Daisy model 177 target special BB gun 1956-1978

[@donhamm8740]

I have one along with holster and matching pump rifle but mine also have extra screw in barrels to shoot round ball corks. Nice to see others still enjoy to prizes of their youth.

[@nobodyshome758]

Love it! These older guns are just fun! 😎

[@dennisbartenbach]

Thanks for the loading tips...

[@RestOModDaisy]

Nibs, Just got one of these little jewels in the mail. What a hoot! Yet another Parlor Plinker joins the remuda.

[@WalnutandSteel]

Sweet can’t wait to see your video on it!

[@billdye3530]

Nice little pistol in good shape to be half a century old.Had to laugh when you talked about the BBs bouncing back. I picked up an Umarex Brodax BB Co2 revolver a couple of weeks ago & of course on first cartridge wasn't sure how many good shots I would get before power started declining. After about 50 the BBs started bouncing back. Large front sight but accurate once you get it dialed in & fun to shoot. Don't have to spend a fortune to enjoy shooting air guns. Good video.

[@WalnutandSteel]

Thanks Bill

I have one of those. I’m an old guy. Was a little kid in the 1950’s. My much older brother had one of those. As I grew up and began to shoot BB guns, the pistol was passed down to me. It saw an enormous amount of abuse. I have been an off and on air gun shooter and recently ran across the 177 in a box of my old childhood stuff. I have decided to try and rebuild it. The rear sight is missing. It has a nail in place of the pin in the rear of the slide. It has another nail in place of the pin above the trigger. And the plastic grip on the right side is warped. But all the parts, except for the pins, are there. I need to figure out where to get a rear sight, the pins and seals and see if I can get it back to working.

Just found one cleaning out the garage ..it still works and had a CO2 cartridge with the box ..that with a plainsman 175

[@WalnutandSteel]

The co2 must be for the plainsman

[@chriskaile8556]

Yeah just watched ur other video and noticed that ..thanks

[@chriskaile8556]

Definitely see what u mean about the handle spreading ..I took it off and gonna heat it to bend it back to its original form

[@TylerSnyder305]

You sure got a nice example there. These are pretty common here in the US at least, but condition is always the issue. Most often the grips are badly warped when I see them for sale. They're common on Ebay, but often priced much higher than they should be for what they are and the 20+ year production run.

Kinda looks like my SW 421 I love all Parlour firearms 👍🇺🇸👍

Beautiful gun

[@paulroberts971]

Cool beans!

[@trophyhunter8615]

Enjoyed it sir

[@georgecarafos7320]

Thanks for the nice video. How do you load the bb's? I got one of the guns from a relative, bo manual, no instruction from him or a manual.

[@WalnutandSteel]

Spin the muzzle a 1/4 turn and load the bb’s in the port under the barrel

[@lt.m3m383]

I had one but it was tragically destroyed In a fire, I do still have the metal remains

[@James-ke5sx]

Real nice. Here in Canada D&L Airguns has about 15 of these for sale by Crossman. I'll put a link in the comments in case you want to look.

[@WalnutandSteel]

I didn’t know Crosman made a version

[@James-ke5sx]

@@WalnutandSteel Oh oh. Now you're in trouble, ha. They had a Crosman Challenger CH2000 CO2 version which I have wanted for years but could never find one in Canada. I just saw it yesterday and bought it today. I like your type of airguns not PCP. It is ironic that the first airguns ever made and used by Lewis and Clark were PCP'S and how we came back to the original design. Take care.

[@stevegimenez9981]

I have one just like that I bought it over 50 years ago does it take the regular Daisy sales

[@WalnutandSteel]

Not sure about the seals

[@TheWalkWithAl]

Nice I picked up a marksman 177 cal BB pistol made in the USA would you happen to know what year it was made or would you need to see it good video do it

[@WalnutandSteel]

Not sure on that one. I don’t have one of those yet

[@koreamario]

Can you tell me which abutment seal will fit it?

