1. Learning the Parts of Your New Airgun.
Learning the names of the parts of your new airgun will help you to understand your owner’s manual. Use this
manual to increase your enjoyment of this airgun.
Break in Period
Due to the nature of a spring air rifle, there is a 200 shot break-in period. During this period accuracy
may be inconsistent and your gun may seem loud. This will improve as the spring breaks in.
2. Operating the Safety
2.1 To Put the Airgun “ON SAFE”:
• Locate the safety directly in front of the trigger.
• Pull safety back toward trigger.
• Even when the safety is on, you should continue to handle the rifle safely. Don’t point the gun at anything
you don’t intend to shoot.
Like all mechanical devices, an airgun
safety can fail. Even when the safety
is “ON SAFE”, you should continue to
handle the airgun safely. NEVER point
the airgun at any person. NEVER
point the air gun at anything you do
not intend to shoot.
WARNING: Keep the airgun “ON SAFE” until you are actually ready to shoot. Then push the
safety to the “OFF SAFE” position.
2..2 To Take the Airgun “OFF SAFE”:
• To take the air rifle “OFF SAFE,” push the safety to the forward position (away from the trigger). When the air
rifle is “OFF SAFE” it is ready to be fired. (Fig. 2)
• CAUTION: Do not fire your air rifle without a pellet in the chamber (dry fire). This may permanently damage
your air rifle.
3. Adjusting the Trigger
• This airgun is supplied with a trigger with an adjusting screw for
adjustment of the second stage length
NOTE: The trigger adjustment does not affect the trigger pull force, it only
changes the length of the pull.
NOTE: This feature is added for advanced shooters. Most shooters can
use the settings provided during manufacturing of the gun, and should
not need to make any modifications.
• Be sure the air rifle is “ON SAFE”, unloaded and not cocked.
• To reduce the second stage length, rotate the screw clockwise.
• To increase the second stage length, rotate the screw counterclockwise.
4. Cocking and Loading Your Air Rifle
4.1 Cocking Your Air Rifle
WARNING: Make sure you do not touch the trigger or push the safety to the “OFF SAFE” position.
Do not cock your rifle until you are ready to load and fire, since the only way to uncock your air rifle is to fire it.
Firing your gun without a pellet in the chamber (dry firing) may cause damage to your air rifle.
• Put the air rifle “ON SAFE”. (See Section 2.1).
• Point the airgun in a safe direction.
• Grasp the air rifle by the rifle grip with one hand and place your other hand around the barrel.
• Pull the barrel downward to the stop (Fig. 4A). Do not pull past this point and do not use excessive force or
speed when cocking your air rifle.
• Some find it easier to cock the air rifle when bracing the butt of the rifle against your leg (Fig. 4B).
• Be careful not to pinch your hand or fingers in the hinge area of the air rifle.
• Be sure that the barrel is locked in the closed position after loading/cocking to ensure accuracy.
WARNING: Make sure you do not pull the trigger while cocking the air rifle or with the barrel
in the down position. This may cause serious damage to the air rifle.
4.2 Loading Your Air Rifle
• With the barrel in the open position, after it has been cocked, place one pellet, nose forward, into the breech
(Fig. 5). Make sure that the skirt of the pellet is flush with face of breech.
• Move the barrel back to its original position by pushing the barrel up until it locks (Fig. 6). Once again, be
careful not to pinch your hands or fingers. Be sure the rifle is “ON SAFE” and pointed in a safe direction.
CAUTION: Do not fire your air rifle without a pellet in the chamber (dry fire). This may permanently damage your air rifle.
WARNING: Your air rifle is now loaded and ready to fire. Keep the air rifle “ON SAFE” until you
are ready to shoot. Do not point at anything you don’t intend to shoot.
4.3 Unloading Your Air Rifle
Do not cock and load your air rifle until you are ready to shoot since the only way to decock your air rifle is to fire it
in a safe direction. REMEMBER, choose your targets carefully and be sure that the area around the target is clear.
THINK what you will hit if you miss the target! Do not store your air rifle cocked or loaded.
CAUTION: Use .177 caliber pellets only. Never reuse ammunition. Use of any other ammunition can cause injury
to you or damage to the air rifle.
5. Aiming and Firing Safely
5.1 Aiming and Firing the Air Rifle
• You and others with you should always wear shooting glasses to protect your eyes.
• Always aim your air rifle in a SAFE DIRECTION. When you are sure of your target and backstop, and the area
around the target is clear, take the air rifle “OFF SAFE” (See SECTION 2.2) and squeeze the trigger to fire.
• Do not shoot at hard surfaces or at the surface of water. The pellet may bounce off or ricochet and hit
someone or something you had not intended to hit.
• Always choose your target carefully. It is best to shoot at paper bull’s-eye targets which are attached to a
safe backstop. A heavy blanket should be hung behind the backstop to prevent ricochet should you miss
the backstop.
