The pistol.
The loading port, you can see the BBs being picked up by the bolt here. On the earlier model you could also insert a pellet but the casting was changed to prevent that.
4 screws, 3 of which are identical.
The halves separated.
The sear was heavily crusted with dried grease. Note the spring.
The bolt. The tip is a magnet.
The cocking lever slips off of the post and the wire rod.
That wire rod opens the bolt when the pistol is cocked.
The sear and trigger.
The wire rod.
The compression tube, spring and lever can be removed as a unit. It's under a bit of tension inside the pistol even uncocked.
The piston slides out of the tube.
The end of the compression tube is injection molded plastic and also has the transfer port seal.
The piston seal. Pretty much conventional parachute type seal.
More to come...
Dude, I could use some help. I took my 188 apart, but I have a spring that jumped out, and now I don't know where it went inside the gun. I know there is a spring inside the bolt mechanism, and that there is a spring inside the safety, but I have another spring that is a little bit larger than the safety spring left.
ReplyDeleteIt goes under the tip of barrel 2 hold the cocking lever in place
DeleteDon't know? Could be the trigger spring?

I have an older daisy 188 which shoots pellets or BBs. can something be done to make the compression stronger. i mean when i cock my daisy 188 and insert the bb or pellet it will go but the compression is not as strong as it should be. is there something i can do such as replace the o rings to make compression stronger on this gun. mine is the older version and shoots pellets or BBs. does anyone know how i can do this or what needs to be changed to make the gun shoot further like it did when it was new.. any help would be appreciated..Please advise
ReplyDeleteI don't know if you can get a replacement seal for it, you can try:

Have the same problem that Fred
ReplyDeletehad on 29 April 2010. I have no
clue where that little spring goes.
I think it may be used to keep
tension on the cocking lever.
Help please.

with the tension on the cocking
lever. Some help please!
The larger spring is indeed the spring that goes by the cocking lever. I was confused as to where the second smaller spring with the ball on the end went. You helped me so this is the least I could do. Cheers!

ReplyDeletei need a bolt and the little door that gos on the side were the bbs go do you know were i can get one?
ReplyDeleteim having the same problem as bill. Opened up the 188 and a small spring fell out. I would appreciate if some one can explain to me where it goes.
ReplyDeleteThanks
hopefully you found what it was for , if it's real small could be the safety spring , or the spring that's for the pump lever
ReplyDeleteHey guys, the spring is simply akeeper that goes between the barrel housing just under the cocking front screw.It just sits in the set between both halves and gives a little click when the
ReplyDeleteleaver closes
Thanks YoyoDriver. Now if I can
ReplyDeletefind the spring and the time to
fiddle with it!!!!
Bill
Could someone please tell me where I might could find the little sliding door, where you insert the BB's on a Daisy Model 188? Any info you may have would be GREATLY APPRECIATED. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI have a 188 Model B.B gun. Am looking for a cocking lever. I live in South Africa. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thank you and Regards.

I have a model 188 which wasnt firing and i took it apart to find out what was wrong with it. Now, the cocking handle will not work properly, am i missing a spring?
ReplyDeleteI found one of these for a couple bucks at a yard sale, problem is (after learning how to take apart and put together) that it's missing the magnetic firing pin... Am I shit outta luck? Anyone know how to get a new one?
ReplyDeletedoes anyone know how to put the safety springs and all that back together? i could really use the help...
ReplyDeleteDude I have this small little plastic thing that's black and shaped like a mushroom almost. It fell out and now I don't know where to place it
ReplyDeleteI actually have two of those tiny black mushroom pieces that also fell out when I just took the gun apart. It looks like they might fit in the end of a spring(s)?
ReplyDeleteI know this is over a year old, but if anyone else needs help...
ReplyDeleteThe two plastic "mushroom" shaped pieces fit in the end of the smaller springs. One holds the safely button in place (not shown in pic), and the other keeps tension on the bolt when side cover is in place. However, I notice the pic here shows a bearing on the end of the bolt spring, but in my case it's platinic. I think this may be a difference between the pellet/BB and BB only version.
I ended up here to figure out where the larger spring goes. Now I know... Thank!
