have 3 of these now, haven't shot 1 shot yet. purchased 1st about month and half ago and stock broke off and receiver fell apart while oiling, contacted crosman, they sent a replacement, this replacement couldn't be cocked, crosman sent another, while trying to cock it the stock broke off and wouldn't cock either, ive tried 3 contact attempts by email and phone and no response from crosman. very disappointed in crosman quality, have owned crosman in past and never had issues like this.
About 8-9 years ago I bought a new Remington Airmaster 77. That gun was dropped by Crosman for a few years, but is now back. It's got the same guts as the 2100, but has a silver barrel and looks different. It's always been a good, reliable shooter for me, and has a metal receiver like the 2100. I am hoping that this Legacy model doesn't mean they are going to drop the metal receiver models 2100 and Remington Airmaster.
Thanks for the review, as always Kenny!
I bought one of these a week ago to begin teaching my son the basics of shooting. This is a great gun, very accurate and powerful for what it is and what it costs, I picked it up for $45 at Walmart.
Now for the bad news.....
This gun has a serious flaw, the cheep plastic receiver. It is not strong enough to handle the torsion of pumping the gun. Mine broke after about 60 shots. Upon opening up the receiver I found that the plastic lugs which are molded in to the plastic receiver which hold the chamber tube had broken along with the butt stock lugs rendering the gun useless. Instead of returning it I decided to drill holes through both sides of the receiver and put bolts. My gun looks like crap, but it's holding together so far and working great. If it breaks any further I'm going to hunt down a steel 2100 receiver and replace it all together.
intel 0116 the plastic Crosman uses for this gun is ABS, which means broken pieces can be 'welded' back together using ABS plumbing pipe primer and glue, or if you can work quickly, acetone can be used to temporarily soften up both pieces and allow them to be rejoined. I am on my second Legacy, I made the mistake of disassembling my first one and two of the standoffs snapped off when i tried to reassemble. the acetone trick worked well, but for some reason it just never shot right again. splashed out on a second one and not taking it apart until something actually breaks from use.
it has plenty of power and is accurate, so I am learning from the mistake of trying to mod this one. If something breaks on my new one, I will splash out on a metal 2100 receiver for sure.
Frank Nikita + No glueing is welding. But the pieces could be plastic welded together. West System G-Flex 650 epoxy will glue stronger than prob. any other, in adhesion, tension, and shear. I've built an entire sailboat using it.
Hi gone through two of these already same issue , plastic receiver broke after 2 weeks , please gluing plastic welding this shouldn't be something that customers should be doing , I've the daisy 880 for three years now and hasn't given me any problems plastic not with standing the 880 is by far a better rifle if you want the crosman get the 2100 b has a metal receiver and will last .
Thanks. I'll be on the lookout.
I just got this gun, and it's amazing, best airgun I've held for the price, not as sturdy feeling as the powerline 880, but performs amazingly.
can you attach a bipod
I just bought one today and it was less than $50. I put a pellet in it and pumped it 10x. The pellet went through both sides of a STEEL soup can filled with water!! Blew a hole in the back 5x the size of the pellet. I didn't have a problem with the pellets loading on mine, luckily. Also, I thought it was VERY ACCURATE right out of the box. I'll zero the scope tomorrow and perhaps do a live shooting vid. Pretty impressed for the money!! THANK YOU!!
I just bought this rifle! Still the same price as when you bought it! I liked it enough to put a real scope on it. So far ive only shot it out to 70 yards so far. Imade a target from joint compound, about the consistency of clay that is about 10 inches tall and 8 inches thick. Going to have to move the target back further to 80 yards because at 70 im getting full penatration using Crossman Copper Magnum pellets! The scope is a Barska 3-9×32 illuminated mil dot reticle, cost more than the rifle 😂 however 10× better than the stock scope which should be no surprise to you. Great review on a fun pellet rifle! Ive made multiple videos testing accuracy and penatration vs my other 880's you may be interested in. One is cosmetic only and the other more than cosmetic. I would like your opinion on my modifications!
Thank you Sir for your frank and transparent transparent discussions on Air Rifles. I watch you weekly without fail.
Looks like a great starter for the price, and still very capable, especially in your hands. Im sure varmints make a wide berth around your property. Im still loving my Benjamin Trail NP2, but I accidenly put a tiny tiny drop of gun oil in it... and with a sudden second thought went and read I made a mistake. Been letting it sit barrel down for a while now, hoping I didnt mess it up.
