I have that exact one from 1968, I would have been in 8th grade. I also graduated from the Daisy lever action to the Crossman. I once shot 80 Cicadas out of an elm tree one summer day with it. The secret was to have the tree act as a backstop. I took a rabbit out with 6 pumps a few years back with it. I also put a 20 dollar scope on it and had a blast sighting it in. Remarkably fun and reliable instrument.
Yep I got my 760 in the early 70s, I had a Daisy lever action around 69' in 6th or 7th grade. No comparison in the performance. You are probably my brothers age.
It's Deja Vu all over again. I got mine Christmas 1967, in the 8th grade. Crosman had two ads that year as I recall. One that was ubiquitous "Giant Killer" ad and the other was a holiday ad that told kids to cut the ad out, circle the picture of the gun, and leave it laying around the house to for mom and dad to see. Corny, but it worked for me. The gun wore out after a year (thousands of BBs, several "O" rings, and one rear sight that broke off). I moved up to the Crosman 140 the next Christmas. Wore two of those out.
So *that's* why the bolt was so smooth and easy to operate on that gun! I was just reminiscing about the gun I grew up with, thought I'd try a youtube search, and sure enough, you have the exact same one with a similar personal connection to it! Wore that sucker out over the years never understanding everyone else's gun took so much more effort to operate. Thanks for the vid and the memories!
You have to love reminiscing about bb guns that you grew up with. I am lucky to still have my first bb gun, A Red Ryder I got for Christmas, when I was nine. I have had a few get lost in moves or just misplaced but having something for that long, with so many memories really means something. Thanks for sharing your bb gun memory.
I purchased my original Crosman 760 in the very early 1970s from Kmart. The price was $24.99. I still have it to this day and it's in mint condition. It is one of the most accurate BB/ pellet rifles that I have owned. I installed new seals in it last year and it works just as well as the day that I bought it.
I added a rubber butt pad with a piece of metal inside it. That made the stock heavier and feel more like a rifle than a plastic toy gun. When I pick it up it feels like it is ready for business.
I bought one of these at an estate sale that appears pretty old, i paid $80 (i know i overpaid), but ive never had so much fun with this thing in my life!!! It's incredibly accurate and super strong if you pump it 3 times, i love it so much. Mine is all solid wood and pretty heavy.
I have a 760 that I bought as a boy in about 1968. Still works great. I did have the seal replaced in about 1970 but not since. The service dealer at the time recommended that I store it with 2 pumps of air in it to preserve the seals which I have faithfully done ever since. I was told I could pump it up to 25 times but now I believe they say a maximum of 10 pumps. I wonder why.
I keep mine stored with one pump. I have heard that pumping them more than ten times could damage the seals. I remember seeing a video where the guy pumped bb guns more than ten times and showed that, after ten pumps, you didn't gain that much more velocity. Thank you for your comment.
I'm 30 and have my original pump master 760 from 1995 my parents bought for me, it's all metal and wood no plastic at all the black paint/bluing on the metal parts have been wore down to bare aluminum/metal showing just regular wear fr use never been rebuilt and shoots 690 fps and my new one I bought a month ago is all plastic comes with no pellet clip like they use to or fiber optic front sight like the mid 2000s ones had. And my older one from 90s more pumps the harder the trigger pull is and actually if you pump it up to 15 pumps it will get 870 fps with bb and 890 with pellet. I love my old one from 90s but don't shoot itucj to keep it in prestine shape for years to come. I have never had to mess with the sights that comes on both guns windage or elevation at all I put the rear sight at lowest position and I can hit a almost sub zero with it at 25 meters with pellets. The power master is the ultimate small rodent and bird killing machine for kids since they was first made, kids these days have no interest in a bb gun or pellet riffle at all they wanna play video games. And I was born in 1992 so I was a kid I couldn't stay inside play video games inside had nothing to do besides TV or help Mom clean or cook so we always stay outside playing the creeks in the woods and with her pellet guns and BB guns and just being boys. And if your squirrel hunting with it with pellets it's a pain in the but to take all the noises bbs out of it so we left them in and my parents new where me and All my friends was in the woods behind house cause of the noise of the bbs rolling in our guns lol. It was like ten of us who would run around with our pump masters. The new ones barley last one year with normal use using few times a week by a kid running with it will last about a month or two before the seals go out in the pump cup
Hello Charles...thank you for the video. I am 71 years old and just bought the old gun you describe at an estate sale. Since the last BB type of gun I shot as a we lad was a "BB Gun" I am wondering what type of pellet this gun should use. I notice online [Amazon] they show a pointed version of a pellet, but, I'm wondering if it has to be round for this type of gun.
You could use the pointed type. There are all sorts of pellets on the market. Some may be too long to load in the 760. You can sometimes get sampler boxes of pellets to let you try different styles from one manufacturer. You will probably to find one pellet that works best for your 760. Thank you for the comment and have fun shooting your 760.
The nostalgia of youth is a big part of air rifles and bb guns. Thank you for sharing your 760 story....although a sad ending, I am sure you have some fond memories of shooting the classic 760.
@@CHARLESCRANFORD Yep...I remember walking through a wooded/field across the street from our house with our dog just shooting at stuff when I was in my early teens. We shot our BB guns on the front lawn back yard etc. Back then cops could have cared less. No crazy stuff was happening back then like today.
Even my Crosman 2289 now, is much different than my grandfather's was from the 1970's. I remember shooting it as a teenager in the '80s. My new one has a plastic breach, plastic collar to hold the barrel to the body (garbage) which makes any small scope you put on it, go off centre with a bump, because it's a barrel mounted scope and the barrel rolls a bit. On the plus side, it came with a stock to turn it into a carbine. Something my grandfather's did not, although it was available and they knew how to charge for it too. I remember it wasn't cheap, hence why he never bought it, nor did I. Now they just include it, hehehe. They do make steel breaches aftermarket and steel barrel collars which make that much better (and holds the stupid barrel still, lol). But you're talking an extra $70 in upgrades, for a $70 gun. Like you said, to make that same gun today, would cost $150 and it would even with new Crosman's in other models. Upgrade even some of the plastic in that with metal parts and you'll get up there close to what that old school one was quality wise pretty quick. 100% right, good vid.
