That's some good shooting at 50 yards.. I also own a 362 and was having a little trouble with the weight of the gun so I took the recoil pad off and filled the hollow stock with kitty litter for about a 1lb weight gain that helped a bit and I have also added a Williams peep sight and now it shoots great.. THANKS your videos are very well done..😊
@@JayBolter-v3w Thank you! I’m a big fan of the 362 and own three of them. I tried something similar adding weight to the hollow stock on my Gamo CFX but I didn’t like how I attempted it so I went back to the original configuration.
👍I like what you did there. 😉 Took the words right out of my mouth. You make it look easy. Remember the "hate" people gave it? I DO notice that about my lighter airguns. I "shank" the shot a lot more.
@@jackpotparty58 Thanks! I was surprised by how much more it moved around compared to my Air King. I’ve often read about that tendency with light weight guns but it was neat to experience it. I don’t know if I’d have noticed had I not shot the Air King recently. I remember the bashing this poor gun was getting upon release. I didn’t understand it and held off buying one for a few weeks because of it. I’m glad I bought one when I did! Getting a Chinese made Crosmo/Dais/Gaman gun wouldn’t feel the same to me. I like it for what it is. I do wish they would have included a pressure gauge. That’s a feature I use all the time. I suspect there is probably a way to add one near the fill port but I’ll just live with it. One benefit is it reduces the amount of parts that can leak. My P-rod gauge failed and it leaked from there.
@@yoitired I was pretty curious to see how the 3622 would do compared to the 362. This .22 cal barrel is the same one that was on my first 362. I saw the bluing was worn from the 362 barrel band. I think that confirms our suspicions that the 362 flexes and twists while pumping and causes the POI to shift. The stock and forearm on the 3622 are the same as the 362. I was surprised to find the 3622 is a two piece set. But with two barrel bands and no pumping movement the 3622 is more accurate.
@@airgunsofalaska Ohh that would explain it, I can certainly feel the flexing on the 362 and never liked it it makes me want to take the 880 or 397 instead, well that and accuracy. Yeah I had been thinking I think I prefer pcp or co2 to pumper because of the strain on the gun factor. The 880 is my exception I've been through several and shot out the barrels while the pumps held up then just bought another, but the 397 I'm babying since I can't just get another one. I gotta research WaS's stuff more if there's a brass Benjamin like the 397 that runs on co2 that'd be awesome to have.
@ I disassembled my Mk1 last night and think I discovered the issue. The breech end of the barrel had a very sharp ring in the steel where the rifling started. There was a chamfer but it’s like they didn’t machine it deep enough. I used a conical grinding stone on my cordless drill and smoothed out that abrupt ring. Now pellets smoothly load into the breech. I tested it out shooting around 20’-25’ in my garage and the pellets were all touching on the target with iron sights. That seems encouraging. With the barrel off I couldn’t even press a pellet down into the barrel with my finger. There was so much resistance it appears it was shaving or malforming the pellet before. I also discovered the barrel could be removed without taking the breech off the pressure tube. I didn’t realize that until I’d taken the gun all apart! It’s a lot easier to work on compared to a Crosman 362 or 13xx/22xx. It uses a much bigger brass transfer port instead of that stupid, tiny little silver one on the Crosman guns. The breech screw under the probe was also larger. Overall I was really impressed by how it was designed and able to be disassembled and serviced. I kinda hate to say that but… it’s like the Chinese were thinking about that and how to make things easier. Hopefully this makes the gun shoot accurately now. If it does I’ll be really pleased with it.
@@airgunsofalaska Congrats on finding the problem maybe that's all that was wrong with it! Oh yeah when I disassembled the Stormrider I was pretty relieved with just how simple and easy it was to work on, I agree a lot of thought went into it to make it user friendly. Just watch out for those little screws holding in the barrel I've changed the Chaser barrel only a few times but those twerpy little screws rounded out of course😄 But yeah it's a nice, simple, functional design for a great price.