Bonus on the can cooler ingenuity! Love your work! Thank you!
Thank you for the reviews ! I wish you were still with us and hope your enjoying every day at the great airgun range in the sky. GOD BLESS you and your family
I bought one from Walmart and put the Center Point 4x32 scope on it. One rabbit (headshot at 88 feet) and two squirrel (also headshots just inside 25 yards). Nice little rifle, very inexpensive.
Looking forward to small game season, after spending the summer getting used to the stiff trigger and adding a better scope, preferably something with mildots.
I miss kenny a lot he was a great guy
Looking Good Kenny. I picked up the Remington 77, new guts like the Legacy 1000, but has the silver barrel. I mounted the Simmons .22 mag scope in silver. Looks Sharp. Keep the vids coming and thanks.
Thanks Kenny I was thinking of getting my nephew a multipump you picked the right one for me to get for him. Thank You.
Ken I went with the Legacy after watching your review, I was considering a 22 cal Benjamin Prowler but with the backyard shot I'll be taking is less than 30ft I think the legacy will do the job on rabbits and squirrels with well placed head shots There days of raiding my backyard garden are over! The other thing is you mentioned the trigger on the Legacy is much better out of the box than the 2 stage triggers on the Nitro's, and the cost 47.31 tax inc. vs. 129 + tax. Thanks again for the Legacy review Kenny
Ken I got the legacy home and after taking the 3rd shot the gun failed to shoot after resetting the bolt multiple times it finally discharged, I took it back to Walmart. Went back to the sporting goods dept. and after looking I saw tucked in the back locked case a F4 I asked the clerk how much is this one? 79.00 he said, I said I'll take it!! After I got home I set it up with a 4 X 32 Bushnell... This gun is awesome, after sighting it in 5 shot groups at 25ft inside a quarter!! I can't believe Walmart here in Green Bay still had a F4 for 79.00, while in the top cabinet it was 109.00 I admit I was a bit worried about the 2 stage trigger But I'll watch your video on how to adjust it so it has a lighter pull...
Great video. I appreciate the amount of detail you explain like the Foot pounds of energy the air rifle produces. Thanks.
Nice review Kenny! Thanks for that. You refered this multi pump to me a while back as a possible hunter. Great to see you looking so good!
Hello Kenny, thank you for another great review, always very helpful.
Great to see you Kenny and thank you for bringing back memories.
I'm using the crosman lead piranhas at 10.5 grains, out of the legacy 1000. Satisfied so far.
Another great review - everything you say fits what I've experienced with the 1377' series. Thanks for your reviews.
Got one today at Walmart for $45. Great power, but not accurate at 10 yards with a fixed 6X scope with 30mm tube. The pumping tube flexes into the barrel shroud starting about the 3rd pump. Will continue looking for an accurate pellet. Hoping to bring it down to 1/2" at 10 yards. With JSB RS and JSB Ultra Shock getting a fraction below and above 10.5 fpe at 12 pumps. 8.0 (RS) and 8.5 (US) fpe at 6 pumps.
8 different pellets tried. 2nd best 10 yard 5 shot group at 1/2" - Predator GTO. Best so far 10 yard 5 shot group at 7/16" or slightly under -- H&N Field Target Trophy Green. The other 6 were heavier H&N, JSB, Air Arms and Crosman lead pellets.
Try less pumps. Remove the rings from the "scope" to make sights from them, and throw the rest of it as far as can.
I prefer to use the ironsights, rather than the included scope. I dialed the scope in and it still is so inconsistent, but I guess that's just my lack of experience with airguns, this being the best performing gun I own.
Hi Kenny , best wishes to , I've had 2 of these ,they shot great for a couple of months then just fell apart, literally one of them in my hands great power but I think if I go this way again I'll go with the 2100 for the metal receiver , this is where both of these failed me 😧 best wishes take care I love your videos 😆
I have the same gun. And I'm going to change out the scope on mine . And I camouflage mine turn out nice.
Thank you Kenny I'm thinking about buying another pellet rifle off of your information either the legacy or Benjamin prowler
Hey Kenny,
Good review.
The Legacy 1000 was the replacement for my Daisy 880, which was never quite right, and broke when out of warranty. No more Daisys for me.
