More years ago than I like to think about I had a loaned Daisy 177. Even then it was no powerhouse.
Looking at Cobalt's success with rebuilding classic Double Bee gun power plants I was wondering.....
Can one rebuild a Daisy 177 Targeteer? At home on the kitchen table with hand tools? are seals and springs and such available to fit the 177?
I note a common issue with the 177 is that the grips sort of curl away from the bottom of the grip frame with time. I was wondering if maybe heating them with a heat gun, or boiling them in water, would allow them to be shaped like horn? Maybe made flexible enough to duck tape down in position and leave a week or ten days to see if the plastic sets all nice and flat?
Thoughts?
