(L)Crosman SSP250 with .177 barrel installed and a spare .22 barrel ($15-). The loading port is missing and it's a bit rough. As with the other CO2 gun, I have no idea if it holds gas but I suspect not.
I thought that (R) I was buying a Daisy 717, but on closer inspection it's a 722 ($10-)! Excellent! Missing the rear sight and bad seals but that's not a problem. I think I have all the parts for repair. The 722 is in .22 caliber and somewhat rare.
The box of scopes was 5 for $10-, there are two good ones and 3 crappy ones. And a Marksman slingshot for a buck that I will never let the kids know about.
(L)A Daisy 200, in the box ($10-), I generally hate Daisy airguns (except for the 7xx series) but it's collectable and looks nice. (R) a Crosman 1377, pretty much in new condition ($20-)
Still has the stickers on it, holds and shoots! "Honestly Now...Have You Read These Instructions?", I love that.
The 200 is a nice looking gun. I just hope the seals are good as I don't want to invest any time in it.
(Top) Crosman 66 Powermaster with rust freckling. Not an exciting buy but I didn't have one. ($10-) It seems to work fine.
(Bottom) Crosman 760 Pumpmaster, in black with worn plating/polish. The scope is broken too. (EDIT: The scope is fine, it was mounted backwards) This will be a good loaner gun for friends. ($10-)
You can see the rust...it never sleeps.
A Daisy 840, it works as well as the other Daisy 840 I have, which is to say the seals are shot ($3-). I'm thinking of hanging all the broken Daisies on the wall of my shop. I won't be working on it.
This makes me think I missed out on a Crosman CO2 Trapmaster Shotgun! 4+ boxes of unused Crosman shotshells ($10-), and the manual for the Trapmaster. I'm saddened to think that someone bought it out from under me, but psyched that I got this rather hard to find ammo. Now I just need to find a Trapmaster. I'd probably trade one or two of the boxes for something interesting.
In great shape!
Anyway, I figured I'd gloat a bit. I can only imagine what I missed. I'm hoping that one of my yard sale contacts, who looks for airguns for me, bought a few others. But no guarantees...there never are.
Felice bought a chicken shaped towel hook ($1-) and was an extremely good sport about my insane buys. She even feigned interest convincingly as I showed her each one.

I had to work, so I missed the garage sales!! I Don't have much luck finding them at Garage sales here in Nw Arkansas.

Hey, I recently purchased a black 760 and it came with a black scope not a silver scope. would you potentially sell or give that cheap scope you got at the yard sale to me? I know it's a weird request but mostly I just want it for looks when I hang it.
That scope went away already, sorry. They're pretty easy to find at gun shows though.
You might enjoy shooting the 200, especially when using H&N Prazisions-Roundkugel oversized round lead balls in .179 cal, weighing in at 7.7gr.
Mine is amazingly accurate at ten meters.
The only thing I dislike is the fact that I don't have the left side grip for it. :(
Congrats on your excellent score!

Hi there,
Did you get any further measuring up the shells and producing a DWG?
I've recently bought an ultishot (which takes trapmaster shells) and I can't get shells anywhere in the UK!
If you could measure one for me I can probably start 3D printing them.
I did wonder if modified .41 colt brass might work too.
Many thanks
Luke
Luke, email me (cartertools@gmail.com) and I'll send you a quickie drawing. It's almost impossible to measure accurately though due to the softness of the plastic so you'll definitely need to tweak it.