The bolt handle on my Legacy flexes inward at the rear of the pull. Pyramydair said they have not heard of any issue like that, but to contact them if it becomes a problem. Did your bolt exhibit such a flex?
I must say that your hospitality is somewhat lacking, yet thanks for inviting us into your home. But would it have killed you to pop some popcorn for us to enjoy while we listened to your review? Just sayin'.
And a salute to all veterans today, 11-11-2017.
Thank you.
Si vis pacem, para bellum.
Thanks Kenny!
not sure if you still have your rifle but I just posted a video On Accuracy Test of mine. Accuracy of Crosman Legacy...done with 8 different pellets from 20 yards (Only 10 pumps for testing)...man, those pellets (price) adds up but it was fun. Winner: JSB Exact Dome 8.44 gr.....for my rifle with scope....I did get the Bugbuster scope...it just doesn't sit back far enough for me (for most I'm guessing) but is doable. fun test.
Nice! Glad to see your still doing videos!
Thanks Kenny great reviews . Ron
Enjoyed the video Kenny. Keep on putting out solid information like this it's greatly appreciated. If you haven't already I'd like to see accuracy test, and chronograph numbers on a Hatsan 135 qe. 30 cal break barrel, if you ever purchase it. Have a great day.
Looks like a winner !! Thanks
The gun fell apart after firing it around 30 times. I returned it to Walmart for a replacement and the rifle would not function after a couple of weeks. Do not waste your time with this air rifle.
You do a great job with your reviews. Thanks
Good review. Just bought one at Walmart today for $44 as a total impulse buy, and for that price, why not?
Great Review! Thank you.
Hi, like your review, would like to know the difference between the 2100,1000 legacy and the Remington 77x, TKY .
Agreed. That is a great buy at that price. Like the whole made drink cooler and is a great idea. Still using the drink cooler, and rifle?
Very informative; thanks.
thank you
could you shoot this one at distance....50yrds, 80yrds....see if it is still accurate with pellets and BBs. soup can is what I consider accurate at those ranges. Great well thought out reviews keep up the good work!
Soup can at 80yrds with a BB??!!.....NOPE!!!!!
A pellet.... yes!!, but not with BB's, your talking 2 Foot groupings with bb's at that distance, if you find the right pellet you should get around a 2 inch group at 80yds, if you're really good maybe an inch and a half,
Good video.
What do you think about the build quality of this airgun?
Do you think it would Last years of moderate use? I've heard reports of the
receiver breaking and coming apart. How's yours holding up?
Thanks in advance.
do you know what the fps numbers are when using the minimum of three pumps for BBs? thanks.
Nope.
good day sir, nice to see you.
now, i am not so on pump-guns, it wasn t that tradition in europe [we did not have them here], it was all diana.
anyway a pumper for hunting isn t the airgun.
Todd Hunter As a boy I killed all kinds of small game with a pump gun. I had a daisy powerline. it worked fine, just slow follow up shots.
Fantastic video kenny, I love cheep guns , which will last a long time, I feel the expensive guns , we don't use anuff, so we aren't really getting value for money, even though there are quality.
Whats the most powerful multi pump airgun? Love multi pumps however I'd like to have a little more power than my One-77 Daisy 880 Powerline. Great videos Kenny God bless you brother keep it real
Benjamin 392
I like your video.
hi Kenny G good air gun review.
enjoy your videos.
could you review the Daisy 35? it's another inexpensive airgun ($40)
beans310eight the 35 is a great gun
Get it!
Wouldn't the steel bb's ruin rifling? I use lead balls on my 101 in 22 but someone shot bb's out my 1907 BSA which dulled the lands.
Yes
If you want to do it right call the tell him to use authentic wood but in adult version and make it nitro piston what do you think about that brother
whenever I pump mine it feels like it's scratching and sounds like it.but I just bought it.should I oil it
Put a few drops on the Pump Cup.
I'm working on one now.
Not good if it's shaving the pellets Daisy is known for that,as a kid I had one that wouldn't take a pellet unless I'd put a BB behind it.yes I know it's a crosman
thanks mate
Opened up the main reciever compartement and parts fell out . how to reassemble ?
For a $50 rifle, I recommend just buying another one.
Hi, just getting into air guns. Need something to shoot squirrels in an urban settings so it needs to be quiet.
