The Beeman Perfect Rounds were oversize and wouldn't even start in the barrel. Test fitting to the barrel indicated that the Gamo's were a nice snug fit. The Beeman Perfect rounds looked exactly like the Gamos except they ran from 0.1760" to 0.1775".Īnd the Crosman Premier BB's were the smallest at 0.1710" to 0.1725". The Gamo lead balls measured from 0.1750" to 0.1765". I, um, decided to take a pass on all that. I suppose a barrel could be turned down as one piece to include the base for the cocking lever and the spring seat, but you'd still have to cut a leade for the BB, drill a loading hole at the top, braze on a valve striker and add a pivoting wire catch inside the breech for the BB. Wish there was an easy way to add a rifled barrel to increase the accuracy with lead balls. That should help with the mediocre accuracy that most BB guns deliver. Figured I'd try to find the best fit to the bore. Went through the pellet pile and found several tins of lead shot. Some kind of white synthetic seal for the bearing to seal against. Pin on the end of the barrel? It's the striker for the valve.īall bearing check valve. You've got to admire the design-there's a certain genius in it's simplicity. Trigger is pulled and the barrel slams backward against the valve, valve opens and blasts the BB out the barrel. The sear catches and holds the barrel forward. When cocked, the barrel moves forward and compresses the spring. The screw at the front of the shroud is different than the other 3.īlack plastic bushing at the front provides a seat for the hammer spring. Two on the right side, and there's one on the left. The screws are threaded into the die-cast zinc valve body.

This screw secures the grip frame directly to the valve assembly.Ī slight back and down direction frees the grip frame. The grips and the rear sight are the extent of the plastic on the pistol. Right grip is screwed in place as is the forend. Find the finger groove at the bottom edge and lift up then pull off. Left grip appears screwed in place-it's not. However, a fresh cartridge brought the full-auto sensation back again for the first dozen shots. After a dozen shots, the gun worked and sounded as it should. I'd have probably even added a BB hopper for more ammo capacity.

Had it truly worked in full auto, I'd have left it alone. Unfortunately, it only fired one BB at a time. The gun fired-but sounded like it was a full-auto machine pistol. A squirt of Crosman Pelgun oil along with a new gas cartridge and bang. I took it home and found a dead 12 gram cartridge inside as well as about 75 copper-plated BBs. The model 1200 replaced the 200 in 1977 and was produced until 1996, it's as if Daisy went backwards in development.Īnyway, back to this 1200. While the model 200 is a true single-action semi-auto, the 1200 must be manually cocked before each shot. I assumed the valve was different, too and wanted a look inside. So, I was curious when I looked at the 1200 and saw how Daisy had added an end seal for the CO2 cartridge. The original model 200 piercing assembly isn't compatible with current 12 gram CO2 cartridges and the valve seals are relatively complex. There are VERY few functional CO2 200's left and I think he knew I'd have to attempt repairs. Nick sent me a CO2 200 (actually about one and a half 200's were in the box) in about 40 pieces several months ago. The model 200 dates from 1963 through 1976. The real reason I bought it was that it appeared to have several shared parts with the second model CO2 pistol from Daisy-the semi-auto BB firing CO2 200. Besides, maybe it'll encourage the gun shop to keep taking airguns on consignment. And how wrong can you go for $15? I knew I could at least get some blog material out of it and I can always threaten to send it to Nick. Normally, I wouldn't bother buying a BB gun, but it looked like it was in almost mint condition. The Crosman 150 grips are gonna have to wait until I can at least feel my fingers out there.įound this Daisy PowerLine 1200 CO2 pistol at the local gun shop for $15. OK, it's been 11 degrees outside the past few days, so I've been procrastinating on the wood working projects in the garage.
