Crossman Trapmaster 1100

[planetmobius]

I was just given an excellent conditioon Crossman Trapmaster 1100 Co2 powered shotgun. Anyone have any experience with these or know what to do with them. I know they were only made from 67-71. It is a beautiful gun with a heavy hardwood stock. What acessories do I need to operate this thing and where do I get them?

I've never seen one of these. Very interesting.

I've never owned or fired one but I've always wondered just what they were capable of.

They are a very cool gun. I bought one on another forum and it would not hold air. They were designed after the Remington 1100. They look like a .410 1100.

They fire small shot cartridges. I have spoken to a man who still makes the cartridges. I purchased a few hundred from him and sent my trapmaster to Mac1 in California for repair.

I'll try to get the contact information for the man who makes the cartridges.

This may help a bit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODHPmmqEGCU

Please post the contact information Geddinight. I also have one of those Remington airshotguns.

Neat guns, apparently they can be modified to fire a .375 lead ball at almost 500 fps!

I called and spoke to him and bought some extra empty shells and wads. He was a wealth of information on the 1100.

Good luck.

Thanks guys, that's way more information than I had.

I've got one, used it to shoot Ritz Crackers thrown from a hand thrower. The plastic cartridges can be reloaded using felt wads.

Really cool shotguns and they work up close!
Shells are very hard to find!
Some modified them into rifles, ruining them. What a shame!

Seems to me I remember them being advertised in Field and Stream and Outdoor Life back in the day. They made some little plastic "skeet" targets for them that were spring loaded and opened up like a butterfly when hit by the shot.

I don't think I've ever actually seen one.
