Help with and airgun kit

[Gun Plumber]

Hello.
I have recently got back into airguns and am shooting with my youngest. He's a good shot but I'm still better-Ha!
I have this old kit that has a Peacemaker and what I believe to be a Smith and Wesson M29 but they are incomplete. Can anyone tell me where I can get the peices to fix them up or if anyone has the stuff. I don't know if I am going to complete them on not but I figured you fellas would be able to help me decide whether or not to bother keeping them.





Thanks for any help/info.
-Randy

Hi there,

From your picture, I can see that the top piece in your picture is a Crosman 44. This is a pretty simple piece to repair, "if you can get the parts." This was a popular piece from the 70's and Crosman no longer has parts for them. You might be able to come across parts from other used sources.

It would appear that for the 44, you are missing the valve, as it is a brass piece that sits prominently in the cylinder, of which is missing in your picture. Along with the valve, you might also need the detente bearing and spring (of which will shoot across the room once the valve is removed; unless you were forewarned to expect that and made provisions to capture them.) However, it would appear that you do have the much coveted cleaning rod and CO2 cover for the 44, of which everyone discards...

The second piece would be a bit of a chore to get up and running. That "M-29" looking frame is actually a Crosman 357 (first model.) However, it appears that you only have the frame... In order to build it up, you will need all of the internals. Unless you can find another complete piece for "very cheap" the combined purchase of all of the internals will run you more than the price of a new 357. You can currently buy a Crosman 357 (Gen 2) for about $73:

I have a set of the 357 with various configurations and barrel lengths (some rebuilt from spare parts.) I constantly use my pair of 357 with the 8" barrels for practice, as well as vermin removal. The 8" barrel housing is made of metal so the barrel won't flex like the plastic ones. Very Powerful and accurate. I am currently working on adapting a shoulder stock to a couple of the 357s.

I also have a couple of Crosman 44s that I had rebuilt from spare parts. Being SAA's, I find them a lot more fun to shoot than the 357s. I made a bird's head grip and shortened the barrel on one of my 44's in sort of a Doc Holiday style piece. A lot of fun out of a cross-draw holster. Also makes for a great rat gun within a 5 yard limit...

I hope that helps. Holler out if you have any questions,

w.w.w.