Thank you for the comment. I had a 1377 without the bolt, one of my old bb guns that I don't know where it went. (lost while growing up and moving away from home) I have one each of the new 1377 and 1322 and you are right you can spend a lot of money upgrading parts. It is true with almost any hobby, the sky is the limit. I guess companies have to make the "cheaper" guns to get people into the hobby, so they later buy the better quality guns that come with higher price tags. Thank you again for the complement and the comment "chat".
I had the late eighties early 90s Crossman that looks like the newer 760 but more square.. People use to say 12 pumps was like a .22 which is around 1000fps non-LR. I seen the same rifle go through a human hand clean. I had pretty much every Daisy, Crossman, and Marksman in the 90s, but never had the expensive Benjamins or whatever the wooden ones were. I even had the M16 Daisy and the full-auto Crossmans.
Thank you for sharing your bb gun memories. I grew up shooting my Red Ryder and my Grandfather's 760. I also shot my friend's 880. I did save up and get a Benjamin 392 (the wood stock version). That is a nice air rifle. I have lots of bb guns now, but those old models come with a nostalgia that you just can't get now. Thanks again for sharing.
Yes, I had the 1st variant as a teen. Cryin' shame I did not hold onto it. I also had a Red Ryder target edition from the 60s with the hooded front sight. I'm going tell anyone who has these guns that they should be retained for your children and their children. ALL of the seals are still readily available for the old as well. Just because that old pumper isn't THWACKING like it should is no reason to abandon it.
Thank you for sharing. I think a bunch of these bb guns on ebay are from families that didn't have children to pass them on to. Or maybe their kids were not interested in bb guns. Keep a look out, you might find one at a yard sale.
I had that older 760 in 1975. Years later it quit working , and I ordered a bladder and fixed it. It also dead accurate once you know the sights. It's a lethal gun, and will punch a hole in sheet metal.
I'am Your Newest Subscriber Great Videos I Found A 760 Pumpmaster At A Yard Sale Looks Brand New The Gramma Wanted 10.00 I Gave 5.00 She Wanted It Out Of The House
I bought one in the 60's like the one you have and you could pump it up to a hundred pumps talk about power. It was actually the best all around gun that held up to years of shooting.
I just had a guy try to tell me I didn't own a wood stock 760 because they never made them ,it was told to nicely though so I referred him to your video as I type in old 70' model crosman 760.
I am glad I could help quell an argument. There are so many different variants of the 760. You can even find some in between variants that have a wood pump handle but plastic stock. It is crazy when you look at all the air guns that have been made throughout the years. Thank you for your comment.
I agree, the new one is a bit easier to pump. If you want something with better quality, you have to be willing to spend a bit more. Thank you for the comment.
My 760 Pumpmaster was made in 2006. On this model you cannot manually load BBs or pellets one at a time. You have to load the BBs in the side of the receiver and the pellets require a plastic 5 round magazine. You load the magazine and insert it into the receiver. After each shot you must slide the magazine to the next loaded pellet. I had an older 760 that had a grove in the receiver so you could place a single BB or pellet in the grove then slide the bolt to load the barrel I'm not sure what happened to that rifle. I bought this one to take care of pesky squirrels that took over the backyard where I used to live. They went back to the grooved receiver because of complaints people would lose the 5 round magazines. Those magazines are easy to misplace or lose. A few years ago I misplaced my 760 somewhere in my house. So I ordered a BB/pellet CO2 air pistol to shoot an invasive species of lizard that have taken over my backyard. Now that I've found my 760 I'll use it to take care of the lizards and return the BB/pellet pistol back for a refund minus restocking fee.
I never owned one of those 760s but I do remember seeing them. I thought it looked like a bad idea. Thank you for sharing and good luck with the invasive species eradication.
A 25th anniversary edition. Nice. The old one in the video is my Grandfather's. He let me shoot it growing up and let me borrow it for this video. Keep a lookout on my channel....I have a video on a 761XL coming up. Thank you for the comment.
@@michaelpence468 how strong is it? I just got a 761xl at a pawnshop amd it worls like new, im trying to determine the strength after 10 pumps im think itll kill a squirell from 50yds easy maybe further
The 2100 is a bit bigger and more powerful. Both are .177 caliber. The 760 max velocity with bbs is listed as 625 fps while the 2100 is listed as 755 fps. Thank you for the question.
I was mainly trying to compare materials of construction. That and the old version was not holding air, and was not mine to repair. They are both smooth bore barrels, so I am not sure one would be more accurate than the other. Thank you for the comment.
I have the newer one you have there. Someone gave it to me all rusted up and missing the back sight. So I clean it up and it seems to have all it's pressure. I also have the even newer latest version. with one pump the older of my 2, and no exageration here, is 3 times as powerful as the other with one pump. I havent had the chance to get a good range session in yet.
Closed end first. The skirt, or back of the pellet, is the lightest end and helps to make an airtight seal, engage the rifling, and help stabilize the pellet in flight. Thank you for your question.
I am not familiar with the 66, but from what I have found online, it is like a cross between and 760 and a 2100, but keeps the top load. I have a 2100 and the side load is tough, with big fingers. Thanks for the question. I might have to get a 66 to do a side-by-side.
Quick question, on mine tnere is a plastic piece on the left side just above the trigger that you can push in, and then theres a little switch on the top of the gun which appears to be above the same compartment, do you know what this is for? I can send a picture if youre not sure what im referring to.
