Daisy 881 Disassembly Part 2

On I go…

IMG_7858

Just a picture for later…

IMG_7860IMG_7862IMG_7863

Some lever details.

IMG_7866

BB port cover.

IMG_7867IMG_7870

Getting the bolt out was confusing, it’s in two parts, one of which enters from the outside of the slot.

IMG_7872IMG_7873

Just a little dirty…

IMG_7874

The barrel shroud slides off.

IMG_7876

Barrel is held in place by a clamp.

IMG_7880IMG_7881

Urethane transfer port seal – which I think is well designed actually.

IMG_7884

One pin to remove the trigger/exhaust valve assembly

IMG_7885IMG_7887

The compression tube is filthy.

IMG_7888

Inlet valve. The cup seal is hard to find – let me know where to get one for what it should cost (a buck or two) if you know.

IMG_7892IMG_7894

The trigger pin is only meant to come out one way – and of course I pushed it out the wrong way.

IMG_7895

Notice the broken butt stock piece.

IMG_7897IMG_7899

Trigger group.

IMG_7900IMG_7901

Exhaust valve looks very similar/identical to those used on the 717 series pistols.

IMG_7912

All the parts…

IMG_7937

I took apart the pump piston, I don’t know what the broken bits are – plastic? fiber? Looks like one from a donor gun will fit tthough.

IMG_7940

I don’t think those pieces sticking out the side are anything but uncut sprue…

IMG_7943

Donor butt stock looks mostly the same.

IMG_7946

Now we’ll see if I can get it to work. It may be that the cleaning and o-ring replacement is all it needs, at least I hope so.

Daisy 881 Disassembly Part 1

It’s no secret that Derrick and I are not Daisy fanboys and although I have several of the 800 series rifles I haven’t felt the urge to do a post about them. But my neighbor uses one for garden pest control and it stopped holding air so I had to take it apart and see if I could fix it. Seal kits are ridiculously expensive and Daisy offers no parts for the older recalled models AFAIK. So we’ll see if I can get it running with what I have on hand. IMG_7808It looks good, but as you get into it you see some big differences between it and the luxury of a Sheridan…or some of Crosman’s better offerings.IMG_7813IMG_7815IMG_7817

So no point in taking off the butt plate.

IMG_7820IMG_7822Or the grip cap either.

IMG_7825IMG_7826

It does have a metal receiver…

IMG_7828

Screws removed and it sort of wiggles free.

IMG_7830IMG_7832IMG_7833

The butt stock is broken, will scavenge one from a donor…

IMG_7834IMG_7835

Safety and spring.

IMG_7838IMG_7842

The fore stock is held by one screw and a sliding catch.

IMG_7843IMG_7845IMG_7848

Push a pin out and the pump assembly comes free, which is nice.

IMG_7849IMG_7852

Piston assembly.

IMG_7853IMG_7854

Man that is nasty…I’m amazed it would pump at all.

IMG_7857

More to come…
