Thanks Rick I'll try that first. I have a feeling the abutment washer is stuck to the plunger head as it makes a "clack" sound when fired but it's hard to tell over the ricochet noise. So if that's the case I'll end up removing the plunger assembly and see what's going on.

I would try to oil it first before taking it apart.
I believe these were all made with the rubber style seals which take a set over time.
I had one with the same issue that was cleared after oiling it a couple of times over a few days time.
Oil it good from the oil hole and the barrel and leave it in the cocked position overnight and exercise it a few times and re-oil and let it set.
This worked for me.
Hope it all works out for you.

Hi all hope everyone is in good health. Just picked up a model 97 in pretty nice shape with a strong ricochet sound but shoots a bb very weakly. I am going to check the condition of the plunger washer and barrel seal but would would like to know if there are any special steps because of the ricochet mechanism. Any help would be appreciated.

I understand now. Less complex than what my imagination had come up with- and that's the beauty of these guns. Simple but VERY well thought out.

I find that very interesting- thanks, Rick. If you had asked me how to adjust the mechanism before seeing this, I'd have said that the wire or "reed" needed to be tweaked. So it's a good thing I never tried to adjust one!

I'm hoping you can fill me in on the lever that spins the toothed drum- how is it attached to the gun, how does the spring (I'm guessing t's the spring) interacts with the lever, or anything else that might help me get my head around how it works. I have a few photos but none shows the lever clearly. I even had a ricochet gun here for repairs, I should have taken a peek then, but I didn't think to. *facepalm*

Pretty rifle Mark , shoot , I am getting close to needing a scope or dot for about any shooting  outside of my well lit  shop , yes anytime you get a 97 or like gun not sounding all that great make sure that the lever that spins the drum is : long enough as they can get a pretty good bend in them , no heavy grease or oil on the parts , small clear disc is not broken and that the small wire is hitting the drum and resting on the disc , oh and grease built up on the underside of the forearm will muffle some of the sound too . after seeing your improved 96 I may have to rescue an old 99 that is in very poor condition , shoots perfect but man is it ugly LOL .
