Crosman Powermaster 760 pump bb gun won't hold an air charge

It seems like the gasket is dry so I oiled it hoping it would solve the problem, but it hasn't. Does anyone know what to do?

If the rubber piston on the end of the piston assembly is missing, try this:

http://www.usacarry.com/forums/general-firearm-discussion/6931-crossman-66-powermaster-fix.html

If the piston is still there, it may just have shrunk a little due to age or lack of oil. Drive out the roll pin at the top end of the pump tube, then remove the square-drive screw holding the end cap to the barrel sleeve. Be careful not to strip the threads here, since the barrel sleeve is just thin metal.

Remove the end cap and extract the fore-grip and piston assembly. Pull the rubber piston off the assembly and place the cupped end against a golf ball, then compress in a clamp or vise for 15 minutes or so to flare out the cupped end a little.

Check the fit, and if it pumps, reassemble. Worked for me.

    The dismantle instructions worked great. I did take a different approach to expand the rubber piston and clean it and the tube. Once I pulled the piston assembly out of the tube my inspection of the rubber piston at the end revealed the rubber to be an open cup at the end. I cut a slim 1/8" strip of pricing tag (you know, the plastic bar code tags stapled on the end of lumber) and slid it in between the rubber cup and metal piston (this expanded the rubber piston a few microns providing a better seal). I then lightly sprayed the rubber piston with carb cleaner. And, sprayed generous amounts of carb cleaner down the piston tube (up ended to pour out excess. Clean as a whistle! Re-assembled and worked the pump action / press trigger. Also held trigger down while pumping a few times. Back-n-forth until pumping up 3 times fire, then pump 5 times and fire, and then pump 8 times and fire (no bbs, just work it and notice the increased firing sound with more pumps). No more air blow-by hissing. All fixed! Happy shooting! Jeffro.

    The roll pin at the top of the pump tube won't come out. Is there a special way to get it out?

    I can't get the roll pin at the top of the pump tube out, is there a special way to do it or is my gun just messed up? Any ideas?

    Perhaps you may have all ready managed to repair your gun if not , try this. First the proper terminology is not a role pin , it in fact is a spring pin. Reason being the material its made from is not only durable , its intelligent. Spring steel has properties that able it to return back to its original state , just as efficient as a spring. The hole your pin is in will be somewhat smaller than its dia. ,since it is not completely cylindrical but rather rolled its entire length the pin has give. This means the right sized hole will except the pin with some force . Once hammered in ,not beaten the pin tries to expand allowing it to remain tight. To remove it , its almost opposite. Never hold the cylinder in a vice the slightest damage to its factory machining will destroy it. Best lay it flat on a heavy bench , many work shops will have holes drilled thru benches for project's such as this. Place your workpiece over top the hole so that when it punches thru it will land on the floor. Now you'll need to find a punch , sizing is important to small it will get knocked it to the pin center expanding it and making it more difficult to remove. To large it will ride on the o.d of the drilled hole. line your punch up over the pin and tap with a hammer , some force may be needed. If you are able to fit the punch into your hole with out force , your on your way. Before you put the pin back in clean the pin up with fine sand paper round both end's as a lead in , just in case they were mushroomed when being removed. Good luck.

Never use oil on the gun it will destroy the seals use automatic transmission fluid.If you go to Colemans web site and look up service centers you can call and get a seal kit for the gun for less than $20 and rebuild the whole thing.

I think it might just need oil . just get a fine air rifle or gun oil and put 4 or 5 drops in the plunger, and 2 or 3 in the place the trigger locks it back ,

By the way, I just took apart my 760 (2nd variant) and looked for a seal kit to replace everything. Kinda overpriced almost everywhere. I called the Crosman co. They patched me through to their customer service...I got the following parts for around 14.50 (that's with shipping). 130-034, 130-035, 140-058, 130-057, 1400a029, 1322D020 (used to be C, but they changed the part # to D) the following part were obsolete - 760-050 (brass nut goes on the bolt action), 760-037, 111a026 (standard spring). Hope this helps.

My granddaughters 760 pump master will not hold air pressure. When you pump the handle it makes a funny noise such as rubbing the side of a ballon filled with air. The BB just falls out of the barrell. Can...

Hello, I'm not sure why you wrote under this other guns listing. The Crosman Phantom .177 Caliber Break Barrel Air Rifle is a single break action pump and it only shoots Pellets. also much nicer than the 760 pump master, but, it also costs more than 2x's as much.

as for your problem with the 760. sounds to me like it was not maintained well. If You have tried this already ( Crosman Pellgunoil® Air Gun Lubricating Oil ) and it did not work. You can assume that little BB gun is probably broken, the air compression chamber have popped a seal most likely.

if You haven't tried that, oiling the gun then I suggest doing that and maybe it's not too late. There really isn't a lot to be done on these cheaper models of BB guns.

if the BB gun is not years old, just purchased, and Amazon buy, or something else cool like you have a wal mart receipt for it or even if you don't have a receipt and you just want to exchange it. ( i will explain that in a minute ) then I suggest you try sending it back.

If You bought it at a store`, you don't have a receipt. do this if you feel you did nothing to deserve this broken gun.

go back to that store and buy another one, exactly like that one. with cash or card. save your receipt, take the gun home, get it out of the package and use it and take care of it according to the directions. in a day or two take the broken one and the box from the new one back to the store and tell them you want a refund and they will credit your card back Or if you paid cash they will give your cash back. This method of return eliminates the possible bad mood or cranky manager that COULD turn your request down because of no receipt.

This is a great answer to your problem isn't it? :O) Hope it helps.

Can you see through the barrel? Or run a rod down the bore? It sounds like the BB is either falling out the end of the barrel or the BBs are getting jammed up in there. Do not hold your hand in front of the barrel to see if any air comes out. You might get stung with 10 BBs. Hope this helps.

What is an older powermaster 760 bb/pellet gun worth in ok condition but not holding air

well just seeing it's old might make it worth about 50$ for a collector to buy, but to actually use it might be worth about 10-20$ the best thing to do is 1. put it up in a local newspaper for sale or 2. go to Gunbroker.com and put it up for auction. Personally I'd say gunbroker, you have no idea how much money people make on there for selling things like Redryders and older guns.

Bb gum wont pump up

Open the pump arm (fore stock) all the way and check the rubber O-ring for cracks. If it's just dry, get some Pellgunoil® Lubricating Oil or the equivalent from a gun/sporting goods store and oil it.