I think that compartment is where you put the bbs in. Then you turn the gun upside down, hold the switch back, and shake it, until the little slot magazine is full of bbs (I think about ten). When you cycle the bolt, one bb should be picked out of the magazine. If you want to shoot pellets you have to empty out the magazine, or on some models, just don't pull back the bolt far enough to pick up a bb. There are many models of the 760, but I think that is how yours works.
@@CHARLESCRANFORD Ok yeah I only pump mine about 10 an .177 pellets only thanks was justs asking have a great night Jody Hillsboro ohio 1044 at night thank u Charles cranford
I agree 100 percent. It is amazing that even some of the "budget" air guns are still nice and with low price ammo, you can enjoy shooting without spending a lot of money. Thank you for your comment.
That is a funny story. I bet you thought that he really liked you a lot to let you shoot his 760. Then, later in life, you realized his ulterior motive. Thank you for sharing your funny 760 story.
@@CHARLESCRANFORD I really liked that 760. It had solid plastic stock and forearm. In 1972 or '73 I bought my own 760 with the same solid plastic furniture. One of my friends liked my 760 more than I; it disappeared. Some years ago I bought my son a 760 with the hallow plastic furniture and the 5 pellet magazine. They are pretty well liked by all who have the shooting gene.
You forgot to tell us the biggest difference. Loading the BBs. The old one has a plug that rotates out on the left side of the receiver. The new one loads through a slide at the base of the pistol grip.
Yeah. I was trying to keep the video short. I was mainly wanting to show the difference in materials. I might make a video showing the difference in operation between the two. Thanks for pointing this out.
I was going to but the old Crosman leaks a bit of air. It would do okay for three or four pumps, but more than that and I could hear air hisses out. I think a couple of seals have gone bad. Thank you for the comment, and thank you for watching.
My grandfather let us shoot his Czechoslovakian 22 springer ... Think it was made in the early 40's ... It's only now I'm learning about these weaker guns ... Bought a used 760 today for $20 ... Don't know if that was a good deal or not lol
I am so glad I have my Red Ryder from my childhood. The new ones are nice, but they don't have all the memories associated with the nicks and dings the old one got along the way. Thank you for your comment.
That 760 with the metal receiver and wood components is sweet! If they could make the red ryder all metal and wood, they can make the 760 with similar components.
Those first gen 760s are cool. If they were made in the USA today, they would probably cost $200. You can find them for sale and if you are lucky, you could get one for less than $100. Thank you for the comment.
A Red Ryder gun can't compete with the performance of the Crosman. So either they had to cut corners in America or go to China. In America you are keeping Americans employed so I put my dime on Crosman.
There are people that work on bb guns. They are usually referred to as airsmiths. Sometimes you can get your bb gun repaired by the manufacturer, or you could possibly repair it yourself. What type of bb gun is it?
I paid no more than $24 brand new for mine in the early 70s, all steel barrel. I got mine from a local Dept store Sporting goods section. Back when you could buy a hand gun, shot gun to a 30-30 from a dept. store. My father bought a 12 Ga. shotgun from the same store. And nobody was going crazy with gun killings every day. I miss those days. Today America is a real sh!thole. Sad.
it has become a shit hole, you're right. Even as recently as 1992, I went into wal-mart and bought a brand new Ruger .22. revolver pistol and a few boxes of 22 ammo, and walked out the door, no questions asked.
O novo custa atualmente cerca de US $ 38 dólares nos EUA. O antigo era do meu avô, então para mim não tem preço. Os antigos 760 custam de US$ 200 a US$ 300 dólares no Ebay. Obrigado por sua pergunta.
I was going to suggest a Benjamin 397 amzn.to/2IOrohl but they don't make them with wood stocks anymore. Your best bet would be buy an old used one on Ebay or at a yard sale. You might have to replace the seals, but it is not too hard to do. I will be releasing a video on a crosman 761xl that I replaced the seals in soon, so be looking for it, on my channel. Thank you for the comment.
I had the old version I could pump up to 100 times which i seldom did but the power was enough to put a bb almost all the way through a 2x4. loved that gun, Had a few newer ones but the were crap compaired to the first version.
The kids in the neighborhood always said anything more than ten pumps would blow them up. I saw a graph somewhere of how more than ten pumps does not really add significant velocity, but can damage the seals. Those old guns are great. Thank you for the comment.
Отличное видео, класс поставил (561- палец верх) ! Я живу в России, и купил сыну на рождество кросман 760, за 110 $. Новое это забытое старое. Очень печально, что новое хуже старого, в плане качества.
Когда вы говорите 110 долларов, это американские доллары? Это много для нового 760. Готов поспорить, что ваш сын получит массу удовольствия, стреляя из этого 760. Спасибо за ваш комментарий.
@@СергейГ Ух ты. Американцы не понимают, насколько хорошо у нас это есть. Я могу купить новый 760 на Amazon или в местных магазинах за 40 долларов США! Я думал, что в других странах дела обстоят плохо, но я не осознавал, насколько плохо. Спасибо за ответ.
Yes older is better .. to certain extent. Among the crosman entry level rifle, I would choose early 2000's powermaster 66 over any 760 variant. But that all wood and metal 760 will outlast any plastic rifle for sure!
Lol.. No, you can't compare them, the Red Ryder is super weak shooting and inaccurate compared to a 760. I have both, and the Red Ryder is just plain boring. But my 760, even though it's a new one with all the plastic parts on it, still shoots incredibly well and it's very accurate. It's worth the 32 bucks.
Yea, you used to be able to get the Benjamin pump rifles with wood stocks, which I think are better than the 760s and 761XLs. I have contemplated getting one of the new ones, just to check out the quality of the plastic stocks. Thank you for the comment.
