A forgotten and found Daisy! That uses a small seal set for the Model 25 pump gun. Easily available over at Mark Ritters Cobalt 327 store on Ebay.

The Daisy Model 25 is alive and kickin', you can find them at Wally World or online. They start around $52 on up.

@@RestOModDaisy THANK YOU HAPPY NEW YEAR .

Have you ever tried to Tig or mig the cocking lever where it is worn down? Build it up and reshape? I have done it with outboard motor props, aluminum rims and holes in most any kind of aluminum.

@@robertchase-rr7qc I've seen vids on that but do not have welding equipment or very much experience with them. I've seen other guys video's where they drill and tap a small hole in the nub and install a screw to take up the slack and might give that a go.

@@RestOModDaisy of the screw does not work maybe look at some weld shops or a friends that may have equipment and experience. Good luck maybe a screw try could be a video?

Thanks Sarge! It's a real shock when shoot it, can't see the BB for kentucky windage/elevation adjustments.

Thanks Sarge! And also to you and yours! I concur, 2025 is gonna be great!

Thanks Sarge! Terry Cowger was the first guy to cut a Model 25 shot tube up, Nibs over at Walnut&Steel did a Bobcat for a #103 I think and Rex did one for his Mares Leg over at the High Road. It's a mod worth doing if you have any of the 101's, 102's etc and can't find a OEM shot tube. Those little guns are screamers!

I cut from the base section because I wanted to use the force feed. Terry's done the same from the other end to add the loading port to the muzzle so you don't have to dismount the tube to reload. I think geezers like us appreciate a break from cycling the gun in oder to comment on other shooters marksmanship or lack thereof.

@RestOModDaisy Hahaha. When I cut from the other end, I recut the notch for the follower and shorten the spring. Either way, I'm glad to have a Dremel!

@@daisylevergunfun4786 I didn't shorten the spring, what's the mag cap with the spring shortened?

@@RestOModDaisy That depends on how short the mag is. Less spring takes up less space. BTW, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Thanks for putting up your vid on chopping the shot tube, it was fiddly bits but you were dead on about the time element. I was truly amazed by the speed increase.

@@RestOModDaisy Thanks to Nibs, indeed. I used that same tutorial for my 102.

@@Woodsman160 Dude knows what he's up to.

It's a legacy piece, the customers brother-in-law is one who wore out the lever. How many rounds did that take?

Congrats on hanging on to that Legacy Daisy. They are the best!

@ Also have a 1894 that looks about 90%, rebuilt it, shoots well. How about a Sheridan Silver Streak in .20/5mm ( excellent as well ) and a couple of Bucks. Great channel !!!

@@claygood2844 Thanks! It's good to have lots of airguns.

Depends on the gun. I work on mostly small frame Daisy's and some of the wide bodies. I don't work on the Model 25's or the Model 1894's.

My pleasure!

And also to you and yours!

Thanks Sarge!

Congrats on your legacy Daisy! Daisy's never wear out, they just need some simple replacement part to resume service. This little puppy wound up running at 354 FPS after a clean up, new mainspring and air tube combo, a new compression cup and a bobcat Model 25 shot tube. Micro Super Thumper!

Welcome aboard! I've never worked on a 499, just plenty of other wide body Daisy's and my beloved small frames.

@@RestOModDaisy I head up the Youth Shooting Education Program here in the Texas Hill Country. We shoot the 499B in competition. We have been to the Daisy National BB Gun Championship Match 5 times over the past 20 years that I have been involved. I have a few older model Red Rider's that I am slowly working on...Always needing parts !

@@gordondowdy833 Kudos to you sir! Your teams sound like a lively sharp eyed group of young folk. I've never been to the Daisy Nationals but have reviewed the meger coverage of the event that is eratically available. I do like the custom look some of the guns have on them. What kind of parts are you looking for?

Can't wait to see it.

Thanks!

Thanks!

I suspect something similar might happen with this particular specimen. When I did the first innards swap experiment with the power triad option this little guy was hitting at 348 FPS. Too bad the current Model 25 shot tube sticks out so far. Bobcat 25 might be in the future.

Concur!

Thanks! I think this one will be a real gem.

Very close. I misspoke about the abutment seal. The abutment washer is infact steel and secured to the compression clyinder with the two tabs. The abutment seal is in front of that to prevent air loss during the firing cycle as well as cushion some shock, it's main purpose is to seal the compression chamber. When you replace the seal set, you're installing a compression cup on the plunger assembly and the abutment seal on the face of the abutment washer.

@ thanks. Those are the parts I will be trying to buy as my Model 94 needs the work. It has almost zero compression. Still trying to figure out exactly what to buy and where to get them.

@@dandypoint MarK Ritter over at the Cobalt327 store on Ebay has it all. I source parts from him.

@@RestOModDaisy thanks!

@ I can’t find any parts under Cobalt327. I did see a spring come up on one search. Sold out. Think I found his store ( said shipping might be delayed due to being gone till end of December, but when I tried to see all listings there were none. Maybe I am not searching right. I will keep trying.

Is that this years model?

I'm thinking 50,000 rounds of non-maintained wear. The lever mount was slightly twisted to the left which I'm thinking reps a right handed shooter constantly in a hurry.

Thanks!

