Daisy Powerline 822 Multi Pump Pneumatic Air Rifle Wood Stock Tested 476 FPS

  
The Daisy Powerline 822 was in production between 1976 and 1978, before manufacturing ceased in favor of the Model 922. Around the year 2000, Daisy brought the Model 822 back, but this time with a red fiber-optic front sight and re-designed internals.

Today, both generations are long discontinued. While not exceedingly rare, finding a 2000s-era 822 in this condition is genuinely uncommon and has become a desirable collector's item. This is a pre-owned rifle, but it has been meticulously cared for and looks stunning.

Cosmestically, the gun is in amazing condition. The beautiful wood stock and forearm are incredibly crisp, showing virtually no signs of age. The black factory finish on the metal barrel sleeve and receiver casing is remarkably well-preserved.

All stamped factory lettering-including the "OIL HERE" breach arrow and the original Rogers, AR stamping-is perfectly sharp and legible. It is a beautiful, display-worthy piece. I believe in being entirely straightforward so you know exactly what is arriving on your doorstep.

I recently worked on this rifle's internal compression seals and got it fully up and running. It shoots with excellent authority, but the seals still have a minor technical quirk that causes an occasional inconsistency in velocity.

To prove exactly how it performs, here is a 10-pump maximum compression test string using 11.9 grain RWS Hobby lead wadcutter pellets. Shot 4: 440 FPS (Internal seal pressure bypass). If you remove the 4th shot anomaly where the seal had a temporary pressure bypass, the velocity string becomes incredibly tight - dropping from a 50 FPS spread down to a remarkable 12 FPS spread! This rifle is fully operational right now, but it stands as the perfect, easy DIY project for the next owner. If you have a little bit of time to iron out the seal consistency, you will walk away with a premium, hard-hitting, cosmetically mint-condition Powerline 822 for a fraction of what a flawless specimen commands.

Because of this minor quirk, I have priced this rifle aggressively to move it this weekend. The details are all on the table. Please copy and paste the following text into your item description.
