Marksman 1700 series is what its says on the side. http://www.pyramydair.com/p/marksman-2025-pump-air-rifle.shtml

Sort of looks like that one. I have found no guide on google. Or on the marksman website. ( I know I've missed it on google but meh).

So my friend took it apart. Hes an idiot.some 15 odd pieces that he has no way that fit back in. If any one has any tips or ideas or links to other sites. Possibly with an instruction guide or some sort of intense cleaning guide. Like one that involves taking every part out of it or a similar gun.

Any ways I'm going to get something to eat and try and figure this guy out. Thanks in advance just for reading this post.

You may be beat before you even start. I'm not sure what the exact business position of Marksman is/isn't these days. At one point they were an independent company based in California that sold lower-end Chinese-made airguns. Somewhere along the line, Beeman Airguns got involved- I'm not sure if Beeman owns them, or they have some sort of partnership at this point.

Either way, Beeman typically will not release any sort of diagrams or part lists on their guns- and upon visiting the Marksman website (www.marksman.com) they have NO links to a customer service department or such.

All that being said, Marksman is basically the low-end (read that "junk") air gun seller of North America. The only retailers that typically carry their products are either Beeman dealers that are forced to put the Marksman line on their shelves, or "big box" stores offering lower-end stuff for the average consumer. I gather from your other post you are in Canada so your friend likely got the gun from Canadian Tire.

That being said- if you haven't owned an airgun before- the Marksman might turn you off airguns once you get it operating- it is very low powered (around 300fps), only shoots BBs which are generally pretty inaccurate, and it, according to the marksman website is a springer that is cocked with a pump-type handle- meaning it is likely a real pain in the butt to operate. A better, more powerful and accurate airgun would likely be more enjoyable in order to retain your interest. So, if you decide to reconstruct this Marksman- be prepared that you may be disappointed with the end result but that this isn't reflective of airguns in general.

Anyways, I emailed Marksman to see if they can provide any resources so maybe they will respond with something useful. If not- can you post pictures of the gun as it is (with all the pieces laid out so we can see them in reasonable detail)? If you can, we should be able to direct you on how to re-construct it, assuming of course nothing has actually been broken.

Yes, it was bought at canadian tire. I'm actually not expecting much out of it. My friend had a way worse hand gun that was annoying to pump and you couldn't point it down ward without the bb rolling out.

Thanks for emailing marksman for me I've been looking around for some sort of diagram. Also I wish I could take pictures right now but my parents just started unpacking from a trip and their camera is lost in piles of sh!t in our living room. I'll post back in a bit but right now I'm f#cking taking a nap. And thanks for the welcome. :D

Update.

I called marksman. Apperantly because of liability issues they can't release schematics on it. So now my only option is that somebody somewhere has taken pictures of themselves taking it apart and putting it together. Thanks for the help and if you come accross anything for this gun it would be a huge help.