Yep, That's a pretty rare Daisy, the model number escapes me as I've only seen a couple of pix for it, never seen one i the flesh.

@RestOModDaisy my Dad bought mine in 1972 at a western auto store in Roseburg Oregon. I haven't seen it since 1977. No idea where it went, never seen another

@@paulberkland5700 Daisy's do have a habit of sailing off into the sunset leaving memories in thier wake.

@RestOModDaisy i don't know if it was rifled or smooth bore, but it was WAY more accurate than my friends red ryder bb model

@@paulberkland5700 Your post about the Daisy lever action BB gun that shot pellets with a 5 round clip intrigued me. I know I've seen that little beast talked about, but as I said before that's one Daisy I've never seen in person. I started lookiing in the usual nooks and crannies and found one that pretty solidy documented over at the Baker Airguns site. The fine folks at Baker have a pretty complete description of it and a valuation of whatthey sold it for, see here: www.bakerairguns.com/product/daisy-450-177-caliber-pellet-rifle/ For more info head over to the DaisyTalk forum and get the deets. BTW, it had a RIFLED brass barrel and was only built 1972-1973. Talk about a limited run! forum.daisymuseum.com/daisy-model-400-featherweight-pellet-gun_topic8029.html

Sure! Send me an email at "thesocietyforprofit@gmail.com" and we'll see what can be done.

Shane, are we related? Last name wouldn't be Bruce would it? I see you have a gunshop? Any experience in importing parts from the US of A? We should talk because I can get lots of parts, NOS, used, as well totally custom work. Zap an email to me at "thesocietyforprofit@gmail.com" and lets find out.

Right back at cha! Happy New Year!

Del, Sure! It'll work wonders for Sears 799.19011 Black Bear/Daisy Model 75. Because the model Daisy you have uses the shorter airtube you won't be able to sub in a current production Model 25 shot tube but the cobalt spring swap and the ovebore airtube upgrade will work just fine. You can get them both from Mark Ritter over at his Cobalt 327 Ebay store www.ebay.com/sch/cobalt327/m.html?_trkparms=folent%3Acobalt327%7Cfolenttp%3A1&_trksid=p3542580.m47492.l71970

@ thank you so much for the info and putting me in the right direction .

@@inthebackyardwithdel438 No problem, have fun!

Thanks for watching!

@ yes sir , you are my go to channel for redoing my daisy . You have awesome videos . 👍🏻🇺🇸

@@inthebackyardwithdel438 The intent is to get every rusty Leagacy Daisy hiding in Grandma's closet back out in the field doing what they were designed to do. I can't possibly mod them all, there's an estimated 9 million Red Ryders out there alone. That means that you guys will have to do most of the work and make sure that the memories you have of your time with those gems of your youth get replicated by your kids and most importantly, your grandkids. That's why the video library is there, to give ya'll a blue print on how to make that happen.

I wonder how many times you have to cycle a 102 to wear off that much aluminum.

@RestOModDaisy without lube. Aluminum vs steel, steel wins!

@@daisylevergunfun4786 Does spit count? Asking for a friend.

@@RestOModDaisy Better than nuttin.

Lots of boys did.

They are pretty handy for Carpenter Bees too!

Daisy register #'s are pretty mysterious. In your case, the plymouth roll stamp and the fact you got the gun in 1957 definitely put's it in the Plymouth era. Head over to the serial number info page at J&G and prepare to get confused www.jgairguns.biz/daisy-register-lot-and-serial-numbers-explained-ezp-55.html

@@RestOModDaisy yes! At least I know about when I got mine new. I actually had two of them. My first one quit working and a year or two later I got the one I have now. It has never missed a beat! I got my son a model 111 B in the 80s. No fore stock and no serial numbers. Plastic stock. No fore arm. No fake magazine tube under the barrel. Otherwise very similar to my Model 94. Its plastic stock is holding up good so far, but it’s not quite 40 years old yet. Still a great shooter and looks nice except for a few scratches. No rust at all! I just ordered a Model 25 today to take the load of the old ones. May make a wood stock for the old one.

@@dandypoint Is the one that quit working hiding out in a closet or long gone?

@ long gone. It was also in the days of Steve McQueen and the program Wanted Dead or Alive. So sometime after 58, maybe 1960 I took a hack saw to it and made a Josh Randle looking gun out of it. Now that I think about it the short air tube must have been the problem as it was not in the gun when I cut it down. I could fire it single shot by sticking the bb in the hole in the cylinder.

@@dandypoint Ok, So where's the Mare's Leg you made.

Back at 'cha Sarge!

Thanks Sarge! I should have that project done pretty soon, only thing left is fire bluing and assembly. Then we'll see how it shoots!

Thanks! I'm going to be adding other cutaway model to to the video catalog this year.

Sounds interesting. You can get in touch with me via email at "thesocietyforprofit@gmail.com"

Del, Congrats onj recovering your leagacy Daisy. Sears contracted with Daisy to build some of thier "store" brands. If your Sears "Bear" gun has a stenciled Bear on both sides of the reciever and does not have a magazine tube under the barrel then it's most likley a Daisy built in Rodgers AR post 1958. All of your internal parts are readily available from several different sources, NOS replacment parts like stocks are hard to come by in good condition. Does it shoot? Your reg # indicates a build date of September of 1977.
