Comments:
This example of the Crosman Single-Action 6 is in excellent condition except for a few storage
marks. It was resealed and a new valve installed on 6/25/06.
This gun was probably made in the U.S. but marketed in Canada and came with both
U.S.
and Canadian (French) documentation. It is a good shooter with an excellent
trigger and surprisingly
good accuracy. The Crosman
SA6 is from the Golden Decade of Crosman CO2
pistol production and was the first Crosman Western six-shooter
to fire pellets. Concurrently produced with the SA6 were the
Model 600, Mark I & II, 38C, 38T, and the Model 451. More than
40 years later, all of these guns are still popular with
shooters and collectors alike.

Right Side Markings: The "Pat. Pending" marking indicates that this is an early version of the SA6. |
 |
Left Side Markings: The only markings on the left side of the frame read "Crosman" and ".22 cal". Later versions of this model were marked "Single Action 6". |
 |
Loading Pellets: Pellets are loaded in the rotating cylinder and held in place by a spring inside the cylinder. |
 |
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. |
