Quote from: ac12 on February 05, 2014, 04:00:35 PMBTW, for casual target shooting, I prefer the 953 over the 853.This is because the plastic stock of the 953 is heavier than the wood stock of the 853.In fact I replaced the wood stock on my 853 with a replacement 953 stock that I ordered from Daisy, this makes the 853 heavier and easier to shoot.BTW, I stuffed the hollow 953 stock with some old cotton rags... it sounds nicer and has a few more oz weight as well.

Fairly old thread. Are these still good numbers for the pre-drill housing, etc for the 853 trigger mods ?For mod #3, call Daisy Customer Support and order the following parts888-3 Trigger Housing, already has the hole drilled for the adjustment screw888-5 Trigger Assembly, already has the trigger parts shaped for you888-18 Screw assortment, the trigger adjustment screw is in this kit (not needed if you use a 8-32 screw as mentioned below
I did the 888 mod to my 853 years ago. Easy as cake and man, are you going to like it.
I fabbed up a quick trigger shoe for my Avanti 753. It's .5" wide and secured to the plastic trigger with two #4-40 set screws. I machined an inverse waffle pattern on the finger pad. The "bumps" are about .02x.02", about .01" tall. I didn't deburr it, so the pad is very grippy, yet comfortable. Not pretty, but functional and better than the plastic trigger. JMJ
