    Twenty-five + years ago, Daisy and their authorized repair dealers would repair their BB Guns by replacing bad parts with new parts.
    If you mean restore an old piece using the original parts, I doubt it. I would call either Daisy or a authorized dealer and ask. If you have to have it done by a professional it would be costly. You may well be able to do a decent job yourself.

    Geri-If you solve this let us know. I have one that is roughy 60 years old! Used to just oil down the barrel and it fixed the problem!

    Hello Geri - I have a 777 that needs repair. The folks in Arkansas referred me to a person in Florida for repair. I made contact and declined as the repair was more than the original cost. Before it went south I used "Kroil" as a lubricant - in hard-wares and from Midway.
    Best Regards - AQH

    petroleum based oil to swell the rubber seal and lubricate.
    just because you could doesn't mean you should

    I was told to use 3 in 1 20 wt oil in my Daisy Mdl 99 target.

    Normal 3 in 1 is 10 wt, but I had my local hardware order some 20 wt.
