About 3 years ago Walmart had those Crosman.177 Hollow points for $2.39 for 500 and I bought 20 tins. Really need to invest in a few other brands. And types.
My Daisy's eight or nine years ago. Yes it has the plastic crap. But I have shot it so many times and it still shoots good. Not bad for a pellet gun that cost fifty bucks back then.
Use a small screw driver and remove that retention spring where the plastic pump arm catches into the receiver, it's not a necessary piece and then it will be very easy to pump. You'll notice when you close the lever it cams over right before closing, so it's not going to fall open again. Better yet, replace the plastic arm with an old metal one.
I have a new model Daisy 880, that I bought last year. Funny the Christmas I got my Blue Streak I asked for an 880, LOL, I was a little disappointed at first but once I shot my Sheridan, it was kismet. But it still didn't change the fact that I didn't have an 880. Well 39 years later I bought one of my own and its one of my favorite plinkers
the 880 is the perfect pellet gun with the monte carlo stock . light weight. perfect hold. the famous pumping handle, the cool looks it has , and the simple design it has from daisy. the power and its common for these guns to shoot quarter size groups 20 yards or better. mine are from the 1970s. the 880 and the sheridan c models are both my top pellet guns.
Awesome Nibs! Love the 880. Only other pumper I suggest is the Daisy 901. Nice solid composite stock. Fantastic shooter, feels so solid! Look forward to more on your new 880.
Im your new subscriber to your channel, glad i find it. Shows me im not differend from many, liking this stuff 😂 Recently bougth daisy's 880. Like it a lot, it shoots well and looks good. Coming from powerfull breakbarrels i like the plinking whit (lower power & bb's ) indoors or my small garden. Real wood & blued toolsteel would be even better. Olso like your old Daisy bb pistol video ,the one you repaired. Greeting from Holland the netherlands.
I find pumping it I can slowly bring the handle right to the retention spring but not click it engaged. It charges the stroke and doesn’t have that annoying graspy click each time. (Maybe a bit like the Seneca where you don’t need to close it all the way)
Replace the plastic pump arm with a metal one. It has to be the cast metal pump arm from the 1980's, not the two-piece stamped steel pump arm from the '70's (fitment issue). Anyway, if you can find a cast metal pump arm from a mid-80's 880, it will mount right up, and it feels great! I bought my modern 880's back in 2012 and found used pump arms online back then. They may be harder to find now I don't know. Another great thing about the 880 is; there is no "pump cup" like the crosmans. It's just a simple O-ring that can be replaced, I get them at harbor freight for cheap.
@@joedokes8641 If you ever go to airgun shows, you might find an old Daisy 822, all metal plus wood, very nice, and .22 cal pellet only. I found one about ten years ago and still have it, shoots great, very accurate.
I was just thinking about picking a new 880 up, but would rather have the metal receiver, guess I'll be hitting the yard sales... Glad I got the Crosman 2100 while it had a metal receiver... Can't wait for the head to heads... Take care have a good week... Big C 😎
@@BrettBaker-uk4teThe only comparable pumper to the new Crosman 2100 or Crosman Legacy 1000 is the Winchester 1977xs. Only wish they would make it in metal receiver. I've read they are super accurate like the 880s but need consistent lubrication on the pump to last.
Sounds like I need to buy a 1000 Legacy, gut out the inters and put them into my 2100B so I can have a 2100 from the past... Also, hand make a wooden stock and forearm... sign me up... The things that make you say hmm... Big C 😎 @@BrettBaker-uk4te
@@WalnutandSteel 1972. I have one, it was called Power King back then. And like you, I also have an '85 model. As well as two of the modern ones. Very accurate rifles.
Only things i was disappointed with is the plastic receiver and stock. Where they meet is just to flimsy ,and the pump handle always feels like its gonna break. JMO.
I use to have like a 880 model in the 80s but the “receiver” was kind of a Bornze color and Shoot BBs and pellets. I haven’t seen any of this again. Anyone know wich model was that.
Hey nib's what oil should you use on the pump cups on pumpers ? Some guys say pel-gun oil but others say not to use it to only use 100% pure silicone oil
@@WalnutandSteel hey nib's I got the buck-rail handguard for my Notos but I have something to ask when I put the bipod on the bottom of my handguard the handguard will wiggle from side to side ! Does the handguard you have on your Notos wiggle ?? I'm kinda worried about the air tank wiggling along with the handguard !
It really is a disgrace. And they've been putting the plastic pump arm on them since at least 1992. I just replace them with the metal pump arm; pay way too much for an old 880 off ebay that doesn't work, then scavenge the pump arm, the stock and forearm pieces (still plastic but nicer than the new ones), and then the modern 880 is just great. But I've never been able to get the old metal receivers to fit the new 880's, they changed some things and the fit just doesn't work for some reason. Maybe some machining would do the trick but I never tried doing that.

