What media do you blast with?
So when I got this gun it was missing the safety button. Evidently there are different safety buttons depending on year. The new one didn't work after an hour of trying I dug through the scrap pile and found one from an older rifle and it fit. The only ones I can find are the new style. Does anyone know a source for the older safety buttons?

I had a Daisy 880 in the 1980s. I asked for it for Christmas in 1983 I believe. My mom picked us up late at night from the family we stayed with while she worked nights and I seen the boxed gun sticking out from underneath a blanket in the back of her pinto. I chose to keep quiet as I knew it meant a lot to my mom to surprise me for Christmas. The thing that made me want it was an outdoor life ad that showed it penetrating 10 gauge steel at 10 yards and I put it to the test and it did! Shot tons of birds, some squirrels, a large snake, a pigeon from the top of the grain elevators, and a possum with it. That gun was incredible. I wore it out and honestly I have no idea what happened to it. Perhaps I threw it away at some point. That gun was pumped 10 times so fast sometimes it was like a screen door lol. It was banged up pretty hard. Years later I saw an 880 that belonged to my future (now past) in laws as I was so disappointed. It was plastic everywhere. I said I’d never own another plastic Lego gun again. Today I’m more into adult air rifles with wood so I doubt I’ll ever feel like spending money on an old daisy but this post brought back memories. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