@@bidenisacommunistpuppet.3831 Crosman makes some great products, they just cost more. I don't agree with Daisy going with Chinese manufacturing, but a new Red Ryder is almost identical to the ones made in the 70s and still costs about $25. If you want an original 1st variant Crosman 760, they usually go for around $200 on ebay. I bet Crosman put a lot of time trying to design the best 760 they could at a certain price point. And if you consider the price, the new 760 is good value, but if you compare it to the old 760, it comes up short. Thank you for your comments.
The Crosman website has a timeline that gives years and descriptions of the different variants of a bunch of Crosman guns. discover.crosman.com/blog/crosman-product-dates-of-manufacture I hope this helps.
do you think airguns are legal in every country cuz im thinking of getting one from ebay but i dont wanna be questioned by the authoroties and post office for having that shipped to me
It depends on what country that you are in. I know some countries do not allow any airguns while some limit them to the energy that they produce. Check with your local law enforcement to find out for sure. Thank you for the comment, and good luck.
Nostalgia plays a big role in the value we place on these old guns. I was just videoing an old vs. new for the Daisy Red Ryder. Thank you for your comment.
@Matrox One The 760 was a great bb gun. It has really changed, from the original to today. I have an old Daisy model 99, and from what I understand, the ones you can get today are very nice guns, but they do cost a lot.
No the new one is also made in USA. They keep the costs down by using plastics in place of wood and metal in a lot of the new version. Thank you for your question.
OK still made in the USA. I give Crosman props for that. The quality is not like the original but at least they didn't sell out like lots of US co. did. By the way the old 760s were called PowerMaster 760, the new ones are called PumpMaster 760s.
My Grandfather's 760 is the old version in this video. I think it was a nice bb gun that attracted people that wanted something nice that would last a long time.
The weight difference lol the new ones feel like nerf guns my 1975 Powermaster actually feels like a real gun , stuff in the 60s 70s where built with pride 🇺🇲
I agree 100%. Crosman makes some nice air rifles, but to get the same quality as the Powermasters from the 60s and 70s you have to pay more money. Keeping the price low makes it so more people can afford to have an airgun to shoot. And it is still made in the USA. Thank you for your comment.
I have an older crosman 760 pumpmaster that still hits like a hammer. I picked up the new one in a store, laughed, and put it right back down. They ought to hang their heads in shame putting that cheap built thing out for sale. No way I'd ever buy the new version. Zero quality.
I agree. They made it cheap, to keep the cost down. At least it is still made in the USA. If you want a higher quality Crosman, the 362 is a multipump .22 caliber air rifle that is about $120. It reminds me more of the quality and feel of the old 760. Thanks for your comment.
@CHARLESCRANFORD I suppose the new rifle is really a youth gun anyway. I'd be afraid I would accidentally break it. Very plasticky. I did recently buy a vintage Crosman 66 powermaster from ebay. It's pretty good. Still shoots great. I usually buy the new break barrels, under levers, and pcp guns now, but I do still like the old vintage rifles.
@@kaylamarie8309 I am about the same. I finally got a pcp gun a couple of years ago. I still have more fun shooting a few cans with the old Red Ryder. I think nostalgia has a lot to do with it. Just makes me feel like a kid again.
@CHARLESCRANFORD oh heck yeah..I LOVE my red ryder(s)! That's my go-to mouse gun if I see one in the house lol. Those are awesome guns and still well made 👍!
I agree. I guess Crosman thought that they would make it look more "modern". If I had gotten the new model, as a gift, when I was a kid, I would have still been happy.
The new one the 760 is ok but plastic an stock break on em. But powerful gun I shot the new 1 they got an man they got power an I shot mine at a old cat. Door man put a he'll of dent in car door the new 760 are ok but plastic.
@@MrLandonsWorld The old one says "Powermaster" on the frame. The new one says "Pumpmaster Classic" on the frame. I thought I knew most of the history of the 760s, but I have no idea when it changed from powermaster to pumpmaster. Crosman, Daisy, and almost all airguns have a weird history. You can find "in between" variants that have characteristics of both the variant before and the variant after. I might have to give Crosman a call and ask. Thank you for your comments.
Part of me agrees. It is a lower quality bb gun, but Crosman did keep it at about the same cost and still made in America. They have other bb guns made from mostly steel and wood, but they cost much more. By making a low cost bb gun that will last, they are making it easier for more kids to enjoy having their own bb gun to have fun learning proper gun handling skills. And for that reason, I think Crosman is keeping the spirit of the 760 alive.
@Matrox One From what I understand, the crosman 760 is still made in the USA. I guess if they are wanting to use American labor and parts, and keep the cost down, they have to use less expensive parts.
I got the newest one too. The new pump stinks. Pinches my fingers unlike the old one from the 90s I have. New one doesn’t appear to be as accurate either. Feels cheap. Stock looks like it’s ready to break. I’d prefer to pay double and get the same quality as the older ones. Oh well thanks for the review.
@@gamingwithrickbekah9130 I have to agree. I think Crosman was trying to hit a price point, so they gave up quality. I think the Benjamin 397 is closer to the old 760 but it is close to $200. Thank you for the comment.
@@CHARLESCRANFORD I’m going to check that out. I recently got the gamo whisper .177 pellet break barrel and I’m enjoying it far more than I ever liked the 760 or daisy pump I had. I can hit a quarter at about 25 yards. It’s crazy accurate. I bought 6000 wad cutter pellets for around a penny a shot.
just picked up the 760 pumpmaster and am very disappointed, there is no way to use the 5 round pellet clip(even though its advertised as doing so) and it feels EXTREMELY CHEAP!!!! thinking of returning it seeing as its not what i was looking for to get my children into shooting..... side note: you can easily replace the seals in the powermaster 760 and get far better performance the the new pumpmaster 760
I have never had a 760 that can use the 5 round pellet clip. The old 760s are better than the new ones. I have replaced the seals in a 761. The old 760, in this video, was my grandfathers. I might one day replace the seals, but right now it is more nostalgic than anything. Thank you for your comment and have fun getting your children into shooting.

