Umarex DX17 Air Pistol, Tear Down and Reassembly

[@MadHatch]

Thank you so much man, I've had mine laying around disassembled for a month now. The springs flew out and I lost one part. I got mine back together thanks to you!

[@rustbeltairgun8718]

Glad I could help!

[@gtcjay6030]

Why is it in 360p i can't see the details

[@rustbeltairgun8718]

Because I am still learning on how to do closeup videos.

[@laszlokaloczkai1927]

Köszönöm a videót.Nagy nehezen sikerült össze raknom a videó segítségével.De legalább 10X szét szedtem mire össze jött. Ha egy mód van rá többet szét nem szedem.:)

[@shaneschannel2081]

Hi have you got any closer pictures on trigger spring where they go please shane UK 😮

[@freedombeatem]

I have this and am having issues… I can only shoot pellets if I push the pellet with the little pellet tool otherwise it doesn’t shoot where as every video I seen people do it with there thumb and it shoots fine

[@VonNeofolk999]

Good gun for Kids. Thx for the Vid, lovely greetings from Germany.

[@rustbeltairgun8718]

Thanks for watching :-)

[@ATeaNTea]

Thanks for this video And that instrumental beat was so fresh I was feeling it

[@rustbeltairgun8718]

I was a big fan of 90's House Music and Acid House. You would never think that looking at me now.

My DX-17 should arrive today and I like to teardown any new air gun, clean, maybe de-burr and re-lubricate it with silicone oil and grease depending on the mechanics and also oil any steel that is not near O-rings or air chambers with Hoppes. But honestly the re-assembly of the DX-17 looks like quite a fidgety effort so I might need to build up the courage and watch this a few times before I decide to attempt this. Maybe just for the challenge of it, eh? At least then you know your air guns are in top shape and lubed properly .. whether a cheap or an expensive one.

[@rustbeltairgun8718]

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I tore down my DX17 purely for the making of this video and would not do so otherwise.

[@maxhauler]

@@rustbeltairgun8718 I've had mine a week or so now and put metal and plastic bbs through it. I'm fond of it now. It's nice to have something low power you can shoot in the house with no worries. It has nice weight balance and solidness to it. Nice size. Nice sights. Fun to cock it and shoot it. Well built. The slide is really nice aluminum. A very unique little air pistol and very very good value for the $27 I paid. I'm unlikely to tear it down. I've got a number of other air projectile devices that need work, mods and accessories to keep me busy. If you have guests over and like to plink, the DX-17 might be a good one to have a pair of. Nice cheap ones like this I usually get two of. Cheers.

[@rustbeltairgun8718]

Glad that the plastic BBs worked! I believe the manual only specifies Steel BBs and Pellets.

[@maxhauler]

@@rustbeltairgun8718 The plastic BBs do not work as well as the metal ones because a small magnet helps to pull and hold the BB in place. With the plastic BBs, you need to shake/angle the DX-17 a bit more to get the BB into place. The plastic BBs move around slightly in the breech, but do not fall out of the barrel. Maybe 1 out of 10 you think you have one in the breech and there was none. And also the plastic BBs can actually dent your walls slightly since they do accellerate to going pretty fast and are dense enough to carry some energy. But the ASG plastic .177 BBs are definitly a fun option to use indoors sometimes. I enjoy having a variety of projectiles to experiment with.

Can you please recreate this video with better quality im not trying to be rude but I need this video I can see correctly please and thank you.

[@Williamthehedonist]

Greetings John, as I said in the Marksman G10 tear down comments; i’m really enjoying your channel. Later this week I am purchasing either, the G1018….. or the Umarex DX17….. they’re currently a very similar price due to black Friday offers…. in your opinion would you say they’re both good …. or is one better than the other??…. many thanks

[@iSimplist]

Great video , and a quick question. can i use something like motor oil , engine oil , for the rail rod?

[@rustbeltairgun8718]

Pell Gun Oil is specifically designed for air gun use. Other oils of different viscosities may cause issues or damage your air gun. Besides, Pell Gun Oil is cheap: $4

[@quintonarmitage3413]

How did you get the springs to stay compressed? Fine just shoots out the other end when I’m trying to get it in place

[@rustbeltairgun8718]

Through the magic of video editing, you missed all the outtakes of me cursing when the spring hit me in the fingers and all the parts flew. There is a semi-circle piece of metal that holds the spring in place while in the frame.

[@kusterma]

Thank you very much! Great video!

