Using barrel codes (such as those listed above) to date the manufacture are reliable on Remington rifles, as the company rarely changed barrels on a customer’s rifle.
Using these barrel codes to date a shotgun is somewhat unreliable, as shotgun barrels are often interchanged at random. One needs to be sure that the barrel is original to the gun before trusting the Barrel Code listing, above.
(*)
On 8/9/99, stopped stamping the barrels with the date code.
They continued to mark the date code on the end flap of the shipping box.
They resumed stamping the date code on the barrel on 10/1/01.

Nice vintage guns. Memeber uniondr (i thinks thats his title) will know everything about those guns. The guy is amazing. Heck he will may even be able to tell you what day of the week they were made. He has forgotten more info on crosman guns then I will ever know! Value is dependent on condition and desirabilty. Ive seen non working guns for as little as $5 up to 50 or 60 bucks for nice working vintage models.

The top one is indeed the anniversary model once more made to look like my 760 variant 1 which was dated, ' 60' on the pump tube endcap. They were dated that way on the ones made before July 1975. The '60' meant June 1970. After July 1975, the first 3-4 numbers of the serial number is the build date. Rather odd that an, ' anniversary' model has the later plastic receiver and bolt? The metal receiver and brass bolt should've been used. They were self-cocking back then as well. The ones with the plastic receiver and plastic Remington Nylon 66-like bolt are manual cocking. That is to say, it isn't cocked until you pull the bolt back to load it.
The bottom one is a variant 4, like mine, built January 1978. A year later than mine, built January 1977. What's the odds of that? The first three digits of the serial number are the build date. In this case, '178', which normally would be expressed as '1/78'. The 760 variant 4 likely has the full-length smooth-bore barrel like mine too? But it shoots straight, so that's okay. Just don't shoot BB's through them and the barrel will be/stay more accurate with pellets. They seem to like the JSB Exact Express 7.87gr, H&N Sniper light 7.5gr, & Beeman Silver Bear 7.1gr. Which makes sense, as they were tested with 7.9gr pellets! Steel BB's aren't good for those old, ' soda straw' barrels. And thanks for the kind words Stefanjan. I love the vintage Crossman's! I've seen like-new, never fired or very little 760's go for as much as $175 on the auctions. The 760XL & 761XL models with the brass-plated receivers, rifled barrels, & unique stocks for as much as $275!
My 760 variant 1, 6/70 restomodded;
And my 760 variant 4, 1/77 cleaned up with a period-correct Weaver V22-A Dual X scope with Simmons rings;

Russel,Correct, there was no mention of a silver receiver for the model you own. The only other option that I could think of besides a special product for a store, is if the receiver was stripped of the color to show the silver. [email protected]
Thank you,

Hello all,
my Step-Son was given a Crossman 760 by his grandfather (my father-in-law) unknowing of it’s working condition. Upon testing the pump lever moves fine, but does not seem to build pressure. I would really love to get it working for him as he has grown a love for shooting while in Boy Scouts. I was led to this page after doing some online research that has me thinking I know which model I have, but am not 100% sure. I would like to be before I order any parts.
i believe I have a December 1977 built Model 760 Powermaster.

I have a Crosman PowerMaster 760.
Not sure the date of it since I can not find a Serial Number one it.
I believe it is pre 1975.
