My next project will be to freshen up my Daisy 1938b 40th Anniversary model. It is shooting a little weak. I plan to install a new plunger, more powerful spring and larger diameter air tube. To prepare, I have watched Restomod Daisy’s channel. I need to craft a tool to compress the spring while I remove the metal post that butts up against the spring/plunger assembly.
I was going to cut a block of wood to fit nicely in the hand and glue in two lengths of welding rod.
My questions are:
How long should the rods be to properly engage the spring?
What diameter of rod works best?
How far apart should the rods be spaced?
I appreciate the knowledge on this forum and any advice is appreciated.
Also I have Pellgun oil on hand. Should I use that to lube the plunger seal and wiper or is 20 or 30wt non detergent oil best?
