WARNING:

 Keep the soft air gun in the “ON SAFE” 

position until you are actually ready to shoot.  

• Locate the safety on the right side of the gun 

directly behind the bolt. 

• Push the safety all the way back toward the 

“S” for ON SAFE. (Fig. 2A).  

The safety is not “ON 

SAFE” unless it is pushed all the way back Like all 

mechanical devices, a soft air gun safety can fail. 

Even when the safety is “ON SAFE”, you should continue to handle the soft air gun safely.  NEVER point the soft air 

gun at any person.  NEVER point the soft air gun at anything you do not intend to shoot.

•  Push the safety all the way forward toward the “F” for fire. 

When the safety is in the “F” position, the airgun is 

“OFF SAFE” and can be fired.  (Fig 2B)

 

• Make sure the soft air rifle is “ON SAFE” (Sec. 2.1).

• NOTE:  Locate the two screws and hex wrench in the plastic bag.  These items will be used to attach assembly A 

(the barrel and action ) to assembly B (stock) .

Using the screws in the wrong location will casue damage to the product and may 

make it unsafe.

• Install assembly A (the barrel and action) into assembly B (stock) as in Fig 3.

• Insert the longer screw into the hole in the middle of the stock and tighten with 

the hex wrench. 

• Insert the shorter screw into the hole in the front of the stock and tighten with hex 

wrench. 

• Locate the screw on the back of the trigger guard and tighten with the wrench.

 

The length of the soft air rifle can be extended by installing up to 3 stackable butt 

spacers.  Each butt spacer is 3/8 inch in length. 

• Remove the butt pad by loosening the 2 locking screws (Fig. 4)

• Choose the number of butt spacers you want to use and stack the butt spacers on 

the back of the stock.

• Place the butt pad on top of the stack of butt spacers.

• Install and tighten the two locking screws.

 

Magazine

• Locate the magazine in the box.

• Insert the magazine into the soft air rifle making sure it clicks into place.

Bipod

• Locate and push the rod release button on the side of the speedloader to release 

the spring rod. (Fig. 5)

• Open the speedloader cap.

• Insert  6mm  plastic BBs into the speed loader.

• Make sure the soft air rifle is “ON SAFE” (Sec 2.1) and pointed in a  

  SAFE DIRECTION.

• Press the magazine release button to release the magazine.

• Align the tip of the loaded speedloader with the hole in the magazine.  

• Push the spring rod to load pellets into the magazine.  Repeat this process until the magazine is full.

• Point the soft air rifle in a SAFE DIRECTION.

• Follow section 5 on cocking the soft air gun.

• After reading section 7, on aiming and firing safely, take the gun“OFF SAFE“ and pull the trigger.

• Repeat these steps until you are no longer firing plastic BBs.

• Put the airgun back “ON SAFE“. 

      WARNING:

 Never assume that because the soft air gun no longer fires a plastic 

BB and/or the magazine is removed, that a plastic BB is not lodged in the barrel.  

Always treat the soft air gun as though it is loaded and with the same respect you 

would a firearm.

 

      WARNING:

 Always hold the bolt firmly when you cock it to prevent possible injury.

• Put the soft air rifle “ON SAFE”. (See Step 2A)

• Holding the rifle firmly, pull the bolt up and  all the way back.  Use a straight stroke to prevent breakage (Fig. 6)

• Return the bolt to the original closed position with a smooth stroke.  Be sure to hold the rifle firmly as you close the 

bolt.

NOTE:  You must follow the procedure for cocking and firing your airgun each time you shoot.  

Your soft air gun is manufactured with a hop-up system.  The purpose of this airgun is 

to change the spin on the BB as it leaves the muzzle allowing you to adapt your shot 

for different distances.

• Locate the hop-up switch at the left side of the foregrip.

• Slide the hop-up adjustment switch to the desired position.

• After you finish reading the manual and have fired a few shots, watch the trajectory.  

You may want to adjust the Hop Up again.

7.1 Aiming and Firing Safely

• You and others with you should always wear shooting glasses or goggles designed for soft air to protect your eyes.  

• Always aim your soft air rifle in a SAFE DIRECTION.  When you are sure of your target and backstop, and the area 

around the target is clear, cock  the soft air rifle (see sec. 5), take “OFF SAFE” (see sec 2.2) and squeeze the trigger 

to fire.

• Do not shoot at hard surfaces or at the surface of water.  The plastic BBs may bounce off or ricochet and hit some-

one or something you had not intended to hit.  If the plastic BBs should happen to hit a hard surface, DO NOT reuse 

those plastic BBs because they could cause possible damage to your soft air rifle.

• Always choose your target carefully.  It is best to shoot at targets, which are attached to a safe backstop. Your 

backstop should be checked for wear before and after each use.  Replace your backstop if the surface is worn or 

damaged, or if a ricochet occurs.  

• Your soft air rifle is designed for target shooting and is suited for both indoor and outdoor use.  Always remember 

to place your target carefully.  THINK about what you will hit if you miss the target, or if the plastic BB richochets.

 

• Make sure the soft air rifle is “ON SAFE” (See Step 2.1).

• Point the soft air rifle in a SAFE DIRECTION.

• Follow section 5 on cocking the soft air gun and section 4 on loading.

• After reading section 7 on aiming and firing safely, take the gun“OFF SAFE“ and pull the trigger.

• Tampering with the soft air rifle or attempts to change the soft air rifle in any way may make it unsafe to use, cause 

injury particularly to the eye, and will void the warranty.   

 

 

• If you drop your soft air rifle, check to see that it works properly before you use it again.  If anything seems 

changed, like a shorter or weaker trigger pull, this may mean worn out or broken parts.  Call Customer Service at 

Crosman for assistance before using your soft air rifle again.

• Do not ever point the soft air rifle at any person.  Do not ever point the soft air rifle at anything you do not intend to 

shoot.

• Always treat the soft air rifle as though it is loaded and with the same respect you would a firearm.

• Always aim in a SAFE DIRECTION.   Always keep the muzzle of the soft air rifle pointed in a SAFE DIRECTION.

• Always keep the soft air rifle “ON SAFE” until you are ready to shoot in a SAFE DIRECTION.

• Always check to see if the soft air rifle is “ON SAFE” and unloaded when getting it from another person or from 

storage.

• Always keep your finger off the trigger and out of the trigger guard until ready to shoot.

• If your reading or prescription glasses are not safety glasses make sure you wear shooting glasses or soft air 

goggles over your regular glasses.

• Use 6 mm plastic BBs only. 

• Do not shoot at hard surfaces or at the surface of water.  The plastic BBs may bounce off or ricochet and hit some-

one or something you had not intended to hit.  If the plastic BBs should happen to hit a hard surface, DO NOT reuse 

those plastic BBs because they could cause possible damage to your soft air rifle.
