I bought my Crosman 357/6 from europe for 40€. The old user said it was in shooting condition and i couldn't try it in the city. When i get home and put the powerlet in the co2 gas was coming out in the gun in seconds. I knew that the seals must been blown and opened the gun. It was easy to understand inside and I found that the pipe sending the gas from the powerlet to the main valve was leaking gas caused by the bad seals. I tried to fix the problem with mine own seals. With them I could shoot either it was leaking a really small amount of gas. When I first time shot the gun I think: I have get this holding gas the gun was a really amazing to shoot cause its power and looks. I asked from the local gunsmiths if they can fix the problem but none can. I was very dissapointed until my cousin in finland saw the gun and said thet his friends father works as co2 guns repair. During the summer holiday me and my cousin took the gun to the repair man and he put new seals in. Now it is holding gas wery well no gas is leaking at all. We have shot tin cans in our backyard and in our summer cottage. This gun is awesome my cousin tried to by the same gun from finland but he didn't find one so he bought the gamo pt80. He took it here and we started shooting. I shot with his gamo and he shoot with my 357. Then I realised that the gamo pr80 is not holding even nearly same power than Crosman. We compared the guns shooting plywood pieces and we found that Crosman is much more powerful penetrating much longer in the plywood than gamo. it also pops tin cans much better than gamo. Ok gamo is perhaps more accurate than this crosman but i think this revolver is much better than that gamo's piece of plastic. Now I have shot one rabbit, four birds and two rats with this and I still like it is the best air pistol I ever had. I also have the gamo af10 compressed air pistol and gamo auto45 co2 pistol and two gamo rifles cf-x and hunter 1250 both with scope. I really like this gun cause its power looks and reliability after the repair. Now I have shot nearly 8 tins trough it and it is working great! no gas is leaking.
