N/A Marksman 0035 not shooting

[wethy]

My buddy has one. It quit spitting pllets. 177 any ideas where to start? Cleaned the barrel, had 5 stuck but now won't do anything.

Check the breech seal but probably the piston seal and/or spring. You'll need a special tool in order to remove the trigger assembly and get to those. @KWK Knows much more than I do about that gun though

The seals in those turn to crumbly, hard and sticky goop.

I thinkhe's decided to get something new. Probably a good idea. He just shoots small yard varmits. I had an old Diana that was a good shooter but sold it to my brother. He about poop when he saw the different choices you now have and the price ranges. lol

Hi, I'm having a hard time getting the trigger out. I realize that I need to make a tool, but the question I'm wondering is, do I have to compress the spring in far enough that the entire trigger assembly block comes out of the hole where the trigger itself normally protrudes from? That seems like a lot of tension to apply by hand with a homemade tool, so I just want to make sure before I go messing around with it.

I did it like this
First made a tool. Out of a pipe nipple I had handy. Then used my drill press to compress the spring. And then trigger block pins come out. And BINGO

First I turned the pipe nipple to diameter on the lathe. Then slotted it.

That’s how I did it

Thank you. The blue Craftsman is about 85 years old. I appreciate nice vintage machines. And motors too. I have a stock of vintage motors (I like working on them) and enough vintage drill press parts to build about 7 nice machines. I hord the good parts. Have a stack of vintage drill press tables that don't have holes drilled in them by shop primates. My pet peeve is a drill press or milling vise with holes drilled in it. Or a drill press table with that "Arc of Shame".
Here is a nice Delta Milwaukee Band saw I picked up (scored)last fall. VGC and in it's in it’s 70's. Original Delta "Repulsion Start Induction Run" motor still running great

Recently did the exact same on my marksman 0035. The seal you will need is this one on amazon.

I didn't know they sell on Amazon. I don't buy from them often but I would look at their website and then communicate through ebay. I had better success communicating that way.
