I just received my Daisy 953 today. I really like it, it puts every single pellet exactly where the crosshairs are when the trigger breaks (yes I use a scope) 0 variation when using the pellet I sighted in with.
The 953 that I have does 508FPS with CPL's, for 4.5FPE. I am going for 6.3FPE (it has been done with the 953 before, so it is a reasonable goal).
I know that any power improvement modifications generally come at the cost of shot to shot consistency. I am going to do mods to improve shot to shot consistency while I do the power mods, hopefully balancing it out.
Though the first thing will be to polish the trigger/sear/hammer contact points. I will later install a Daisy 880 trigger group section to make for an adjustable trigger (easier than the Pilkguns mod, with the same results).
For power I will fill the cavity in the piston, fill some of the hole in the spring retainer, add a insert in the valve spring to take some space, increase the strength of the hammer spring (which will also improve shot to shot consistency).
Looking at the rifle I think there are a few things to do to improve shot to shot consistency, though I will comment on that later as I better study the rifle.
I really wish I knew how to attach pictures on this forum. |

Ok with out using Postimage, though uploading it to the forum?? I attempt to avoid ECMA script (AKA Java script) as much as I can.
I may have to wait till i have the pictures on my blog and then add them using [ img ] url [ / img ] tags. That will be after I do the final write up for my blog on these mods so I will just say pictures to come for now. |

I filled the piston cavity with epoxy, and let it set overnight. The results brought 543FPS. As it started at 508FPS that is a decent jump.
The next thing will be to install a stronger hammer spring.
Pictures will be added when I get a writeup done for my blog once I complete the mods.
I already polished the trigger group while installing the 888 trigger group thus making the trigger adjustable. Think Pilkguns trigger mod, just a lot less work. |
