Crosman M1 *backporch plinking

Crosman made the most iconic BB gun of ever, the M1 Carbine. The Crosman M-1 is a replica of the U.S. M1 30 caliber carbine

The Crosman M1 Carbine is based on the Crosman V-350 BB gun. Crosman re-skined the V-350 with M1 Carbine stock and cast pieces. The V-350 model name stands for the velocity, around 350 f.p.s. But most shoot a bit harder. The Carbine was blessed with all of that, so it’s a powerful bb gun.

The Crosman Model M-1 Carbine was first produced in 1966. The model had a wood stock and continued production through 1967. In 1967 Crosman replaced the wooden stock with a plastic stock and called it Croswood that simulated a wood finish. Shortly after Crosman also made a dark plastic stock.

The action was operated by pushing the barrel straight back into the receiver this cocked the rifle. Wear to the bluing the barrel is common from repeatedly handling of the barrel to operate the gun. The barrel has a smooth bore. The rifle is a .175 bb repeater. The safety and magazine release simulated those of the original M1 carbine but were fixed in place and non functional. To load the BB's into the rifle, the slide handle is pulled slightly to the rear. This opens the forward of two holes in the handguard. Then slid forward to close. The clip was used to hold extra bbs. and it has a fully functional peep sight.

I will be shooting the rifle at 30 feet off hand.