Me and my brother wore out a couple of 880's back in the 1980's a kid across the road got us hooked on them they were and still r very good rifles.
Wish they would make the receiver opening a little larger like the 760. 760 is a lot easier to put the pellet in.

Same here . The older ones feel more substantial in the hand than that plastic China crap .
One of my favorites! Most of my collection is old Daisy springers, the 880 has always been a go-to in my airgun stable. 🤠👍 Great stuff brother!
Awesome Nibs! Love the 880. Only other pumper I suggest is the Daisy 901. Nice solid composite stock. Fantastic shooter, feels so solid! Look forward to more on your new 880.

I appreciate you subscribing to the channel! the 880 is a lot of fun!
Wow! Mines only a couple years older, you got fiber optic front sight! 😮❤
Always liked those. It's got a Remmy BDL looks , to me & been around for ever. Nice showcasing it & TY.

Just got one Love it Very accurate using BSA interceptor pellets The only gun I have that likes them 👍🇬🇧
I picked up a new 50th Anniversary Edition from Daisy that is sweet…

Nothing beats the old metal ones .

I have a 922 here in the garage
@@WalnutandSteel That's the one I WISH I had! I have the 822 which is nice, but the 922 has the five shot pellet clip right?
It’s supposed to have the pellet clip. But mine was missing it. They are impossible to find. So I made a single shot tray for it.
Going to have to change the name to 'Plastic & Polymers' 😅

Yup I definitely like the metal version 2100 and 880 better
It's weird. 2100B, metal receiver, plastic internals. 1000 Legacy, plastic receiver, metal internals 😮

I have an original 880 and a reconditioned one from a few years ago.
What was the first year for the 880? The older one I have was made in 85 if I am reading the production code right
@WalnutandSteel mine first one was from 72. The barrel on the old one is smooth bore. The reconditioned one I got us about 5 years ago.
@@paulbervid1610 Same here. I also have a '72 model "Power King" on the butt stock, and smooth-bore.
@@WalnutandSteel 1972. I have one, it was called Power King back then. And like you, I also have an '85 model. As well as two of the modern ones. Very accurate rifles.
Yes the original name was PowerKing .
Nice Nibs just like my daisy from the 80’s w/o the red dot of course lol
Enjoyed it sir
Only things i was disappointed with is the plastic receiver and stock. Where they meet is just to flimsy ,and the pump handle always feels like its gonna break. JMO.
I use to have like a 880 model in the 80s but the “receiver” was kind of a Bornze color and Shoot BBs and pellets. I haven’t seen any of this again.
Anyone know wich model was that.
Nibs does the 880 load any better then the Barra 1866 ? Thanks
The 880 port is way better than the barra
Thank you sir!
Hey nib's what oil should you use on the pump cups on pumpers ? Some guys say pel-gun oil but others say not to use it to only use 100% pure silicone oil
I have always been using pellgun oil in my pumpers
@@WalnutandSteel 👍

I will have to double check mine in the morning but I don’t think it is wiggling
@@WalnutandSteel
Please check it and let me know mine will move from side to side about a 1/16th of a inch
If your old one is from 1985...then it has a metal handle...that new one is plastic! disgraceful!
