1966 Crosman 760 parts and a tool review

[@DiegoEguia-te6uh]

I have one where the barrel is where a screw goes it's leaking air though there I wanna at least get it up and running again

[@elgmichoacan818]

Just got one for 100 bucks gonna be my project for the next couple weeks this video will help me so much

[@tfknauss]

I need to get back on mine and see if I can get it done. Good luck!

[@robertfakler8564]

Interesting to see the insides. Looks like a nice indoor winter project. Won't be too long until it's time to start planning this years garden.

[@terrybest8973]

Thank you my friend it's not to often somebody like you comes along with value and some real american pride in some things so thank you loved the story the gun and great video

[@tfknauss]

What kind words Terry, thank you. Glad you enjoyed the video.. I wish I was more tech savvy and could produce better and longer videos, learning as I go. Thanks again, Todd

I have a 760 Powermaster Crosman pellet gun. For some reason the trigger doesn't work anymore. Any ideas why?

[@tfknauss]

Sorry in delay getting back with you. You will need to tear the gun down and inspect... but there are springs in there, disconnected or broke. Trigger mechanisms seem to be easy to find for parts,, the older the gun the harder though. Good luck!

[@tylerparker3024]

I have an older 760 thats similar to yours but without the wood stock and i cant figure out which parts i need or where to get them. It doesnt hold pressure.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hi Todd! My First new BB gun was a Crossman 760 that I received about 1973 maybe? It wasn't the original style "Tootsie roll" model like you have but mine still had a nice wood stock. The gun was super accurate with both pellets and BB's! Even darts! LOL My Dad and I would shoot out a candle at 10 meters... Loved that gun. Thanks!!!!!

[@tfknauss]

They are very accurate!

[@jamesfoust8905]

This part came out of my Power Master 760 but I have no idea where it goes

[@OldSneelock]

Hi Todd. I noticed that the last two videos have the comments turned off. Is it on purpose or just a mistake? One of my favorite things is reading comments and sharing ideas.

[@tfknauss]

Oh,, should not be turned off. I will check thanks!

[@tfknauss]

I did some changes, see if its working now, if not do you know how to change that so you can?

[@davidcummings9722]

Hey Todd, I replaced the 4 seals along with the pump cup assembly and the breech seal and bushing on my vintage 760 and now I am not getting any pressure when pumping up this crosman. Is there a certain position the trigger need to be to line up with the inner workings? I had this rifle apart several times and still no pressure is building up. Thanks for the videos

[@tfknauss]

I'm in the same situation, if you read some of other conversations with others also having issues. I'm not sure what I am missing or doing wrong. There is a guy who repairs bb guns in Mt. Victory, Ohio. I think I may go see him and see what he thinks.

[@davidcummings9722]

@@tfknauss that screw you were missing holds the valve in place. My third attempt on reassembly when I pumped rifle on about the fourth pump it would sound as if it shot but very weak, that’s when I started to think maybe the trigger needed to be set in a certain position in relation to the valve assembly. Todd if you’d still looking for the magnetic bolt I have an extra I can send out to you. No charge, I know how difficult these parts are to find. Thanks for your response.

[@tfknauss]

@@davidcummings9722 Well I thought that screw was a key.. I need to find that yet to replace. I appreciate the offer on the bolt replacement, but I got it fixed and works good.

[@mrbergie1]

I am having the same issue cannot get it to pump up after replacing everything. It was working before just would not hold air very long. Installed new kit and have taken it apart five timesRecheck everything still nothing.

[@tfknauss]

@@mrbergie1 feel the fustration! lol we'll figure it out.

[@brycestewart9493]

My issue is I have a older one not the first variant. I go to pump it get to 4 and it fires without pulling the trigger. I have no clue about why but I bought it oiled it and used it like 10 times the. That happens please let me know if you know what’s going on

[@tfknauss]

Wow, I have a few older types of pellet pump guns,, I never heard of that happening. Have you checked some of the BB gun forum sites... there are "gun smiths" who focus on these type models - they would for sure know what causes that... and it's not safe at all. Good luck, keep me posted how it turns out. Thanks

[@alanh.5383]

CountryPeddlerTKnauss, is it still not working right? You might describe exactly what it's not doing and what you replaced so maybe someone from the comments section can help. I've rebuilt quite a few of them recently and so far I've been able to overcome issues and get them all working again.

