You may want to send it to Tim McMurray of MACH One in CA. He can do amazing things with those guns. You chack into his "tune up" where he tunes the trigger and the action.

Tip to make installing the spring for the pellet loader very easy and reduce the chances of damaging the spring...
Looked for videos on this but found that they all cut the video to install this spring failing to show how they finally did it.
Put everything back together but do not install the pellet loader spring until after you have replaced the frame cover and tightened the screws.
Slide the pellet loader toward the muzzle and insert the loosely coiled end of the spring into the channel towards the rear of the gun. Use a small screwdriver to push from the tightly coiled end of the spring until it clears the pellet loader. Push down on the spring and it should pop into place, completely undamaged.
Also ran into a small issue with the hammer not being able to lock back with a cartridge installed. When the new seal was installed in the top of piercing block, the fitting for the line did not tighten down as much as it had been prior to the repair. The top of the fitting was holding the hammer up just enough to keep it from locking with a cartridge installed. I used a small piece of brass between the frame and the piercing block to achieve the needed clearance.
I have repaired guitars(both acoustic and electric), banjos, and mandolins including refinishing and final setup. Also used to do a lot of work on firearms for family and friends, but new state transfer laws stopped much of that. Still refinish stocks and work on a few C&R items from time to time.
One of my friends has quite the collection of fully automatic BB guns and brings them to me for repair. So far, I have only disappointed him on one occasion. It was an old Daisy rifle that needed seals and the barrel was badly bent. For just a little more the price of the seal kit, he bought a new version of the same rifle.
I'm open to new projects if anyone cares to message me. Located in Marylandistan.

Actually, being retired, I have lots of time and am always looking for small projects to keep me busy.Now we know who to send em to