Great presentation,thank you,happy shooting,cheer up,next time,your horse might come in HAHAHA. But great info etc.
crosman uses their own SSP alloy ammo which weighs in at a mere 4gr for their FPS claims,that explains the 1000 fps claim.
They also use 4.1 gr. Dust devil bbs .....
Thanks for the good video keep it up!!!
I just purchased one of these and we are having so much trouble with it! I bought pellets and they seem to keep getting jammed. Please let me know if you have any tips on operating this ( for a newbie!) . Thank you!
@@JLong-kn4us , I made a plastic holder to carry a tiny brush under the barrel. When I fail to get the pellet in the loading chamber facing the muzzle, i use the tiny brush. It's slower than loading a musket, but takes less powder. Good little gun if ya find the pellets it likes.
Can any power modifications be done to pump guns?? Maybe valving mods or something??
Yeah it can be done to many , especially Crosman Air Guns and Rifles 🎯
I got this gun several months ago. I got pellets and bb's. Poured in bb's but I can't find this window that shows it loaded right. I shook and twirled as specified. Pumped it up and shot close to a piece of plywood multiple times. No bb comes out. What am I doing wrong?
I would consider replacing the plastic receiver with the metal version of the 2100.
I have an older 766, wonder if the metal receiver on that would fit this gun, not sure it will match up. my 766 leaks air and not into dealing with fixing it and cost too much to send out to get it fixed.
germanshepherd13 it would be worth it to look at the parts diagrams for the 766 and compare them to the 1000 legacy before tearing either of the guns apart.
thanks... will do that..good suggestion
Best review!
RIP Kenny =(
Mine is leaking air when trigger is prest
Great can cooler!
I also wondered if you can pump this up in advance-hours or a day-as your target won't wait. Plagued by raccoons here.
Mine holds the air from 10 pumps (most accurate) for a day easily.
Plus the cylinder will be slideable like gas released and shaft closed in
I bet if you used a super light pellet it could go up to 1000 fps but not sure and I'm wondering would this make a good gun for hunting frogs?
What makes a good frog gun?
Winchestr 1977xs is the most potnt air rifl i'v fird, prsonly . . .
Ok I justs got one win u pump it is it suposts 2 tight win u pump justs asking I only shoot .177 pellet s in mine. Only
Kenny i just got a new Benjamin steel eagle NP2 at Cabelas on sale for 159.99 and I get a 25.00 rebate from Crosman. just though you would like to know . Looking to see a review on it . ron
This review is the same power plant, trigger and stock shape as the Steel Eagle. czcams.com/video/shgACIFEhT0/video.html
No loss in velocity after sitting for an hour and a half.
Hi Kenny, do you shoot or own any PCPs?
Diana Stormrider. Haven't shot it yet.
Do you think that this gun is worth the buy even though it has a plastic receiver?
Yes.
Ok I'm justs asking I justs got one were do u put the bbs in at. I thank 4 pellets u can only load 1 at a time
The bottom grip Uber stock circle piece slides backwards
Than you rack the bb chamber back and rotate the gun until it fills up
Grip under stock my mistake
Have to move it slow the pellet and pump slow
looks quite similar to the 2100
*I just love the pot metal and plastic these junkers are made of.*
The current pumpers just aren't nearly as good in any way as the older Sheridan's or Crosman's
You can still buy the benjamin pumpers. And the newish seneca dragonfly is nice to
Guys dont buy this. I have it and the plastic on the receiver is crap. I pulled the thingy on the side back to load it and you could damn near see the whole inside of the gun from the top. Shoots great. Had to replace with a daisy 1101ws. Cheaper gun WAYYYYYY better quality
How do you put on the scope!?
It isn't worth the time.
I would love to see Crosman "re-skin" this in a more "tactical" look...
ME TOO!!
Would 5 pumps be enough to kill a ground squirrel?
No.
myairgunreviews 8 to ten pumps with 8 grain pellets? I have a problem with them digging around and into the foundation of my home, also creating some problems with flooding and whatnot.
10 to 12 pumps.
took me 12 pumps and 2 bbs in 1 shot. I got the crossman pirana hollow points 10.5 grain pellets will not kill squirrel from 15 yrds, also will not kill or hurt raccoons either bird are dust no matter what u hit them with
karl steffens I got one with 12 pumps using a steel bb...
mine just jammed first try
Same here! WTF
Very inaccurate shoots all around target