I have that exact one from 1968, I would have been in 8th grade. I also graduated from the Daisy lever action to the Crossman. I once shot 80 Cicadas out of an elm tree one summer day with it. The secret was to have the tree act as a backstop. I took a rabbit out with 6 pumps a few years back with it. I also put a 20 dollar scope on it and had a blast sighting it in. Remarkably fun and reliable instrument.
Those old 760s are hard to beat. Thank you for your 760 story.

It's Deja Vu all over again. I got mine Christmas 1967, in the 8th grade. Crosman had two ads that year as I recall. One that was ubiquitous "Giant Killer" ad and the other was a holiday ad that told kids to cut the ad out, circle the picture of the gun, and leave it laying around the house to for mom and dad to see. Corny, but it worked for me. The gun wore out after a year (thousands of BBs, several "O" rings, and one rear sight that broke off). I moved up to the Crosman 140 the next Christmas. Wore two of those out.
So *that's* why the bolt was so smooth and easy to operate on that gun! I was just reminiscing about the gun I grew up with, thought I'd try a youtube search, and sure enough, you have the exact same one with a similar personal connection to it! Wore that sucker out over the years never understanding everyone else's gun took so much more effort to operate. Thanks for the vid and the memories!
You have to love reminiscing about bb guns that you grew up with. I am lucky to still have my first bb gun, A Red Ryder I got for Christmas, when I was nine. I have had a few get lost in moves or just misplaced but having something for that long, with so many memories really means something. Thanks for sharing your bb gun memory.

@@CHARLESCRANFORD I received my first 760 for Xmas in 1972, and Santa got it from Sears... Thanks!
@@markh.2899 I think Santa got a lot of his bb guns from Sears....and real guns, back in the day. Thank you for your comment.
I just found a 761xl at a pawnstpre how strong are these things? Will it kill squirrels from 50yds or more?
I added a rubber butt pad with a piece of metal inside it. That made the stock heavier and feel more like a rifle than a plastic toy gun. When I pick it up it feels like it is ready for business.
Thanks for the good review. I still have my wood stock 760 from early seventies. Hours of shooting when I was a a young guy...
Thank you for the comment. Those old 760s are great guns.
I bought one of these at an estate sale that appears pretty old, i paid $80 (i know i overpaid), but ive never had so much fun with this thing in my life!!! It's incredibly accurate and super strong if you pump it 3 times, i love it so much. Mine is all solid wood and pretty heavy.
Thank you for your comment. You did NOT overpay. I have seen some only okay shape early 760s get over $100 on ebay. It is hard to beat a vintage 760.
Well Done !!! These old or vintage air rifles are where it's at. The parts are available. Rifles are easy to work on too. Ride on
Thank you for the comment. I just resealed a Crosman 761XL. For just a little bit of money and time, it is as good as new.
I have a 760 that I bought as a boy in about 1968. Still works great. I did have the seal replaced in about 1970 but not since. The service dealer at the time recommended that I store it with 2 pumps of air in it to preserve the seals which I have faithfully done ever since. I was told I could pump it up to 25 times but now I believe they say a maximum of 10 pumps. I wonder why.
I keep mine stored with one pump. I have heard that pumping them more than ten times could damage the seals. I remember seeing a video where the guy pumped bb guns more than ten times and showed that, after ten pumps, you didn't gain that much more velocity. Thank you for your comment.
I still have my 760 variant 1 built 6/70. And some 16 more in my collection of them. And many others. Solid little rifles.
They are addictive. And so many variants. Thank you for your comment.
can you please send me all of them? thanks in advance bud
@@lucasmacmillan7699 You're kidding, right?!
I'm 30 and have my original pump master 760 from 1995 my parents bought for me, it's all metal and wood no plastic at all the black paint/bluing on the metal parts have been wore down to bare aluminum/metal showing just regular wear fr use never been rebuilt and shoots 690 fps and my new one I bought a month ago is all plastic comes with no pellet clip like they use to or fiber optic front sight like the mid 2000s ones had. And my older one from 90s more pumps the harder the trigger pull is and actually if you pump it up to 15 pumps it will get 870 fps with bb and 890 with pellet. I love my old one from 90s but don't shoot itucj to keep it in prestine shape for years to come. I have never had to mess with the sights that comes on both guns windage or elevation at all I put the rear sight at lowest position and I can hit a almost sub zero with it at 25 meters with pellets. The power master is the ultimate small rodent and bird killing machine for kids since they was first made, kids these days have no interest in a bb gun or pellet riffle at all they wanna play video games. And I was born in 1992 so I was a kid I couldn't stay inside play video games inside had nothing to do besides TV or help Mom clean or cook so we always stay outside playing the creeks in the woods and with her pellet guns and BB guns and just being boys. And if your squirrel hunting with it with pellets it's a pain in the but to take all the noises bbs out of it so we left them in and my parents new where me and All my friends was in the woods behind house cause of the noise of the bbs rolling in our guns lol. It was like ten of us who would run around with our pump masters. The new ones barley last one year with normal use using few times a week by a kid running with it will last about a month or two before the seals go out in the pump cup
Hello Charles...thank you for the video. I am 71 years old and just bought the old gun you describe at an estate sale. Since the last BB type of gun I shot as a we lad was a "BB Gun" I am wondering what type of pellet this gun should use. I notice online [Amazon] they show a pointed version of a pellet, but, I'm wondering if it has to be round for this type of gun.
You could use the pointed type. There are all sorts of pellets on the market. Some may be too long to load in the 760. You can sometimes get sampler boxes of pellets to let you try different styles from one manufacturer. You will probably to find one pellet that works best for your 760. Thank you for the comment and have fun shooting your 760.

@@CHARLESCRANFORD if you want to kill something with it, get the pointed lead ones.
