .22pellets were about 45 cents a tin!

[@JaceBell]

@mcburgerking1523 cool!

[@johnnybbgunner2136]

I picked up the pumper, BB rifle and the ten tins of the .177 pellets last year.🤠🇺🇸

[@JaceBell]

The 100th anniversary rifle? How do you like it? I hear some complaints about the build quality.

[@johnnybbgunner2136]

@ I like it and have found no flaws on my rifle. They were a little pricey and I think most buyers might have expected more for it being a 100 year anniversary edition.

[@LowkeyAirgunner]

I wished I had the budget to get the cool tins it was not too bad of a deal

[@AnthonyUpson]

I had one of those back in the 1960s I bought it new in Cheltenham in the uk a very interesting pistol.

[@JaceBell]

@@AnthonyUpson Very interesting indeed and fun to shoot. Thanks for watching. Cheers.

[@LowkeyAirgunner]

We went from schnabel forearms to full plastics 😢😂

[@JaceBell]

Variety is the spice of life.

[@LowkeyAirgunner]

@JaceBell Old spice used to smell better 🤔😂

[@JaceBell]

Yes it did

[@JaceBell]

Actually the only plastic in this video is on the grips of the pistol. Everything else is aluminum, steel, brass, or wood (on the rifle).

[@LowkeyAirgunner]

@JaceBell I was talking about the nicely shaped Woodstock at the beginning Vs what they offer nowdays haha

[@prajwalwali1323]

Now can any one manufacture this type of pistols

[@JaceBell]

I am sure it could be done. The closest modern version I can think of in a pcp format is the Huben GK1.

[@apexairsolutions]

Okay Jay so here's the deal crossman hired a guy to engineer that pistol he was a sewing machine engineer and he took so many years to perfect it that by the time they got to market the market had moved to cheaper guns and they lost the money on it

[@JaceBell]

Thanks for your insight. I appreciate it.

[@apexairguns-y5b]

Heck yeah I love that gun I've bid on a few of them on eBay I'm definitely going to get one I actually want to copy the action in 30 caliber ​@@JaceBell

[@JaceBell]

Aw man, I can't wait to see that!!

[@mcburgerking1523]

They the same, with the Thompson/ Greasegun!

[@JaceBell]

@mcburgerking1523 No. This is completely different. It is the Crosman 600.

[@fingerfeller]

nice looking tool, almost 1911 looking , attractive , but i never heard of it, maybe Daisy came up with something to compete with that launcher that worked better, duno

[@JaceBell]

I have always thought that Crosman pistols that have originated from this era mimic the Luger pistol. Especially the shape of the trigger and the angle of the grip. Even the sights in my opinion look similar to the Luger sights. Some of the old Crosman models are still being sold today and still retain the same look. Thanks for tuning in.

[@fingerfeller]

@@JaceBell i have only recently became interested in pistols with public mass "endings" occurring everywhere more often, i dont see myself going to a school for anything being 60 years old, but grocery stores and car jackings at stop lights and stop lights , malls etc, i dont want to be a hero but i dont want to be simply a witness nor victim, so ive been researching concealed less l3athal tools. thats what brought me to your video, i saw 600 and thought "wow thats a lot of pellets or bbs, i wonder what fps or joules it has , is it auto, etc... " , but was not disappointed , as old as that gun is you showed i wouldnt shoot it either, and yes the extended barrel behind grips take way the 1911 look now on a second look , i did sub after watching and hope to visit

[@JaceBell]

Yes the gun violence is very unfortunate. It seems like it happens most in big cities, but I understand it can happen anywhere. My brother carries a pistol (concealed legally) and his training tells him to avoid the use of it if possible. Also with all of these violent incidents that have occurred, many folks like you are looking for a self defense option. CO2 pistols like the 600 are not the way to go in my opinion. They are way to under powered. If it has to be an airgun for self defense, I would choose the best pcp pistol on the market today. Which is the Huben GK1. Good luck with your search, thanks for commenting, and happy New Year.

[@JaceBell]

And thanks for subbing.

[@fingerfeller]

@@JaceBell thanks Jace, have a great 25'

[@Davidtuscano-f6o]

I had this gun in 1971. It was my Dads. You could use this gun for self defense. Maybe that’s why they quit making it.

[@JaceBell]

It's not that powerful, but it will give some bruises. It can go through a soup can though. Thanks for watching.

[@johnnybbgunner2136]

Gotta be due to the weight of the pistol.

[@JaceBell]

@@johnnybbgunner2136 It is not heavy in my opinion.

[@Erik-d3y5f]

Why do they make a bunch of weak junk when they can make in a power pressure stuff that can be used for home protection of self-defense or hunting even you know they make garbage

[@JaceBell]

I guess they are trying to keep costs low. Thanks for watching.
