Hey Nibs,Excellent tip on re-screwing back into plastic.👏🏻👏🏻👍🏼

[@greyfoxag]

I use steel bbs and have no issues

Musta got lucky or Berra upped thier game. My brand new, arrived yesterday 1/15/2023, gold 1886 has a heavy but excellent trigger. 2 stage, 1st stage long light and smooth, second stage heavy with a clean break and almost zero over travel.

I simply compressed that little trigger spring with pliers and heated it up....upon cooling down it loses its spring rate and little less than half original length. Works great.

[@phillipjones3502]

Well done. Nice instructional video. That looks like a fun plinker.

[@jamesparks8909]

Hey Nibs great video once again.Question 🤔.. Do you think i could just cut maybe 1 & 1/2 coils off the oem spring to help get the pull down a bit?

[@trophyhunter8615]

Enjoyed it sir

[@timmy4539]

Great info nib's ! 👍👍

Very nice! I need to pull my copy out of the box and give the trigger mod a go, thank you for the step by step! Last time I pulled it out I lost a darn pellet down the BB reservoir hole after I fumbled loading it 🙃. Luckily I was able to shake it out. I also need to paint the front sight as it's totally lost to me when I attempt to sight it!

Some of the guns use there springs to build extra powrr

[@chrislang5659]

Sweet! I see a trigger job in my near future!

Hi Nibs🙂👍. It looks like a fun plinker. Could you imagine if they used all steel and wood for this pumper😃.

[@WalnutandSteel]

It would be heavy

[@trevorjameson3213]

That's great, I'm going to do the same thing to mine. I haven't shot it much just because I prefer my 880, but watching your videos on this rifle makes me want to get it out and shoot it more. Also, I see that old Crosman 38T on your bench! I have one of those too, I bought it new back in '85 and still have it. I installed a seal kit in it about three years ago, which fixed the leaking, but now the valve isn't working right. Feels like the valve stem is sticking (spewing gas after a shot, and/or not fully opening (sticking). I wonder if new valves are even available for it?

Have you tried dust devils through the 1866 yet nibs?

[@WalnutandSteel]

Not yet

[@scotthanson4200]

will there be a head to head challenge between the 1866 vs daisy 880

[@timmy4539]

Scott the 1866 will win !

[@WalnutandSteel]

Seems inevitable!

[@scotthanson4200]

@@timmy4539 if both guns are used with open sights and both guns are rifle barrels and both guns are well oiled, and both guns with open sights are adjusted right before contest, i am certain the daisy 880 can go against any air rifle and win. both guns use same amount of pumps. let the games begin.

[@trevorjameson3213]

@@scotthanson4200 The 880 is super accurate, that's true, but I don't know man, the 1866 is quite accurate too. I'm still going to say the 880 would win.

[@WalnutandSteel]

I have done the challenge but I am not going to tell you who won! You’ll have to wait for the next video!😈
