Crosman Trapmaster 1100 Disassembly, Part 6

Last disassembly post, next post will be me trying to fix it in my typical hamfisted manner.

03241255
I made the plastic drift even longer.
03241256
Finally got it out. Look at that rust(?) on the barrel.
03241257
Or glue? Maybe someone though the forearm was loose and tried to tack it in place?
03241258
It’s interesting rust.
03241259
The tube seems ok although dirty inside.
03241260
The piercing cap should come apart easily.
03241261
Ok, I can remove this.
03241262
Bent my much modified tool.
03241263
Finally unscrewed the top piercing pin. But I was unable to go further. The piercing cap pieces are stuck together. I’m soaking them and may need to apply heat. It’s not as bad as some guns I’ve taken apart but a few issues will need to be dealt with.

Crosman Trapmaster 1100 Disassembly, Part 5

A little longer…
03241238
Just two pieces left…
03241239
Rear cartridge piercing.
03241240
I braced it in a vice and unscrewed it.

03241241
Well two pieces came out…
03241242
The o-ring has an old nick.
03241243
The piercer won’t come out…soaked it in some WD40.
03241244
So the valve tube assembly end won’t come out because one screw is sheared off. I drilled it down below the surface.
03241245
Finally. Man, look at that rust. I was hesitant to take the Trapmaster apart as it looked ok, but clearly it needed this.
03241246
Even the o-ring is rusty.
03241247
Valve spring.
03241248
Valve assembly.
03241249
At least the valve seat looks good.
03241250
Valve parts.
03241251
That seal looks ok.
03241252
Finally was able to jimmy out the piercing pin with a broken dental pick.
03241253
The screen retainer was so rusty it broke when I removed it.
03241254
Dang, that’s nasty.
One more post…

Really, I’m not done…
03241219
Remove the ejector spring.

Springy…
03241224
Shell extractor. Did I mention this thing uses shotshells?
03241221
Remove the sear.
03241222
This will get a bit of polishing.
03241223
Now the valve assembly comes out. Still attached to the tube/03241225
Remove some screws to get the hammer assembly off.
03241226
One piece lighter.
03241227
The spring won’t come off without prying and there’s no harm in leaving it.
03241228
Valve.
03241229
The pin is swaged in.03241230
Remove the c-clip and the “barrel stop”(?) comes off.03241231
Interesting.
03241232
Valve release stem comes out.
03241233
It looks better from a distance. Seems like this gun got moist.
03241234
Trying to remove the valve tube assembly.
03241235
It should come off now…
03241236
Pushing out the pin that retains the barrel release lever.
03241237
Well it came out.
Only two more posts…

Crosman Trapmaster 1100 Disassembly, Part 3

Yes, there’s a ton more. I think this will probably hit 6 posts.
03241201
Another shot of the action.
03241202
This lever opens up the breech by pushing the barrel forward.
03241203
The extractor.
03241204
The trigger looks like a good place to start with disassembly.
03241205
Simple trigger.
03241206
Remove the power adjustment assembly by unhooking the spring.
03241207
It’s a stamping and a screw.
03241208
Power adjusting lever.
03241209
Removed. I don’t know what that gunk on the screw threads is. Could be silicone.
03241210
Sear spring.

03241211
Lifting it up allows the safety to drop out.
03241212
The spring.
03241213
Time to remove more screws.
03241214
The barrel comes out now.
03241215
Barrel guide and spring.

Slid off.
