The 1894 factory air tube ID was said to be a #40 drill bit (0.098'). I'm currently using an ID of 3/32' (0.094) on the factory air tubes. A standard 3/32' bit isn't usually going to be long enough to reach the bottom of the outlet port on the air tube so I use a standard drill bit for as deep as it'll go then a longer 'specialty' bit to finish. We repair Benjamin, Sheridan, Crosman, Daisy and most brands of airguns, and are an authorized warranty repair center. General repair includes all seals, valve springs and oil. We also clean, degrease and oil your airgun, and will make that old bb or pellet gun shoot like it was young again!

There seem to be a correct procedure to oil those rifles. Hope it helps!

Location: Saskatoon Saskatchewan | Thank you airmec, that's what i have been looking for. I looked over the gun for oil ports but found now, hence the question.
You have been a great help on this and i will give it a go. I tried firing the gun, it shot the bb but not much force, hopefully this will help.
Again thanks alot,
old dude

Location: Saskatoon Saskatchewan | this gun was purchased for my brother in law when he was 13 1964 i believe he said. He gave it to me as he hasn't had any use
for it for a long time. I told him i was getting into air guns and he dug this beauty up for me.

Location: Saskatoon Saskatchewan | I just took it out in the back yard and shot some rounds. Works great and even still sited in and shooting with
some force now. Again thanks Airmec, that solved the problem, i guess i'll have to keep her oiled up and shooting
smooth. Never knew air guns could be so much fun. Have to do something until fishing season, and no i don't ice fish
it's hard to get my canoe to float

Location: Eastern Townships | This is one sweet looking vintage rifle, old dude! I'm happy if I did help you to make it shoot better, you really seem to enjoy it . According to the infos I found, it's a rather realistic replica. Here's some more interesting reading:

Location: Saskatoon Saskatchewan | Thanks I found that site while looking for how to oil the old girl. I found it very informative and some history as well.
since just recently getting into air guns, i noticed Daisy is located in Rogers AK. the gun i have was produced in Preston, Ontario, Canada.
Would you know if the guns made in Preston where for the Canadian market or all of them made there back in the 1960s.
Thanks airmec.
Have a good one,
old dude
