bought a daisy model 95 for a project recently. i full disassembled the bb gun -- never having done this before. the gun was a damaged goods piece. the shot tube was sticking out the center of the barrel shroud. do not know what the barrel cover was -- a coke bottle metal cap or a poly. plastic -- it favored the poly plastic cap. the gun would cock and dry fire. when i removed the power spring assembly from the gun there were several bb behind the abutment -- to my surprise. how would the bb's get to the back side of the abutment and be lodged on the plastic air piston - air tube area?

Is this a 95 with the 1-piece steel trigger and round hole top loading port, or a 95b with the plastic trigger and square left-side loading port ? (reason I ask is that the 95b has a plastic muzzle cap rather than the steel “bottlecap” you would have on a 95).bought a daisy model 95 for a project recently. i full disassembled the bb gun -- never having done this before. the gun was a damaged goods piece. the shot tube was sticking out the center of the barrel shroud. do not know what the barrel cover was -- a coke bottle metal cap or a poly. plastic -- it favored the poly plastic cap. the gun would cock and dry fire. when i removed the power spring assembly from the gun there were several bb behind the abutment -- to my surprise. how would the bb's get to the back side of the abutment and be lodged on the plastic air piston - air tube area?
As to the bb’s in the compression chamber area…that’s a puzzle, It shouldn’t be possible, but I’ve seen two now that have had bb’s between the abutment washer and barrel seal (sloppy assembly, maybe ?)
it is a daisy 95 with the 1 piece trigger. the muzzle cap appeared to be plastic -- was missing when i purchased. how several bb's were found behind the abutment washer in the compression chamber is a mystery to me. i could not tell whether or not this gun had ever been disassembled before my purchase but would guess it had not. am going to use it doing an experiment on the $15.00 daisy on the airgun section of high road. several years ago i saw a couple places that "resealed" daisy bb guns -- one in Florida and one in Minnesota -- and sent 2 the be done. not really understanding at the time what was actually being done to these bb guns i was very unhappy with the results. did not appear either shot a bb any better than before shipping. in my conversation with the florida repair service he admitted he did not wash the "dirt" out of the guns he was repairing. called the minnesota service and he also did no clean up of the bb guns he was resealing. in the meantime i saw a tool sold to use to disassemble daisy bb guns and bought the tool. again what i received appears to useless. until i read thru the nearly 80 pages on the high road $15.00 daisys my attempts to service my old bb guns were a big disappointment. after reading the the nearly 80 pages a couple times i had bought this daisy 95 project and used two 1/8" welding rods with the flux removed to remove the internals in the bb gun. i guess i paid my tuition a few years ago on bb guns. the recent tear down experience was good and simple. only thing i see as kind of a road block is daisy appears to offer for sale very limited repair parts for bb guns today. did not know bb gun manuf. had been moved to china. in doing my recent reading on bb and air guns it appears there is more money to be made selling the world good affordable bb and air guns than the real thing. one model crosman sells has more than 15 million produced and sold just of that model. i never realized the manuf short cut the daisy company did in making and selling their product. while i disagree with some of their materials and building techniques they are building a product as cheap as possible to sell for a profit and it will be discarded in a fairly short time. crosman may build a more high end product but it cost more and will also be discarded ect. the high road 80 pages have enough information in print and available for the asking and viewing the short comings of a mass produced daisy bb gun can be upgraded to double the factory performance when sold. just shows how much the legal system has changed the bb gun product sold on the marked today.

Ok, 95 with 1-piece trigger (should also have round loading hole on top and spot-welded steel front sight).
Seals, as you probably already know, are the same as a model 25, and are still available from Daisy.
The original shot tube can be replaced with the spring-loaded type (also made for the 25, but will fit the 95, just a little long), I have several, and they are more accurate and faster than the original.
cobalt327 posted somewhere that after a thorough cleaning he seats the abutment seal with E6000 adhesive. I’ve done this to several and have never had a problem, I will add that I use a 3/4” dowel and a long bar clamp to apply LIGHT pressure and let it set up overnight.
When this stuff cures, it’s like the glue they use to put labels on cans & stuff…just don’t overdo it.
One possibility for the bb’s is they might have tried to use them as a spacer if they put the stake marks in the wrong place, to keep from tearing up the plunger head (if so, it didn’t work). But for sure, they are either there intentionally, or as a result of sloppy assembly…there is no other way for this to happen.
Anyway, best of luck with yours ! These old wide-body models are a lot of fun, and there are a lot of mods and hacks you can do to improve fit and performance, from power and accuracy, to trigger and lever function, sights, and you-name-it, everything else !
Have fun and be safe !