• Your backstop should be checked for wear before and after each use. Replace your backstop if the surface
is worn or damaged or if a ricochet occurs.
• Your air rifle is designed for target shooting. Always remember to place your target carefully. THINK about
what you will hit if you miss the target.
• The air rifle is correctly aimed when the front sight is positioned exactly in the notch of the rear sight. The top
of the front sight post should be even with the top of the notch in the rear sight. The bull’s-eye should appear
to rest on the top of the front sight (Fig. 7).
• When you are sure of your target and backstop, and the area around the target is clear, take the airgun “OFF
SAFE” (See section 2.2) and pull the trigger to fire.
5.2 Sight Adjustment
NOTE: Pellet weight may affect accuracy
• Elevation is set by means of the rear sight-elevating dial situated on the rear sight base. Turn the dial
counterclockwise to make the pellet hit higher on the target and turn the dial clockwise to make the pellet hit
lower on the target. (Fig. 8)
• Windage is set by turning the windage dial located on the right side of the sight. Turn the dial counterclock-
wise to make the pellet hit to the left on the target and turn the dial clockwise to make the pellet hit to the
right on the target. (Fig. 8)
6. Removing a Jammed Pellet
• Put your airgun “ON SAFE” (Section 2).
• Do not reload the air rifle if a pellet is jammed.
• Break the barrel open slightly (without pulling the
barrel all the way down to the point that it cocks the
action) and look down the breech to see if the gun
is jammed.
• If it is jammed, insert a cleaning rod into the breech
and push the jammed pellet out of the muzzle. Don’t
try to reuse that pellet (Fig. 9)
CAUTION: Do not cock the air rifle during the removal of a
jammed pellet unless you plan on continuing to shoot.
• Remember; do not fire your air rifle without a pellet in the chamber (dry fire). This may permanently damage
your air rifle.
• Do not leave the rifle cocked. This will weaken the main spring and cause damage to your airgun.
• If you are not able to unjam your airgun by following the unloading procedure, take no further action. An
Authorized Service Station will unjam your airgun (no cost during the warranty period).
7. Maintaining Your Airgun
• To ensure that your air rifle maintains uniform power, it is important
that you apply a drop of Crosman RMCOIL every few hundred shots
into the compression chamber. (Fig.10). The external parts should be
cleaned with a cloth that has RMCOIL on it.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to disassemble your airgun. Take it to your
nearest authorized service station.
•To help ensure accuracy
• Periodically tighten all stock fasteners
• Check and tighten scope mounts if applicable
• DO NOT MODIFY OR ALTER YOUR AIRGUN. Attempts to modify
the airgun in any way inconsistent with this manual may make your
airgun unsafe to use, cause serious injury or death, and will void
the warranty.
• If you drop your airgun, visually check to see that it works properly before you use it again. If anything seems
changed, like a shorter or weaker trigger pull, this may mean worn out or broken parts. Call Crosman
customer service for assistance before using your airgun again.
CAUTION: Use Crosman RMCOIL only and do not over-oil. To do so can cause possible damage to the gun and
injury to the shooter and bystanders.
8. Reviewing Safety
• Never point the airgun at any person or at anything you do not intend to shoot.
• Always treat the airgun as though it is loaded and with the same respect you would a firearm.
• Always aim in a SAFE DIRECTION. Always keep the muzzle of the airgun pointed in a SAFE DIRECTION.
• Always keep the airgun on safe until you are ready to shoot.
• Always check to see if the airgun is “On Safe” and unloaded when getting it from another person or
from storage.
• Always keep your finger off the trigger and out of the trigger guard until ready to shoot.
• You and others with you should always wear shooting glasses to protect your eyes.
• If your reading or prescription glasses are not safety glasses, make sure you wear shooting glasses over your
regular glasses.
• Use the proper size pellet for your airgun ( .177 caliber or 4.5 mm).
• Never reuse ammunition.
• Do not shoot at hard surfaces or at the surface of water. The pellet may bounce off or ricochet and hit
someone or something you had not intended to hit.
• Place the backstop in a location that will be safe should the backstop fail.
• Your backstop should be checked for wear before and after each use. All backstops are subject to wear and
will eventually fail. Replace your backstop if the surface is worn or damaged or if a ricochet occurs.
• Do not attempt to disassemble or tamper with your airgun. Use an Authorized Service Station. Using
unauthorized repair centers or modifying the function of your airgun in any way may be unsafe and will void
your warranty.
• Always keep your CrosBlock® trigger block in place when storing this airgun. Store airgun in a secure loca-
tion. (See CrosBlock instructions packaged with this airgun for assistance)
• Before you store your airgun, make sure that it is unloaded, not charged, and that the airgun is “On Safe.”
