Resurrecting a Crosman 101 Air Rifle Part 1

[@TeamZcan]

Picked up a Crosman 101 years ago and it has been sitting on my restoration rack patiently waiting it’s turn. Recently picked up the seal/spring kit from Mr Ford, and with your very informative videos will be tackling it soon. Your work and presentation is much appreciated.

Thank you

nice video! I have rebuilt a few 100's, 101's and 102's they are pretty easy once you have the right spanners. I used a cheap (harbor freight) socket to make my castlenut wrench. the size escapes me at the moment.

Great video, I sent you an email about a Benjamin Model 300 I have that i was hoping to get repaired. Thanks and keep making awesome videos.

Very interesting to see makes me think about working on an older Webley air rifle

Excellent vid as always .

Help!!! Absolutely great video... Bought a rebuild kit for my 101... Followed your video to the letter except didn't have better replacement parts like you... I do have the older style flat seal mention in Video #2 not the conical shape but do have the O-ring compression chamber. Anyways after I put the gun together it pumps up OK and fires if I shoot within 10 seconds other wise it leaks out air and has no compression? And thoughts as to where I screwed up or the most likely candidate of point of failure? Thanks!!!

I appreciate this greatly. I have 1 Crosman 100, three 101, and a 102. Only one works, I am very grateful for this breakdown.

Thanks for your kind words. With that many rifles, you are bound to run into something oddball. There were so many variants and many have been rebuilt or 'fixed' that you just never know what you'll find. Now, Get Busy!

Looks a bit like a mix of Crosman 160 and 1300 medalist! _The only reason I hope that my Qb78 won't break is the silly valve tool._

I recently picked up a Crosman 1024. Could anyone help me with what I need to rebuild it? It was my grandfather's

[@NorthWestAirgun]

Sorry, I'm not familiar with the '1024', possibly a '104'?

[@jeremybillie]

@@NorthWestAirgun it's stamped 1024 under the bolt

[@NorthWestAirgun]

@@jeremybillie well, as far as I know, Crosman didn't make a model 1024, so maybe that's a serial #. Take a picture, send it to me at; [e-mail] We'll get that air gun fixed, whatever it is.

[@jeremybillie]

​@@NorthWestAirgun thank you. Just sent

[@NorthWestAirgun]

@@jeremybillie That's a Crosman 101, or if in .177 cal, a 100. Same as the one in our video. Dimensions for the valve tool are here; northwestairguns.com/resurrecting-a-crosman-101/ You can get a kit from Henry Ford, or at Precision Pellet (airgunshop.net)
