"Found" some airguns at my parents house
« on: May 30, 2010, 02:35:23 PM »
I knew there were some airguns at my parents house that have been packed away for years. I've looked for them several times with no luck. Well, yesterday while I was there my Dad tells me he thinks he knows where they are. We go to the basement and lo and behold there they are. Nothing special or out of the ordinary to get excited about, but I'm glad to have 'em. There was a Chinese B1 or B2 (I think) break barrel. It is in good condition and shoots fine. I gave it to my son. There was also a Daisy 922 pumper. It is in fair to good condition but it shoots real weak. Lastly, the worst condition but neatest one (to me): a Smith and Wesson 78G .22 CO2 pistol. It doesn't shoot and is missing the grips but I feel sure I can repair it and am looking forward to the project. If anybody has diagrams / info / parts for the S&W 78G or the Daisy 922, please let me know.

Me and my boy have been shootin' the B1 the last couple of days. It's not bad at all for a cheap Chinese springer! Even the trigger isn't terrible. It's fun to whack cans with at 10M.