[@rustbeltairgun8718]

Glad you liked it!

[@alexsanchez8453]

what is the name of the part stroke the munision?

Hopefully, this exploded view of the similar Marksman will help: www.jgairguns.biz/1010-1010x-1015-c-78_312_976/

[@armycrank428]

Can you redo the video now in better quality I really need this to fix mine and I can’t see were the 2nd big spring clip goes

[@armycrank428]

Like the whole video in 1080 and zooming in on small stuff

[@armycrank428]

Pls redo the video showing exactly how the pins go in the trigger and stuff I got it all down except for the last pin I really need to put back together this gun

[@rikbiddulph5350]

Can I strech the springs making them tenser seems a matter of logic

[@rustbeltairgun8718]

I don't believe so, I believe the springs are bent in helical fashion then tempered in order to harden and to maintain shape. Stretching may just cause it to snap.

[@FrankRovsing]

Hi. Where did you get the exploded view from.?

[@rustbeltairgun8718]

I arranged the parts, from my DX17, in an exploded view pattern.

[@abdulsamad7950]

Hey How did you hold the spring ? I tried to resemble my gun but the spring doesn't hold . it pops out every single time

[@rustbeltairgun8718]

It may take you several attempts. I made it look easy because I practiced the tear-down and reassembly several times, before recording.

[@sams6042]

Rotate the spring 180. One side is long and the other is short, long end should go up. You should be able to tell which arm fits where based on length

[@balisongtricks7746]

Mine won’t pull back sadly and I can’t fix it

[@rustbeltairgun8718]

Sorry to hear, it is hard to diagnose remotely. Sometimes I have to take apart and reassemble an air pistol several times to get all the parts in the right spot.

[@neogeo1670]

Check that the safety is all the way OFF

[@nashdill7919]

Thanknyou so muck for this video I have have issues with the cocking mechanism for a while now with this I can fix me old kids guns

@@rustbeltairgun8718 how u get the spring in there i cant get that part of it

[@zaragozaigonzalezjr4493]

The camera was too high and I couldn't make out how you put the springs in and your video is the only one I have found on how to put them in

[@rustbeltairgun8718]

Sorry it was not helpful. I cannot make any new videos at this time, due to my battle with cancer.

[@indigoarce7173]

Mine is broken now because I tried to disassemble it under the gidence of this video but I can't get it back together 😢 And I was wondering if you could make a tutorial instead of just making it in silence

[@rustbeltairgun8718]

Sorry to hear you were not able to get your DX17 back together, based on my video. I am undergoing Cancer treatment right now and will not be able to make any new videos until October.

Esta pistola de aire comprimido es difícil de montar.

[@pus-mg4uy]

Brooo u should make a new video of this one. Cant see whats going on with the spring in the trigger area even with zoom on the phone. And u faild so many times to put it back together it was too hard to figure out whats going on

[@rustbeltairgun8718]

I made this video over 3 years ago, and my video equipment has improved. I "failed" so many times because it was difficult to align everything and compress the main string at the same time.

[@olvinlobo8303]

Could you please send me step-by-step photos with better quality?

[@neogeo1670]

mine broke after 200-300 shots.... the slide got more hard to push back into battery in the last 50 shots and as i pulled the slide back suddenly the slide broke internally and cant be pushed in again... this is not normal, so i contacted the airgun dealer, so they offerd me to send it back to them for repair, but it looks to broken to be fixed even though i sendt them a videoclip of the malfunction in question, so i guess they will just send me a new one.... ive only had it for a week this must sure go under warrenty , like in norway btw

[@rustbeltairgun8718]

Your DX17 should definitely still be under warranty. I didn't have any issues with the DX17 used in my Tear Down and Reassembly video. It worked correctly before and after.

[@neogeo1670]

@@rustbeltairgun8718 good for you

[@fluffyman4329]

Even when i get the springs in place they just shoot out

little hard to see but otherwise good job. hate the music lol

[@rustbeltairgun8718]

I know, didn't have the best camera when I did this video.

[@watertakken]

Thats looks so painful to strip down and reassemble. I could never do that to my air pistol. The Marksman maybe easier.

[@rustbeltairgun8718]

It is not easy keeping all of the springs in place during reassembly. I would only recommend tearing down if there is a problem AND if it is not under warranty. A CO2 powered air pistol is easier to tear down and reassemble.

[@watertakken]

@@rustbeltairgun8718 The Daisy Powerline 340 is the easiest air pistol to take apart. Not sure about PSM45.
