In hind sight, I should have had my son take it back to his Walmart in Anaheim and get his money back or a different gun. But, I did not. So, someone tell me how to open this thing up and fix it. This is why we need a Daisy Gate. I can teach you how to referb the Crosman pumper pistols, but, I just do not know about the rifles.
They said the same thing about river 10\22s,mosin nagants,and 1377's just saying

agreed we do need a Daisy gate.

See if this link helps you any.

stonykill, Thanks for the links. I looked at them both. The Daisy talk showed the exhaust valve and guess what? That is the same valve that was in the early Daisy 717 722 747 and the 777. I just repaired my 722, got my parts from Daisy. But, the old style nylon end on the exhaust valve is kinda cone shaped. The replacement one Daisy sells is round. I had to take fine lapping compound and use the new valve to lap the seat in to get to seal. I'm working on a Crosman 1300 right now, waiting for parts. Then I just might dig my old 880 out and try to get to work again. I also have a Daisy 922 I would like to get working again. Thanks for the help. QUACK,QUACK!!

Glad I was able to help. I have an old Daisy model 92 pistol I need to dig into one of these days.

On a separate thought that was brought up earlier. This summer I may just make some wood stocks for the lower priced Daisy's in my wood shop. At least for mine. I don't really know there is a market for a wood stock and fore stock(s) costing more than the gun does.

Pretty sure the said the same about upgrading Ruger 10/22's, Mosin Nagants,and 13xx's ..just saying could start a new fad.

Oh wow, look at the time - time for a Daisy Gate bumpity bump bump

Put some lead through the Powerline 856 tonight - still can't believe how accurate it is.

my 856 as well. Is yours the pellet only like mine? Certainly makes it simple to load.

Hey Tom, it's the dual ammo model. I have let my 10 year old shoot BB's with it but I'm thinking of keeping it a pellet only gun due to it's high level of accuracy. I bought it new in the box on "Clearance" at Walmart for a paltry 15 dollars. I can post a pic to prove it as I save all original packaging for my air guns

Bumpity bump time. Threads are getting buried and many threads are being moved!!

Here is my Daisy 1200 - old, but mint condition. FUN

lillysdad621 · « **Reply #105 on:** February 20, 2014, 07:46:55 PM »

I love that 1200!!!! is the coolest looking BB pistol ever... I dont know how long are the mods going to ignore this thread, but eventually is going to get so long as to slow down the internet... Maybe we should throw the word Daisy at the end of every post we make no matter what the gate is from... like this:

I just got my B2500 from Soaring Drake Pressurised weapons.... it shoots great! Daisy.

what do you think? Daisy.

mudduck48 · « **Reply #106 on:** February 20, 2014, 09:33:11 PM »

Well, why worry about it? "They" are in to PCP guns. We have a Daisy post going now, so LET'S keep it going. I have 3 of the Daisy 1200 pistols. 2 new in the box and one I have to rebuild. Daisy was good, Daisy is good.

lillysdad621 · « **Reply #107 on:** February 20, 2014, 10:08:34 PM »

very much so... went to my local gun shop... 2 old metal receiver/metal handle 880 for sale... 35 a piece... pretty soon i am going to have to get a gun case for them... Daisy.

Bump. I love my Daisy Avanti 853 to 753 convert. Trigger mod, custom adjustable buttpad, sight risers, refinished stock. Just for backyard 10m.

Good Heavens - how did you find three 1200s? They are like hens teeth on the various classifieds and on Gun Broker. Our gun shop here in town has a national clientele, sells lots of airguns and has never heard of the 1200.

bumpity-bump:

so there was this guy. he just finished being part of a team developing a certain Remington pump-action shotgun. he had a dream of a better way to make a bb gun. he went on a trip to work 6-months in the r&d department 100 years ago. his bb gun has been in production for more than 85 of those 100 years, including currently. the original under-lever, trombone-action, take-down, carbine, 50-rd. spring-loaded repeater,.

the guy: Charles Lefever
the gun: daisy model 25 (225)

I bought them new at K-mart. Look at the picture, left side, there they are. 2 brand new and one needs seals.

what is that little break barrel next to the 880?

do you want to sell it?

? Daisy.

What a collection! My wife would be saying "When are you going to clean up that mess" LOL.

Re: The 853 to 753. Nice looking rifle! I assume that would produce around 500 fps. Is it useful at all for targets beyond 10M?

lillysdad621 · « **Reply #114 on:** February 21, 2014, 07:36:59 AM »

I used a x93 rifle to hit 9mm casings at 35 yards... and have gonne as far as 55 yards on a ping pong ball... daisy.

I have a question for someone with technical knowledge. My daisy 880 doesn't start building compression until I've pumped it 5 - 6 times. Any idea what sort of fix might be needed? This 880 is only 2 years old, but very accurate and with a smooth action. I'd like to repair it.

how often do you oil it and what are you using for oil?

Alanheal · « **Reply #117 on:** February 22, 2014, 12:41:55 PM »

I used 30wt non-detergent motor oil. A drop or two every 500-700 shots, or as needed.

That is my BSF junior I received back when I was about 10. Sorry, it is not for sale.