I had one I got 1969 as a 6year gift, it lasted until 92 when a housefire finaly killed it :( Was my first airrifle and I will never forget it :)
The nostalgia of youth is a big part of air rifles and bb guns. Thank you for sharing your 760 story....although a sad ending, I am sure you have some fond memories of shooting the classic 760.
This is why god is cruel
We shall banish thee to the Land of EBay, where you can find another one…
@@CHARLESCRANFORD Yep...I remember walking through a wooded/field across the street from our house with our dog just shooting at stuff when I was in my early teens. We shot our BB guns on the front lawn back yard etc. Back then cops could have cared less. No crazy stuff was happening back then like today.
Even my Crosman 2289 now, is much different than my grandfather's was from the 1970's. I remember shooting it as a teenager in the '80s. My new one has a plastic breach, plastic collar to hold the barrel to the body (garbage) which makes any small scope you put on it, go off centre with a bump, because it's a barrel mounted scope and the barrel rolls a bit. On the plus side, it came with a stock to turn it into a carbine. Something my grandfather's did not, although it was available and they knew how to charge for it too. I remember it wasn't cheap, hence why he never bought it, nor did I. Now they just include it, hehehe. They do make steel breaches aftermarket and steel barrel collars which make that much better (and holds the stupid barrel still, lol). But you're talking an extra $70 in upgrades, for a $70 gun. Like you said, to make that same gun today, would cost $150 and it would even with new Crosman's in other models. Upgrade even some of the plastic in that with metal parts and you'll get up there close to what that old school one was quality wise pretty quick. 100% right, good vid.
Thank you for the comment. I had a 1377 without the bolt, one of my old bb guns that I don't know where it went. (lost while growing up and moving away from home) I have one each of the new 1377 and 1322 and you are right you can spend a lot of money upgrading parts. It is true with almost any hobby, the sky is the limit. I guess companies have to make the "cheaper" guns to get people into the hobby, so they later buy the better quality guns that come with higher price tags. Thank you again for the complement and the comment "chat".
Just bought first variant on EBay just like the one my mom bought me back in 1965. Sending it to Mac I for seals and overhaul. Can't wait to shoot it
Thank you for sharing your 760 story. Have fun shooting that first variant.
whos that? they rebuild/refinish these?
I had the late eighties early 90s Crossman that looks like the newer 760 but more square.. People use to say 12 pumps was like a .22 which is around 1000fps non-LR. I seen the same rifle go through a human hand clean. I had pretty much every Daisy, Crossman, and Marksman in the 90s, but never had the expensive Benjamins or whatever the wooden ones were. I even had the M16 Daisy and the full-auto Crossmans.
Thank you for sharing your bb gun memories. I grew up shooting my Red Ryder and my Grandfather's 760. I also shot my friend's 880. I did save up and get a Benjamin 392 (the wood stock version). That is a nice air rifle. I have lots of bb guns now, but those old models come with a nostalgia that you just can't get now. Thanks again for sharing.
Yes, I had the 1st variant as a teen. Cryin' shame I did not hold onto it. I also had a Red Ryder target edition from the 60s with the hooded front sight. I'm going tell anyone who has these guns that they should be retained for your children and their children. ALL of the seals are still readily available for the old as well. Just because that old pumper isn't THWACKING like it should is no reason to abandon it.
Thank you for sharing. I think a bunch of these bb guns on ebay are from families that didn't have children to pass them on to. Or maybe their kids were not interested in bb guns. Keep a look out, you might find one at a yard sale.
I always wanted a Benjamin 342 when I was a kid but that was a lot of money back then so i got a 760 pumpmaster It was a good little gun

@@CHARLESCRANFORD you welcome
The new one I think is easier to pump with the longer pumping lever but yea it's not of the same quality as the old one
I agree, the new one is a bit easier to pump. If you want something with better quality, you have to be willing to spend a bit more. Thank you for the comment.
My 760 Pumpmaster was made in 2006. On this model you cannot manually load BBs or pellets one at a time. You have to load the BBs in the side of the receiver and the pellets require a plastic 5 round magazine. You load the magazine and insert it into the receiver. After each shot you must slide the magazine to the next loaded pellet.
I had an older 760 that had a grove in the receiver so you could place a single BB or pellet in the grove then slide the bolt to load the barrel I'm not sure what happened to that rifle. I bought this one to take care of pesky squirrels that took over the backyard where I used to live.
They went back to the grooved receiver because of complaints people would lose the 5 round magazines. Those magazines are easy to misplace or lose.
A few years ago I misplaced my 760 somewhere in my house. So I ordered a BB/pellet CO2 air pistol to shoot an invasive species of lizard that have taken over my backyard. Now that I've found my 760 I'll use it to take care of the lizards and return the BB/pellet pistol back for a refund minus restocking fee.
I never owned one of those 760s but I do remember seeing them. I thought it looked like a bad idea. Thank you for sharing and good luck with the invasive species eradication.
i have a 760 that was built in 1991. It is identical to yours with the wood finish.
A 25th anniversary edition. Nice. The old one in the video is my Grandfather's. He let me shoot it growing up and let me borrow it for this video. Keep a lookout on my channel....I have a video on a 761XL coming up. Thank you for the comment.

What is the difference between crosman 2100 and crosman 760 pumpmaster
The 2100 is a bit bigger and more powerful. Both are .177 caliber. The 760 max velocity with bbs is listed as 625 fps while the 2100 is listed as 755 fps. Thank you for the question.
@@CHARLESCRANFORD thank you for replying :)
wouldve been cool if you showed performance to like accuracy and fps
I was mainly trying to compare materials of construction. That and the old version was not holding air, and was not mine to repair. They are both smooth bore barrels, so I am not sure one would be more accurate than the other. Thank you for the comment.
I have the newer one you have there. Someone gave it to me all rusted up and missing the back sight. So I clean it up and it seems to have all it's pressure. I also have the even newer latest version. with one pump the older of my 2, and no exageration here, is 3 times as powerful as the other with one pump. I havent had the chance to get a good range session in yet.
