I bought a No. 40 Daisy Military rifle a few months ago. I was going to test fire it and discovered that the shot tube is missing the spring that feeds the BB's. Someone told me that a spring from a Model 25 shot tube would work. Would anyone have a shot tube spring they would like to part with? I would also appreciate anyone's opinion that indeed a Model 25 shot tube spring would work in the No. 40 shot tube.
My email is on my profile page. Thanks ![]() |

STEVE, SENT YOU AN EMAIL.
I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT A MODEL 40. I ALWAYS ASSUMMED IT WAS SUCH AN EARLY GUN IT WAS DESIGNED FOR LEAD SHOT, AND HENCE THE SHOT TUBE DID NOT HAVE A BB RETAINER SPRING, LIKE THE EARLY MODEL 25s....??? rick

I assume you mean the long round spring that you compress to load the bb's. If so I think the spring from a model 25 would work. The shot tubes from my early (1917) model 25 and model 40 are identical.

That is an interesting point. I do believe it does take the lead shot. I never considered it may not have ever had a spring. I do have another model 40 first variant and it does have a spring in the shot tube.
