The 853 from CMP continues to be the best deal around......
I have both a Daisy 953 and a CMP 853, both need to be resealed, a process that appears to be beyond my limited abilities.
I decided to lubricate my 853 using the instructions in the Pyramyd Air blog and I soaked it down good, let it rest, wiped it down and it fired well in my backyard. Excellent inputs from Ronno6 were helpful and the detailed picture reseal instructions from Jabber6 will give me the incentive to work on my 20 year old 953 that will get an oil lube today. As suggested, I知 going to email the CMP to see if they have any Monte Carlo stocks for sale. BTW, from what I read on the CMP site yesterday, it looks like you have to be a member of a CMP affiliated club to purchase used 853痴. I値l ask about that also and report back for anyone interested. Thanks to all. Dave B
