I'm going to need more information, like the model number to Identify it. Just the serial is alone is not much help. Different models had different serial number's.
It was made in 1978. Today Crosman owns the Benjamin line of air guns.
IF it has one it is usually located on the Barrel by the breech. Some of the older Crosmans don't have any at all.
Most likely around late 1956 according to Crosman who owns Benjamin.
The serial number 4279990 is a partial serial number for this rifle. To determine the date the rifle was manufactured you need to provide a complete serial number that begins with letters.
You have listed the model number of your rifle,not the serial number.
Not a serial number if that is on a Sears or JC Higgins rifle. Might be a serial number on an Ithaca rifle. Please list all the markings on the rifle, just as they are on the rifle. sales@countrygunsmith.net
The rifle had the serial number C 2766.
I don't believe Crosman ever made a model 40 rifle. I have no reverence to any model by that number made by Crosman. However they did make a model 140 from 1954 to 1968 in four variations.
