Comments:
This is a continuation of the Hahn/Crosman Model 45. It holds 6 BBs in
the rotating cylinder and 12 more in the spring-loaded feed
tube. The staghorn-like grips of the Model 45 gave way to wood
grips on the Model 36 and the half-cock hammer position
available on the 45 was eliminated on the 36. The Model 36
marked the end of the line for the Colt 1873 SAA-style BB gun
that Crosman started with the Hahn 45 back in 1958. Performance: Measurements were made on 11/05/06 at a temperature of 65 ºF and 14' elevation. A ten shot string was fired from a bench rest at 15' using Crosman Copperhead BBs (5.1 gr). The highest velocity measured was 323 fps, the lowest was 310 fps (average of the 10-shot string was 319 fps). A six shot string fired with open sights grouped at 1.56".

Loading BBs: Pull the spring follower back all the way and load BBs until the tube is full. Rotate the cylinder to allow a BB to fall into each of the six chambers. Add six more BBs to the BB tube. |
 |
Loading CO2: Insert the CO2 cylinder into the valve seat and tighten (finger tight only -- no tools) the cylinder nut. Cock the gun and fire it two or three times to pierce the cylinder. Cocking the gun pierces the cylinder, not over tightening the cylinder nut. |
 |
Packaging: The box is in very good condition and includes the manual and the small pack of BBs originally packed with the gun. |
