Comments:
The
model shown here is the second variant with plastic sights and
cylinder in 22 caliber. It was probably made between 1973 and
1975, before Crosman changed to serial numbers that indicated
date of manufacture. The United States Air Force used the
Crosman 38C and 38T for weapons training in the early 1960's to
simulate the standard issue S&W K-38 Combat Masterpiece. This
gun is capable of very good accuracy, especially in
single-action mode. The non-removable pellet cylinder slows down
reloading.
Performance:
Measurements were made on
11/07/06 at a temperature of 69 ºF and 14' elevation. A ten shot
string was fired from a bench rest at 15' using H&N Match Kugeln
pellets (13.4 gr).
The highest velocity measured was 332 fps, the lowest was 293
fps (average of the 10-shot string was 305 fps). A six shot string
fired with open sights grouped at 0.25". Click the thumbnail below to see a