[@tfknauss]

Yes on the original 760, after replacing the parts it's not holding air. So I need to record me working it and then tearing it down again. See where I went wrong. Some of the viewers gave me some extra parts I needed as well. So I just need to find the time now. I wish Crosman would put out a better breakdown of the gun to use. Thanks!

[@pzp6r8]

@@tfknauss I am having the same problem. Not holding air before and after replacing the o-rings. Mine was pretty dirty inside so I don't think it was ever taken apart before. Please post what you found when and if you fix your 760. There are not many videos of these older 760's. thank you for posting yours.

[@tfknauss]

@@pzp6r8 I hope to get on it once weather changes and I am inside again. Thanks!

[@pzp6r8]

@@tfknauss I have found out that when I pump it up quickly I can hear air leaking out the end of the barrel.

[@alanh.5383]

@@pzp6r8 did you replace all four of the seals? From what I've seen, the tiny 'quad seal' inside the valve cap is normally the troublemaker. I was buying replacements like currently on eBay "Vintage Crosman 760 or 130 brass valve cap with new quad seal and o ring nos" but I've figured out that with patience I can replace that seal myself. Unless the trigger is jammed and keeping that open it's about the only thing that would let air leak out of the barrel, unless for some reason the valve cap can't move freely in the exhaust valve ring or if the main valve cap seal is bad.

[@damon7845]

I wish there was a video of puting this back together.

[@tfknauss]

Well I need to do it again because it still does not work,, when I do it, I will try to do the recording,, I have trouble down loading the long videos on my computer. Thanks!

[@lessmith2633]

@@tfknauss let me know when you take the 760 power master down again with a video. I’m in uk so not many parts around and someone has had a go before. Brass flat top valve but it isn’t cocking and brass valve is not far enough back for some reason? The valve can be seen in line with the front screw hole? Wondering about cocking mechanism, a photo of the valve assembly in correct order and cocking spring and hammer in order would be handy👍

[@tfknauss]

@@lessmith2633 Ok will do.

[@powerplay4real174]

That .22 cal magnum is something special I have never seen one in real life time only on You Tube , but I'm very knowledgeable of the Crosman 2100 Classic in .177cal 😊

[@powerplay4real174]

They look just alike only difference is the caliber is .177 vs. .22 😎

[@brianjohnson5144]

can you get a new brass valve body for a 1973 or so crosman 760

[@tfknauss]

I have only found used ones, and I called Crosman company - they do not carry that older of model parts. I don't know if a newer model valve body could work??

[@brianjohnson5144]

@@tfknauss thanks looks like garage sale time

[@brianjohnson5144]

There is a plastic replacement pump piston with a rubber cup to pump the air about $10.00 on ebay I fixed 3 of them this winter amazon has the pre 1970 seal kit. Was a great winter project

[@tfknauss]

@@brianjohnson5144 Was your gun the same model as mine? I still am having problems getting it to seal air.. was wondering who it was you used on ebay for parts if so.

[@brianjohnson5144]

@@tfknauss Yes the same model the little brass piece that fits on the back of the brass valve body inside the gun there is a seal inside that little brass piece that fits on the nipple that has to be carefully removed from inside there and another one carefully put in there so you don't rip it that is the most important seal and the gun

[@powerplay4real174]

Would you sell it ?? I luv the Pumpmaster 760 air rifles , & had one as a youth and it made childhood a pleasurable experience and it still is a hobby of mine as a adult 😊

[@terrybest8973]

you must be my age about 52 i had the 766 crosman in about 1978 or 1979 cant remember and a daisy golden eagle 1000 all my buddies had the red ryders but the 1000 was much stronger than the red ryder bb gun plus i had the bad boy 766 just like the 2200 but in 177 caliber and the receiver is a little different at the top back part every thing ealse is the same other than caliber very nice guns all them the 2200 the 2100 the 766 the 760 the 761xl the 66 powermaster even the new legacy 1000 if you buy the newer 2100 classic metal receivers and put them on the legacy 1000 well then it is a good gun to why they dont just make them with a metal receiver i dont know any way i love your videos thats the stuff im into to lol lol

[@tfknauss]

Thanks, and yup, double nickle. lol

[@terrybest8973]

@@tfknauss het bud you should go to walmart for 50 somthing bucks and get a crosman legacy 1000 and then go on ebay and look up crosman 2100 metal recievers about 30 bucks for both sides and the same guy has the screws they are fine thread self taping screws you need them the one that come in the plastic receivers wont work but very much worth it to do this conversion to the 1000 legacy crosman