@ I got a chance to try it out and as far better accuracy at 35 yds than before. Next step is 50 yds to see how it does. It was interesting that it used 3 grub screws to hold the barrel in place. I liked how the middle screw was used to index the barrel to the correct position with the front sight. I also saw how easy it was to R&R the breech o-ring and I tested its fit over a pellet and the o-ring slipped right over the pellet. I feel good about that design now. The wear will be greatly minimized as the pellet doesn’t touch the o-ring or at least barely grazes by. I can see why this design is so popular and used for so many guns of different brands.
Hi buddy..i can tell that you are going to get very good at this..the resting shots were perfect..but i really enjoy watching the off hand shots..they are way harder..i dont have a crosman but i do have a cz200..they kinda look similar..just a wood stock on mine..also nice and light..thank you for another fun video..
@@rayhartley7290 ha ha! For the past year I’ve been throwing the cans in an old garbage so I’ve got a huge supply. I started shooting silhouettes instead but it seems like many viewers aren’t familiar with silhouettes so I’ve switched back to cans.
Hi, actually on off hand you had 4 hits, you didn’t grab the one that flew on the ground, roughly 30% off hand certainly better than I can do, 💯 on bench, no reason to beat yourself up. Fun videos, keep em coming!
@@kurtthomas4746 I think that 4th can was the one I hit after going through my first 10 shots. I saw last night on the TV that I actually hit the first can twice when shooting offhand with a glancing shot at the top. I think it was on my 3rd offhand shot. I’m pretty excited to work on my offhand skills this winter. I can shoot inside my shop at close to 10M using my Daisy 753S. That outta sharpen my skills for next spring and summer. 😀
@@johnnybbgunner2136 This one also got a yellow $ so I had to request a human review. It’s probably because I said barrel and breech and pointed at them I guess? 🤷♂️
One thing i noticed with my 1377 i modded with a longer barrel, fiber front sight, williams peep rear, steel breech, 3d printed pump forend, and crosman stock, was the steel breech was letting air escape and shots were kinda erratic. I put some RTV sealant all around the port the air comes out and made sure no air was escaping at all. A simple tissue held at various places when firing will show if theres any leaks. That and the screw right in front of the chamber... pellets kept getting hung up on that so i melted a crayon and let it drop right on the screw head then closed the bolt and let cool. That little bit of wax filled the hole and made loading way smoother. But that pcp version seems very nice! 5 outta 5 is definitely acceptable 😄
@@aceman1126 Lining up the transfer port, its gasket and breech can definitely be problematic. I absolutely hate the tiny breech screw that uses way too small of an Allen wrench. It’s far to easy to strip out. I replaced those screws with torx head screws in 2 or 3 of my guns. My 3622 went back together without any issues. I like the steel breech far more than the stock plastic breech.
Hey great video - what’s more accurate, the 3622 or the Crosman 2100? Also, if you were to take the 2100 squirrel hunting, at what yardage would you limit your shots to?
@@aprendeelingles The stock 3622 comes with a plastic breech and you can’t properly mount a scope on it. The best mod is installing a Crosman steel breech and that has scope dove tails and increases the accuracy of the gun. The scope mounts they make for using with the plastic breech are cheesy. For accuracy out of the box I think the 2100 is more accurate as its open sights are easier to adjust. Once they have scopes I’d say 3622 but the 2100 also does well with a scope. For squirrel hunting the 3622 is more powerful being a .22 and faster to reload and shoot. I’d not go past 20 yds shooting a squirrel with the 2100 and ideally would try to get even closer so you kill it with a single humane shot.
Agreed 100%! 👍 It’s fun to see what different guns can do. A big part of me thought I was going to do much better offhand with the PCP compared to my Air King. A heavy rifle appears to be easier to hold steady than a light one. But then heavy rifles aren’t much fun to carry around in the field.

How many shots do you get with one fill
I generally only shoot 20-30 shots. That way I don’t have to spend a ton of time pumping it back up.
Shooting from a rest is a test of the gun, but off-hand is a test of the shooter.
Still, not bad for an air gun at 50 yards.
