what do you guys use for seals in the daisy powerlines? both the breach seal and the piston seal seem to be of a rubber that won't hold up long...
any tuners out there, (i'm eventually getting this thing tuned by a proffesional) how good do you get these things? i've heard that they can be fairly smooth, and REALLY accurate for a $100 gun.

I recently shot all my guns to group them at 60 yards. Granted, I ain't the greatest shooter - but in my hands my Powerline beat everything else I had - whether .22 or .177. This includes an RWS Panther, a Shadow, a CFX, and an RWS48. Granted, the ones that grouped the best were all pretty close - well within my margin of error. But it shows that the gun can do far better than its price would indicate.
I substituted an O-ring for the breech seal, I believe it was a #108 or #109. I don't remember if I had to shim it. Never had to look for a piston seal.
As for the rest, I tarred the spring on this one - which made a BIG improvement in firing behavior. I also ever-so-lightly smoothed over the interface surfaces between the sear and the intermediate lever and applied a little moly paste - and the trigger now breaks at less than 2 pounds (which helps with the accuracy, I'm sure).

i think two o rings will be needed...thanks vince. what is the firing behavior like on your gun?
-
do you think that the piston mod that you offer will work on this gun?
-
the mod you do on g1's with welding brass...you think it will work on the powerline?
thanks paul!
-
hmmm...do you think the powerlines would benefit from any hinge work? i'm trying to decide on which tune to get from ya! what do you think?...fix tune work?...or should i go intermediate tune, and add piston mod to it(along with some other parts...hehe)
-
Good shooter for the price, trigger mod is a must. I agree with vince, accurate little shooter too.Ed

The tar made a heck of an improvement, but I suspect that a lot of the remaining noise is caused by the hollow stock. If I can get it filled with something, I suspect the gun will be a relative pleasure to shoot. Considering how unpleasant it was when I started, anyway...
