Title: Daisy 188 Metal with manual and Box
Post by: dpricenator on December 08, 2011, 06:54:05 PM

So I found a buddy who has onr of these.  And says it does not even dent a soda can.  Can the springs be replaced in these. 

Also is it worth anything?

Don't know if it's worth anything, but it would probably be something that you could find some examples of on Gun broker.
Here's a couple of links regarding the 188 that may help a little bit. It sounds to me like a pretty neat little gun.

It it's in decent condition, and you can get it for a decent price, I would buy it just because it was made from 1979-1989, and is no longer in production, then I'd hold onto it. :)
