I have a vintage (mid 1970s) model 25.
 
It shoots but quit shooting until I drowned it in ND 30Wt oil.... now it is shooting again.
 
The gun is much more "substantial" than its new companion 25.  Feels heavier and reminds of a
"real" gun.
 
It has a much louder report when shooting than the newer 25.  And a very noticeable recoil.
The front sight jumps perhaps 1 1/2 inches with recoil.
 
What I am wondering is whether I need to be concerned about it's recent behavior - the stopping of
proper shooting and the loud report.  I once again oiled it after shooting today and have it stored in
and upright manner.  I also put some oil down the shot tube.
 
I shot it about 100 shots over the last 2 days and plan to exercise it some more tomorrow.
 
I'm hoping to get some suggestions about how I should treat the old girl.  I'd hate to ruin 'er
with good intentions.  Cry
 
Oh yes, I forgot.  She is a good lookin' gun - nice shape. Smile

Sounds like it's working just right. The newer 25's don't have near the spring size to even compare. I've never heard of a daisy being over-oiled, they just blow out the excess. They're very low maintenance and usually self-repairing when it comes to the seals. They just need a drink now and then like a lot of us.

Thanks for the info - that's what I was hoping you would say.  I really like the older gal best - she is more
like a real gun than the new kid on the block.
 
Besides, she reminds me of my first gal friend BB gun.  A model 25 some 68 years ago......
 
Good gosh!  I am older than dirt!!!!Smile

LOL indeed. It is fun to read the posts sometimes. No malice meant there, I'm sure. It's just that the D 25 has been the same weight and size for 100 years...and has shot well under 350 fps since the 60's. 
No worries. Wink
All I'm for is the liberty of the individual.
