Beeman beeman AR2079B

[jstjohn35]

hello; i have taken my sidelever beeman apart to clean the airtube and valve. it appears i was getting powder coating flaking off and migrating through the power circuit which plugged the rifle. i have cleaned all the parts and polished the powder coating off the tube cap. pretty sure that corrected the problem.
does anyone have a parts diagram of an ar2079b, or has anyone seen one? i have had the sidelever apart before but can't quite get it back together this time. struck out with archer, no response from an email direct to beeman. should have snapped a few photos before sliding it all apart. thanks

Oooh boy...

That's a wiggle and jiggle it into place situation. There are two pins sticking up from the hammer and spring guide that have to be in the right places in order for the lever to correctly mate with them. Part numbers 0900 and 1000 in this diagram of a QB78. Unless they changed that too... I don't think they did. Or you can pull the receiver off and look at it as you align things. That's what I'd do.

Luck,

J~

Look at this tutorial and see if it helps.

Not a B model, but the set up is the same I believe.

I was in your same shoes about two months back. I have a Beeman AR2078B. I took it apart to do a B Staley mod on the hammer And a trigger tune. I thought I took it apart so carefully and even took a few photos. When it came time to put the side lever back on I was stuck. For a while at least. With some fiddling and playing around I eventually got it back together.
Keep trying for a while and if you are absolutely stuck then reach back out to me and I’ll pull mine back apart slowly and take some really good photos of the process.
