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.
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. Push the safety towards the trigger to put the safety on. The
safety is on and the airgun is “ON SAFE” when the lever is in the rear position near the trigger (Fig. 2).
• The letters “F” (fire) and “S” (safe) on the bottom of the trigger guard also indicate the appropriate position
of the safety.
• 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 shoot-
ers 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.
How to cock a break barrel:
• Holding the gun close to your body firmly tap the muzzle break. (Fig. 4A)
• Anchor gun against thigh and pull barrel down as far as it will go to engage the spring. (Fig.4B)
• Be sure that the barrel is locked in the closed position after loading/cocking to ensure accuracy.
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 posi-
tion 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.
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.
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 uncock your air rifle is to fire it
in a safe direction (see Section 5).
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
• 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 some
one 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.
NOTE: Pellet weight may affect accuracy.
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. 7)
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.8). 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.
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.
To help ensure accuracy
• Periodically tighten all stock fasteners
• Check and tighten scope mounts if applicableT
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 unau-
thorized 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
location. (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.”
