I couldn't find skewers but I happened on some 3/16" by 1 foot Not many sites have much info other than the blurry parts manualsĪnd none seemed to have the dimensions of the prongs for the "special tool" The photos were really helpful in showing the mysteries of the spring inside and your use of square skewers. Thanks much for your website on the repair of the Red Ryder BB Gun. It bends towards the rear of the gun so that the spring wedges it against the slot in the lower part of the barrel - thus holding it in place.Īlso be careful to re-install the trigger spring properly so that it provides resistance to the trigger - otherwise the gun will tend to fire on it's own after cocking (hair trigger) - very dangerous. Note that the spring retainer has a bend to it that has to be oriented the same as it was removed. Again be careful with the spring compression step. Put everything back together in reverse order from removal. (It's been a couple months since I did this so I don't remember exactly what convinced me to do this but sufice it to say that at the time I remember that it seemed quite obvious). This presented a fresh face for the movable tube move against and appeared to be far less likely to stick again. The fix was simply to separate the two seals, remove the stationairy seal by sliding it off the tube, turn it around and replace it on the tube. So when the gun was cocked the stationairy seal was pulled along with the movably seal and no air chamber was formed and therefor no compression to generate the puff that propelled the BB on it's way. The problem with this gun was that the two seals had stuck together (probably from sitting for a long time in the un-cocked possition being pressed together by the spring). The blue arrow points to the moving seal that slides back and forth with the spring. The red arrow points to the stationairy seal (toward the forward end of the gun). These are shown here in the compressed position as they would be after fireing the gun. The air chamber is contained between two seals. The problem is with the piston assembly that produces the puff of air pressure that propells the BB out of the gun. Note:This repair was many years ago, now, and the fix has held nicely. This is what I did to fix it and so far it has continued to work very well (one year later). This is why I am posting this short note. These were useful but none of them talked about this problem or it's solution. I searched the internet for help on this problem but only found sites that described disassembly, etc.
So it sat in the entryway closet for many years while I pondered what to do next (not a high priority).
The gun cocked and fired as if it was a normal bb gun (I had one of these as a child) but I could see the bb fly out of the barrel and travel all of 2 feet as it arced to the ground, landing at my feet. When I got it home I loaded it with some bb's and gave it a try. I wanted something to scare the squirrels out of our bird feeders without hurting them (too much). I paid a couple dollars for it because none of us believed it was an antique. I found my Red Ryder many years ago in an antique store on the boardwalk in Myrtle Beach NC.
