The Crosman models worth knowing
Crosman 2240 and 2250
The 2240 is a CO2 air pistol that uses a single 12g capsule. It is simple and cheap, and there are many upgrade parts for it, including longer barrels, steel breeches and stocks. The 2250 is a carbine version with a shoulder stock. In the UK, a 2240 must stay under 6 ft-lb as a pistol, and a carbine conversion must stay under 12 ft-lb.
Crosman 1377 and 1322
The 1377 (.177) and 1322 (.22) are pump-up pistols. You pump them several times before each shot. They are another favourite base for custom builds.
Crosman 1077 and 362
The 1077 is a CO2 rifle with a 12-shot rotary magazine, and the 362 is a pump-up rifle. Both are fun, low-cost guns for plinking.
Crosman 2400KT
The 2400KT was a CO2 carbine built through the Crosman Custom Shop. It is accurate for the money and well liked in the UK.
The Crosman Custom Shop
The Custom Shop let buyers order a gun built from a choice of barrels, stocks, triggers and breeches. Many UK shooters also build their own custom Crosmans from aftermarket parts. Custom guns can be excellent, but they vary a lot, so ask exactly what parts are fitted and what power the gun shoots at.
Benjamin air rifles
Benjamin is an old American air gun brand that is now part of Crosman. It is best known for:
- Benjamin Marauder: a multi-shot, very quiet PCP with lots of adjustment. It is a popular PCP for the money.
- Benjamin Discovery: a light, simple PCP designed to be filled from a hand pump.
- Benjamin 397 and 392: classic pump-up rifles.
US-market Benjamin rifles are often more powerful than the UK limit. Make sure any Benjamin you buy shoots under 12 ft-lb, or that you hold an FAC that covers it.

What to check on a used Crosman or Benjamin
- Power: this matters most. US-spec guns and modified guns can be over the UK limits. Ask for a chronograph reading, and walk away if it can’t be confirmed.
- CO2 seals: fit a fresh capsule and leave it for a while. A slow hiss means the seals need replacing, which is cheap.
- Pump guns: pump and fire several times to check it holds air between pumps.
- Custom parts: ask for a list of upgrades. Good parts add value, but poorly fitted ones cause problems.
- PCPs (Marauder, Discovery): fill and leave overnight to check for leaks.