Sounds like you need to find a good spot to get some shooting time. Be safe and have fun.
Which way do I load the pellets? Open end or closed end?
Closed end first. The skirt, or back of the pellet, is the lightest end and helps to make an airtight seal, engage the rifling, and help stabilize the pellet in flight. Thank you for your question.
Both ends of the pellet actually go into the gun, & both ends exit as well.
What the difference between 760 air gun and 66 air gun
I am not familiar with the 66, but from what I have found online, it is like a cross between and 760 and a 2100, but keeps the top load. I have a 2100 and the side load is tough, with big fingers. Thanks for the question. I might have to get a 66 to do a side-by-side.
Quick question, on mine tnere is a plastic piece on the left side just above the trigger that you can push in, and then theres a little switch on the top of the gun which appears to be above the same compartment, do you know what this is for? I can send a picture if youre not sure what im referring to.
I think that compartment is where you put the bbs in. Then you turn the gun upside down, hold the switch back, and shake it, until the little slot magazine is full of bbs (I think about ten). When you cycle the bolt, one bb should be picked out of the magazine. If you want to shoot pellets you have to empty out the magazine, or on some models, just don't pull back the bolt far enough to pick up a bb. There are many models of the 760, but I think that is how yours works.
@@CHARLESCRANFORD holy crap, I had no idea, ive been loading bb's one by one, hahaha. Wow this is awesome! Thanks!
Ok on the plastic 760 the brown one u got. Is it suposts to be tight win u pump it I justs got 1 25
It is a little tight. The maximum amount of pumps is supposed to be ten, any more than that could damage the gun.

Air guns are amazing on a level most humans can't comprehend to understand! That's a fact, look it up!

My sister's boyfriend let me shoot his 760 when he wanted to get rid of me. That was the late 60's, early seventies. That tactic worked every time!
That is a funny story. I bet you thought that he really liked you a lot to let you shoot his 760. Then, later in life, you realized his ulterior motive. Thank you for sharing your funny 760 story.
@@CHARLESCRANFORD I really liked that 760. It had solid plastic stock and forearm. In 1972 or '73 I bought my own 760 with the same solid plastic furniture. One of my friends liked my 760 more than I; it disappeared. Some years ago I bought my son a 760 with the hallow plastic furniture and the 5 pellet magazine. They are pretty well liked by all who have the shooting gene.
I have an original and I’m so proud. My daddy gave it to me, I cherish it.
I think that the memories attached to old airguns are what make them so special. Thank you for sharing.
You forgot to tell us the biggest difference. Loading the BBs. The old one has a plug that rotates out on the left side of the receiver. The new one loads through a slide at the base of the pistol grip.
Yeah. I was trying to keep the video short. I was mainly wanting to show the difference in materials. I might make a video showing the difference in operation between the two. Thanks for pointing this out.
Good video 👍 love the old power master 760s
Thank you for the comment.
You should do a FPS & FPE test
I was going to but the old Crosman leaks a bit of air. It would do okay for three or four pumps, but more than that and I could hear air hisses out. I think a couple of seals have gone bad. Thank you for the comment, and thank you for watching.
YOU should do it
My grandfather let us shoot his Czechoslovakian 22 springer ... Think it was made in the early 40's ... It's only now I'm learning about these weaker guns ... Bought a used 760 today for $20 ... Don't know if that was a good deal or not lol

That 760 with the metal receiver and wood components is sweet! If they could make the red ryder all metal and wood, they can make the 760 with similar components.
Those first gen 760s are cool. If they were made in the USA today, they would probably cost $200. You can find them for sale and if you are lucky, you could get one for less than $100. Thank you for the comment.
A Red Ryder gun can't compete with the performance of the Crosman. So either they had to cut corners in America or go to China. In America you are keeping Americans employed so I put my dime on Crosman.
I had my 760 pumpmaster 8 years
where can i get a bb gun repaired?
There are people that work on bb guns. They are usually referred to as airsmiths. Sometimes you can get your bb gun repaired by the manufacturer, or you could possibly repair it yourself. What type of bb gun is it?
I paid no more than $24 brand new for mine in the early 70s, all steel barrel. I got mine from a local Dept store Sporting goods section. Back when you could buy a hand gun, shot gun to a 30-30 from a dept. store. My father bought a 12 Ga. shotgun from the same store. And nobody was going crazy with gun killings every day. I miss those days. Today America is a real sh!thole. Sad.
it has become a shit hole, you're right. Even as recently as 1992, I went into wal-mart and bought a brand new Ruger .22. revolver pistol and a few boxes of 22 ammo, and walked out the door, no questions asked.
Qual o valor?
O novo custa atualmente cerca de US $ 38 dólares nos EUA. O antigo era do meu avô, então para mim não tem preço. Os antigos 760 custam de US$ 200 a US$ 300 dólares no Ebay. Obrigado por sua pergunta.
51years now
I wish they still made them with wood pump & stock
I was going to suggest a Benjamin 397 amzn.to/2IOrohl but they don't make them with wood stocks anymore. Your best bet would be buy an old used one on Ebay or at a yard sale. You might have to replace the seals, but it is not too hard to do. I will be releasing a video on a crosman 761xl that I replaced the seals in soon, so be looking for it, on my channel. Thank you for the comment.
I had the old version I could pump up to 100 times which i seldom did but the power was enough to put a bb almost all the way through a 2x4. loved that gun, Had a few newer ones but the were crap compaired to the first version.
The kids in the neighborhood always said anything more than ten pumps would blow them up. I saw a graph somewhere of how more than ten pumps does not really add significant velocity, but can damage the seals. Those old guns are great. Thank you for the comment.
When I had mine I pumped it 10 or 15 times and put a BB through a 1" pine board and point blank range. Thats enough to kill a man.

