Comments:
Crosman introduced the
Model 357 series as a replacement for the venerable Model 38
series, which
was finally discontinued in 1985. The Model 38 (C and T) is a superior airgun
in just about all respects but lacks the removable pellet
cylinder of the 357.
The Model 357-4 will take both a six-shot and a ten-shot pellet
cylinder. It is a pretty decent plinker. Performance: Measurements were made on 3/01/07 at a temperature of 71 ºF and 14' elevation. A ten shot string was fired from a bench rest at 15' using JSB Match Diabolo pellets (7.4 gr). The highest velocity measured was 392 fps, the lowest was 371 fps (average of the 10-shot string was 381 fps). A six shot string fired with open sights grouped at 0.83".

Loading Pellets: A weak point of this design is the latch that holds the barrel closed. This loosens over time resulting in a floppy barrel and a decrease in accuracy. |
