I recently purchased an NRA Centennial bb rifle, but, it appears that the seals are bad. Is there anyone that may be able to help me with getting the best out of this rifle, it's only in fair shape and I have no hope of it being a collectible, but would like to see it be usable by granddaughter and great granddaughters? I learned on one and want to see the nostalgia of shooting something that is almost as old as their dads. I'm willing to give it a try, but I don't have a lot of skills as an airgun smith.
Thanks in advance

I assume that it is a Daisy 1894. Given your description of your airgunsmith skills, I recommend sending it out to a Daisy gunsmith. There are a bunch. It is not an easy gun to work on. I do my own repair/reseals and hit a wall with the 1894. I found that I needed three more hands than I have to get it back together.
That said, there are official Daisy repair manuals available for the 1894 on Ebay for cheap.
