Wanted: Daisy Powerline 717, 747, or 777

Would prefer a 'Minter' but OK if it needs a bit of cosmetic work as long as all the bits are there and it's priced accordingly. Scammers need not reply

Also could anyone point me in the right direction for a breech seal for a .22 EM-GE Mod LP3a

Thanks Mike

No scammers here matey , this is not Freeads . Nice choice Daisy . Rear plastic sights on these are very prone to getting knocked even on minters so watch for micor cracks . Always fancied the latter model, the one with big wooden grips .

Hi,
Just in case you don’t already know the wooden grips that come on the 777 were oversized and Daisy recommended you cut them down to fit your hand.
As they come they are pretty uncomfortable and not particularly good to shoot with. (Oversized grips shown in the middle)
I was fortunate enough to source a second pair which I shaped to my hand while keeping the original grips to go with the pistol. (shaped ones fitted to this 777)

The aforementioned metal sights on the 777 really are great and it has a wider trigger blade and adjustable trigger.

The 747 is a good compromise if you actually want to shoot it, with the adjustable trigger but normal grips and sights.

The 747 is scarce, the 777 seems pretty rare.

Cheers,
Matt

yes, I always thought the 747 was under-rated for it's moderate price, and decent accuracy and trigger. I guess it didn't sell many, and hence somewhat rare these days.

Pretty brave of them selling grips oversized to diy trim down !

The 'Scammers' reference obviously wasn't directed at genuine members, but having had an attempt in the past it's always best to make it clear that I'm aware.

I agree, they're very nice guns and the later 777 would be my ultimate choice, would sit nicely alongside my Original Mod 6 and FWB 65. Thanks for the advice on the rear sights, I'll watch out for that, as I can imagine parts are not that easy to come by, especially parts that are prone to break or go missing as I discovered to my cost on my Walther LP53, I had to fashion a new fixed front sight post and use a HW rifle rear sight as a substitute for the original, they work well enough, but I do prefer originality.
