Daisy 853 reseal

Hi,

While I'm certainly not an authority, I've been doing a lot of the setups and repairs for the 853s for our club members in our winter air gun league. I ran into that situation once and after some research read that a light tap directly on the valve to positively seat it might help. I would first disassemble the valve assembly and carefully check for any gunk on the valve seat. Check the valve for any damage. Then reinsert the valve, and using a punch or dowel, give the valve a light tap to firmly seat it and reassemble. Worked for me.
