WTB Crossman 760 or such a like

[Buckmaster]

Looking for a used cheap functioning BB gun for backyard plinking. Tell me what's in the back of your closet. You can keep the skeletons.

Back when I was a 1970's kid I had a Crossman 760 pumpmaster.

Buckmaster,

I have recently purchased 2 different bb guns for my kids and one of them was a crosman 760. They are pretty cheap if you get a brand new one, I think I bought ours for less than $40 at wally world. They don't build them as good as back when we were kids that's for sure, but they will still kill some birds. Good luck finding one or buying one. Beware of buying a used BB gun though as the seals can wear out in them easily if they aren't oiled properly.

Look into the Powerline 880...used to be the fastest gun they make. Sorry, I'd never sell mine!

Same one I had, that thing had power for a BB gun. I shot many many blackbirds with mine as a kid.

Both the PL880 and the Crosman 760 are 35-45 bucks new on Amazon.

Be sure to go through the Amazon link from TOO if you go the new gun route...

I had a powerline 880 as a kid also and killed a ton of birds with it and even a few felines!

I desire a circa 1970's version, not today's plastic guns. Current models can be had for $ 35-50 but I wanted an older one. If I can't find one than I'll pick one up at Wally World in the months ahead. I remember selling mine to the kid down the street for $ 15.00 back around 1984-ish. He lost it in the woods later that summer.

I had a Crossman 1400 and my buddy had the Sheridan pump up air rifles and them things were badass.... We could drop rabbit pheasnt squirrel and the ocasional coon when we saw them..... I shot a mallard in the head once and didn't phase that SOB..... That one still haunts me rotflmao Started with the 760 and if I remember right it was all wood..... No plastic..... .177 pellet or BB.... The 1400 was a .22 cal pellet only and the sheridan was a 5mm if I remember right as well..... Good times and memories....

That's the one I had. I'd like to rekindle the spirit by getting another one of that era.
