Hey RNS. Hope all is well.
I see the Benjamin and the Crosman in the picture. Under the white table top is what looks like a Daisy Model 25 slide pump action BB gun. How old is it? There were actually over 50 variants of that BB gun produced from 1914 to 1979. They also produced a Centennial version in 1986. They began production again in 2010. It looks like it's a more modern version but I had to ask.
Funny thing you started this thread. My wife entered my man cave today and commented on how she liked the smell. I asked her why, she said it smells like gun oil. I'm thinkin about starting a new line of cologne.

BINGO! Yes it is a non-firing Daisy 25. I had one as a kid and a dishonest local gun dealer sold me this one and it does not even fire.
I have never been back to his place since.
It turns out not one person in the entire world repairs them.
Evidently they were way too complicated to today's minds.
On some rainy day I will take it apart and see what I can do.
...as for your cologne comment, we were watching Police Academy 2 last night and Tackleberry was putting gun oil on as a cologne before going out to date his gun nut girlfriend.
The right scent really DOES work....but varies with the individual.

The Daisy 25 was notorious for being unreliable. The main reason I've never had any interest in collecting Daisy bb guns is there are so many variations of the same model (the 50 variations of yours is not unique). The Red Ryder is another example.
It shouldn't be too hard to fix however as it seems you have the mechanical skills to tear it down and find the problem.
If you want another Benjamin let me know. I've got 80 or so to choose from. Some brand new in the box from the 70's and 80's.

Think 3rd party for 2024 folks. Clean up America.
Once I tell you that we agree to disagree there will be no more discussion between us in the thread so please don't waste your time continuing to argue your points because I will not respond.