[@WalnutandSteel]

I am not sure sorry

[@feraltweed]

I was wondering if you could help me out a bit. I would like to build an all wood BB gun like the first daisy but I can find nothing more than a brief mention of it on utube. Can you or one of your viewers point me in a good direction for information. I would be great full. Thanks

[@WalnutandSteel]

Not familiar with the model you are referring to

[@mrradman2986]

I have one of these I acquired with a leather holster but I don't know what ammo it is supposed to shoot. Is it regular BBs or small calibre plastic airsoft ammo?

[@WalnutandSteel]

If its a model 177 then it uses standard bb’s

[@mrradman2986]

@@WalnutandSteel I have some lightweight plastic 4.5mm BBs from ASG which might work OK. You have inspired me to take a look at it.

[@karenpopp18]

I really enjoyed your video. I have my dad's Daisy 177! I have great memories of him using his empty Tiparillo cigar boxes for his target. It would be dangling from the ceiling in his workshop. Unfortunately, it does not shoot anymore. Do you repair them? Thank you, Karen

[@WalnutandSteel]

I did fix mine but I don’t have any way to get parts so probably would not be able to. Thanks for watching!

[@karenpopp18]

@@WalnutandSteel Do you by any chance have an exploded diagram of this Daisy?

[@WalnutandSteel]

I sure don’t, you can try to contact Shane Bruce at restomoddaisy channel. He may have some ideas for you

[@CorneliusFeit]

Thanks for the video. Just got one . How do you load and oil it? The barrel comes out( how?

[@WalnutandSteel]

There is a loading port on the bottom of the muzzle. Rotate the barrel to open the port. To oil it I put a drop or two of oil down the barrel to oil it

[@Everyday.Antiques]

Hey I have a few awesome old BB guns 3 Benjamin franklins one in original box and two that need some work and also a lever action daisy if I’m not mistaken that taken apart that needs some work. I’m a antique collector/dealer and just picked up a clean one of these target specials for the collection. My question is would you be interested in repairing maybe the lever action. I have more stuff than money per usual but was just curious. Thanks.

[@WalnutandSteel]

Please send me an email, my adress is down in the description

[@larrywilliams5619]

Nice video, but how are the bb's loaded?

[@WalnutandSteel]

Twist the barrel a 1/4 turn to open the loading port

[@jrosalia]

I have my grandfather's pistol. the rear site is a little different though.

[@terrybest8973]

I don't recommend putting a half a 327 spring in them though it's very hard to cock it but and it only makes them about like a stock red Ryder prolly a little slower but it's fun anyway lol

[@terrybest8973]

I think I told you wrong I think my wife's is a jc higins or higgins not a hawthorn but is a 799 in 177 caliber

[@gunnwild1]

If it's indoor safe I wonder is it will break a glass window

[@WalnutandSteel]

I’ll bring it to your house to try out!😂

[@terrybest8973]

Cut you a 7/64 air tube in it will make it pretty fast I did but you got to cut some off the air tube plus I put a part of a 327 hp spring in mine but it just made it hard to cock it I believe it's faster now I just got the over bored air tube and regular daisy red Ryder half spring in it now and it shoots the best now it ever shot pretty fast to

[@kevanhubbard9673]

I think that that one was the weakest one they did?I had a black revolver lookalike,sort of Peacemaker type thing, and it wasn't even an air pistol it used a spring to fling the BB's out but it's velocity was higher than yours!I saw the one you have in Daisy's information leaflet and those low velocities are roughly as I recall what was advertised.

[@terrybest8973]

Hey that one is exactly like mine I put a half a 327 spring and 7/64 air tube in it my wife has the 118: model and a 799 hawhtorn model in 177 the 118 shoots tiny bbs though mine is a 177 to but it's a little meaner

[@terrybest8973]

You got to shorten the tube to I just cut it same as the factory tube works great but you will look like lou friggno in a year of cocking it lol you know incredible hulk like that just shooting a bb pistol 😂😆

[@Vexulus]

I have one if anyone wants it rather give it away than throw it away
