Did the dome valve fit as a direct replacement & if not what mods do you need to make to it for it to work? Any thoughts between Daisy rubber "O" rings & the Urethane/teflon replacement? Also do you know if you can order a Lothar Walther barrel (used in the 747), improve the accuracy? Thank you!

I've had mine since I was 14 (19 years since then). It's been leaking big time (I'd left it at my dad's and now my love for air pistols / rifles is back) and the rear sight is gone. I'm about to order the spares from Daisy. And yes, my safety spring and ball bearing flew away as well since I found your site "after" disassembling my 717 :)Technoshamanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00484191192703724172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2378835029459742413.post-4323784605146342010-09-23T08:08:43.199-07:002010-09-23T08:08:43.199-07:00Fill out the form here:

There was enough retention of compressed air to drive a pellet out immediately. But 5 seconds later it was gone. However, oiling fixed that. So I agree with derrick38 on the amount the assembly has to be forward. I wonder how plumbing Teflon tape would work instead of shims. Might not be permanent, though. Thanks again.

I don't know about the front seal but I can hear the air coming out the back seal as I close the lever. Different O rings don't help. I tried with the new valve and the old one and with and without the trigger assembly. Any ideas?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2378835029459742413.post-52845401046283480892010-05-29T12:10:29.088-07:002010-05-29T12:10:29.088-07:00Pumping the lever did not work as the piston seal ...Pumping the lever did not work as the piston seal had gone but I found a brass rod and gently tapped the barrel at the muzzle. After it moved about 1/4" it came free. I looked at the mating of the two surfaces - the piston and valve and at first they appeared flat, then I discovered a thin film, almost paperlike that may have been accumulated dried residue of oils. I remember one time, for storage purposes I used a Teflon oil so this might be what it is. I'll replace all the seals and anything else I can think of.<br />By the way there is a version of this pistol with a Walther bbl. still being sold.

Now the seal on the piston has gone and I have to take it apart to replace it.<br />I have a problem with getting the barrel separated from the air chamber. I can see the shaft attached to the front sight and this stops te piston from sliding out the front. But I can't get the back end off. I tried tapping the barrel backwards but it only moves slightly. Is there something else holding It?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
