    Daisy I was gifted 2 air pistols, a Beeman 800 and a Daisy 717. I need some help please.

    thank you...i'll look it up. also grateful for the information regarding which pellets to secure and which shop sells them. I purchase a lot from Amazon but i prefer when possible to shop at sellers that oft too often struggle as they support our sports and passions.

    thank you....very appreciative. I will try once again to see if i can salvage this broken part....and i also ordered some new rings. I'l try to update once i receive and install them. i guess one step at a time. I'm very fatigued from the meds so things take me a bit longer.

    thank you for taking the time to post all of this information. I will read it carefully and try to do what you have described. is the piece that broke off on the photo i attached of critical importance? if i understand your design, you didn't have to make a similar piece.