I bet Crosman put a lot of time trying to design the best 760 they could at a certain price point. And if you consider the price, the new 760 is good value, but if you compare it to the old 760, it comes up short. Thank you for your comments.

@Matrox One The 760 was a great bb gun. It has really changed, from the original to today. I have an old Daisy model 99, and from what I understand, the ones you can get today are very nice guns, but they do cost a lot.
@Matrox One You are right. The 760 was way more powerful. The 99 was made to be accurate, at short distances, not powerful.
The old one is made in USA. I had one I got in the early 70s. Great little gun. Where is the new one made?....China?😖
No the new one is also made in USA. They keep the costs down by using plastics in place of wood and metal in a lot of the new version. Thank you for your question.
OK still made in the USA. I give Crosman props for that. The quality is not like the original but at least they didn't sell out like lots of US co. did. By the way the old 760s were called PowerMaster 760, the new ones are called PumpMaster 760s.

I agree 100%. Crosman makes some nice air rifles, but to get the same quality as the Powermasters from the 60s and 70s you have to pay more money. Keeping the price low makes it so more people can afford to have an airgun to shoot. And it is still made in the USA. Thank you for your comment.

zgadzam się z tobą. Stare drewniane kolby są lepsze, ale gdyby dzisiaj robili je takie same, kosztowałyby dziesięć razy więcej. Dziękuję za komentarz.
I have an older crosman 760 pumpmaster that still hits like a hammer. I picked up the new one in a store, laughed, and put it right back down. They ought to hang their heads in shame putting that cheap built thing out for sale. No way I'd ever buy the new version. Zero quality.
I agree. They made it cheap, to keep the cost down. At least it is still made in the USA. If you want a higher quality Crosman, the 362 is a multipump .22 caliber air rifle that is about $120. It reminds me more of the quality and feel of the old 760. Thanks for your comment.
@CHARLESCRANFORD I suppose the new rifle is really a youth gun anyway. I'd be afraid I would accidentally break it. Very plasticky. I did recently buy a vintage Crosman 66 powermaster from ebay. It's pretty good. Still shoots great. I usually buy the new break barrels, under levers, and pcp guns now, but I do still like the old vintage rifles.
@@kaylamarie8309 I am about the same. I finally got a pcp gun a couple of years ago. I still have more fun shooting a few cans with the old Red Ryder. I think nostalgia has a lot to do with it. Just makes me feel like a kid again.
@CHARLESCRANFORD oh heck yeah..I LOVE my red ryder(s)! That's my go-to mouse gun if I see one in the house lol. Those are awesome guns and still well made 👍!
Thx, old have very better look, the news too platic. 🥺
I agree. I guess Crosman thought that they would make it look more "modern". If I had gotten the new model, as a gift, when I was a kid, I would have still been happy.

Thank you for the comment.
Pump master not power master
The new one the 760 is ok but plastic an stock break on em. But powerful gun I shot the new 1 they got an man they got power an I shot mine at a old cat. Door man put a he'll of dent in car door the new 760 are ok but plastic.
I agree. I prefer the wood stocks to the plastic ones.
@@CHARLESCRANFORD Yeap.
Pumpmaster not powermaster
Or did they change the name?
@@MrLandonsWorld The old one says "Powermaster" on the frame. The new one says "Pumpmaster Classic" on the frame. I thought I knew most of the history of the 760s, but I have no idea when it changed from powermaster to pumpmaster. Crosman, Daisy, and almost all airguns have a weird history. You can find "in between" variants that have characteristics of both the variant before and the variant after. I might have to give Crosman a call and ask. Thank you for your comments.
The original gun is called "power master classic" the new gun should be called "pump master plastic" 😂😂😂
Part of me agrees. It is a lower quality bb gun, but Crosman did keep it at about the same cost and still made in America. They have other bb guns made from mostly steel and wood, but they cost much more. By making a low cost bb gun that will last, they are making it easier for more kids to enjoy having their own bb gun to have fun learning proper gun handling skills. And for that reason, I think Crosman is keeping the spirit of the 760 alive.
The old 760 is better...!
New one is pump master
No help
I don't understand your comment. Please elaborate.
The new 760 is a piece of junk.
It is not as good as the old 760, that is for sure, but you get what you pay for. Thank you for the comment.
@Matrox One From what I understand, the crosman 760 is still made in the USA. I guess if they are wanting to use American labor and parts, and keep the cost down, they have to use less expensive parts.
I got the newest one too. The new pump stinks. Pinches my fingers unlike the old one from the 90s I have. New one doesn’t appear to be as accurate either. Feels cheap. Stock looks like it’s ready to break. I’d prefer to pay double and get the same quality as the older ones. Oh well thanks for the review.
@@gamingwithrickbekah9130 I have to agree. I think Crosman was trying to hit a price point, so they gave up quality. I think the Benjamin 397 is closer to the old 760 but it is close to $200. Thank you for the comment.
@@CHARLESCRANFORD I’m going to check that out. I recently got the gamo whisper .177 pellet break barrel and I’m enjoying it far more than I ever liked the 760 or daisy pump I had. I can hit a quarter at about 25 yards. It’s crazy accurate. I bought 6000 wad cutter pellets for around a penny a shot.
just picked up the 760 pumpmaster and am very disappointed, there is no way to use the 5 round pellet clip(even though its advertised as doing so) and it feels EXTREMELY CHEAP!!!!
thinking of returning it seeing as its not what i was looking for to get my children into shooting.....
side note: you can easily replace the seals in the powermaster 760 and get far better performance the the new pumpmaster 760
I have never had a 760 that can use the 5 round pellet clip.
The old 760s are better than the new ones.
I have replaced the seals in a 761. The old 760, in this video, was my grandfathers. I might one day replace the seals, but right now it is more nostalgic than anything.
Thank you for your comment and have fun getting your children into shooting.
