I've gone through several air gun catalogues and have been unable to locate a Daisy model 170 bb gun that has ever been made. I did find a Daisy BB gun model 5170 and a BB rifle model 1170 along with a BB rifle model 107 but "NO" model 170. However I suggest you search the web for "Daisy Air gun Repair" or "Air gun repair" and locate someone near you who can help you.
There are several different designs. Spring: when you cock the rifle is compresses a spring in an air tube. When you fire, it releases the spring and the spring forced air out of the tube and this fires the BB out of the barrel. C02; A C02 cylinder holds gas and each time you pull the rigger some gas is released into the chamber behind the BB and this gas fires a BB out of the barrel. Air: You have to pump the gun or rifle with an onboard pump several times to store compressed air in a chamber. When you pull the trigger it releases the air and this fires the BB out of the barrel.
