I made my own replacement spring with some spring wire I bought at the hardware store. My velocities initially went from the factory lower-200s, up to 400 FPS. It took maybe a month of shooting and my velocities lowered back down to about a steady 380 FPS. I guess my DIY replacement main spring had settled in or something like that. Unfortunately, I also had to fabricate a new cocking lever out of stronger metal cause the factory cocking handle was wearing out at the tip where it engaged the spring holder's cocking flat.
Thank you for this video. I purchased and installed the new spring and air tube. Enjoyed the extra power but was very upset with accuracy. Watched a video about the "artillery hold" for spring powered air guns and my accuracy now is great. These spring guns have a lot of kick and if you don't hold your spring powered air rifle correctly your shots will be all over the target.
Hi Jason Shane restomod daisy to check out your results with the Cobalt 327 super spring and the overboard air tube 7/64 I'm able to get mine up to 350 but not over that so far keep up the good work brother I'll be checking with you every so often this is George from California
Great video Blue Hill. I did the same swap on my No.111 Model 40 using the Cobalt327 spring & tube and got near the same results. A great improvement. Except.... doing a one handed spring change is a little out of my league. Ha Ha.... :-)
Nice work! Congrats on getting your PPS (Personal Porch Shooter) Model 1938 Red Ryder into Super Thumperland! I can only speak for myself but I love that industrial North Eastern Accent. Pure USA! I also admit that I've never shot a full adult beverage can before and winced when I saw it. Just a great video, if there's anything I can help with just let me know.
Thanks for the compliment on your latest vid, I must say I will be rigging a caulking gun and fender washer for spring compressing. Cobalt sent me a nice comment too. Gonna tackle an old number 50 golden eagle at some point she's in bad shape but I'm gonna try to at least make it look good.
Very very cool! I just bought myself a christmas wish edition to bring back childhood and now that im a mature adult i want to make it like a big boys pew pew 😂
@@Seabass1206 They sell an "adult" version with a bit longer and thicker stock. Would be great for the adult size to pack a little more power, it's still an easy action compared something like a break barrel air rifle
I don't know about him, but I installed the same mods in my Red Ryder and it shoots great at 15 yards. Accuracy remains about the same as stock, which is still good because I can hit a 2" steel fence post at 15 yards almost every time with it. Makes a nice "ping" noise! But yes at 15 yards it's perfectly accurate for shooting cans or bottles. At ten yards on paper targets you should able to get about a 1-1/2 to 2" grouping. Not bad for a BB gun, but it's well known the Red Ryder has good accuracy for what it is.
I just did both of these mods and it's way more powerful but accurate at all. I was thinking of removing just the stiffer spring or the air tube. Has anyone tried just doing one of these.
Look on eBay for user ‘Cobalt 327’ - he also has several TH-cam videos. If you’re upgrading a used Ryder I recommend getting the upgraded fiber optic sight and a new lever (yours is probably worn). If you’re away from home and don’t have a workshop, buy 1/8” rod and file some divots to push the spring back. Space 3/8” apart and secure them in a block of wood or your original Daisy wooden sleeve (can clean that up later).
Daisy parts and Daisy BB guns other than the Red Ryder and Model 25 seem to be difficult to get hold of in the UK, it's a bit annoying. I'd like to be able to get the 499 target version and order parts for the Ryder like a large loop lever etc
Shane at restomod daisy and mark at cobalt327 both are super guys and will help you if they can with problem both of them has helped me quite a bit this is old George out of Northern California God bless to both of them
What can i do to get more power end f p s from my 35 daisy please becose it doesn't gou vroe a soup can it just dint it end i shoot regular bb.s i can hold the gun 2 or even 5 cm from soup can end it just dend it
Your best bet is to just get a Daisy 880 if you want to be able to punch through both sides of a steel soup can. Either that or a Crosman 760 or Crosman 2100. All of those have plenty of power for just about anything you want to shoot at.

Thanks for the tip. Sounds like a nice rabbit hole for me to explore😅
yah i had to keep the spring take out the tube
First video of this hop-up that I seen where it's actually chronographed! Nice gains! Nice video!

Interesting 🤔 nice work on your increase powered Red Ryder BB Rifle
Thanks for sharing 💯📸

@@northbluehilloutdoors4306 Can't wait to see it!

Not bad at all for a red ryder!
Good looking too
It's worth the effort. I did the same thing to my Red Ryder two years ago. Makes the gun a lot more fun and it will shoot farther.
@@trevorjameson3213 can't get the power kit shipped gere 😢🇨🇦
Just got my spring in and that colbalt327 is no joke that spring is tough
How’s the gun holding up after 2 years? Any broken parts or signs of increased wear?
This is the setup Daisy should have used from the factory. This is roughly a 30 percent increase in velocity.
It’s a child’s toy BB gun, they don’t want it to be so powerful!
@@Seabass1206 No, Its an adult toy, that kids have express permission to use*

@@glennsparks919Don't be silly. It's made and marketed as a child's bb gun. Daisy has said so for 70 years. You're ignoring and denying the truth.
@@AncientCreature-i2o GobblessYaHans.
That stock looks sweet. Did you refinish it?
How on earth can you pull that spring down with your hands??? I can’t even begin to budge it.
BOOYAH! Now if someone would build a hot one from the ground up.
How is the accuracy within 15 yards? I mostly shoot in the 10-15 yard range in my backyard.

Best not to dry fire BB guns. The air building up behind the BB cushions the impact on the seals and mechanical parts.

Where can I buy springs and accessories like this?

Where did you get these components?
Sorry man not on top of my channel EBay
Would this kit work on a #155?
Hi guys is this spring available in the uk

My model 35 easily goes through a soup can. Compression problem of some sort probably. Oil the pump cup.
Sorry, couldn't see what you were doing through the back of your hand. My x-ray vision is broke...
Damn..that can k!ll a cat...
This is horrible camera work and low volume mumbling. Showed me more of your elbows and the cluttered background than the product!
