Buck Jones shot tube

(1/2) > >>

Iowa airguner:
I have had an old Daisy model 107 1934 Buck Jones for over fifty years. I do remember shooting the neighbor with it and leaving a red mark on his chest. He jumped out with a knife and scared me.
Anyhow the front shot tube and barrel have been missing for ever and I am looking to find enough parts to repair it.

There is one page online but the part is not available. I did register if one shows up. Also imagine it needs seals.

Does anyone know where I can get parts for one.  And if other model parts would substitute?.

Want to restore function without changing the looks.

OTmachine:
Looks like a model 25 may be close.

I just watched a video on restoration of a 107.  From the looks of it I might find the parts and will keep looking. But I’m out.

I just want to make it work. And it looks a bit like a thing I might take apart and not get back together. It’s not the work. I’m a mechanic and hobbyist watchmaker. It’s the parts availability. I don’t want to buy a lathe and mill to fix a BB gun.

Iowa airguner:
I might have a lead on a parts gun. The shot tube is there and it looks pretty beat otherwise. My stock is in great shape so I think I can put it all together if I can swing it.
Plus practice taking the doner apart will be a big help. This was my first BB gun so I am interested in fixing it now.

Over the weekend I decided to take apart my gun and see what I might need besides the missing shot tube. To my surprise the inside of the gun is pretty good with just a bent tab on one of the piston sliding parts.
Everything looked pretty good. So first I cleaned up the seal and repaired the bent part and reassembled it. That got it cocking and going pop when I pull the trigger.
Saturday was an ice storm so I spent the day cleaning everything with acetone and brass brushes and plastic tube brushes.

After removing all the dirt and gunk I polished and blued all the internal parts. I left the outside pretty much alone but just reapplied the cold blue without polishing anything outside. So it is just dark black.

I cleaned up the sheet and straightened all the little bits and reassembled it. Now it cocks and fires with a nice pop and even a recoil. I have felt worse triggers. But hey it is 90 years old. I cant believe the condition of the seal.
