Just for the heck of it....Daisy Red Ryder...
Stopped in Wallyworld and picked up a Daisy Red Ryder just for the heck of it for $27.95.
Still built pretty well (cocking lever is plastic instead of metal like my old one back in the 60's)
Filled the barrel full of BB's and had a Plink 'o Rama
Brought back alot of memories

I wonder if the plastic cocking lever would smart as much as the metal one when you touched it off with the lever down. Actually it hurt so much that I tried it again.

"You'll put yer eye out!"
I've had one for a few years now - comes in handy to run the neighborhood cats out of my backyard. Pop it in the butt - it doesn't come back for a little while.
Watch the little loading door near the muzzle - it can open and dump BBs on your floor - don't ask how I know . . .
Yep, way too much plastic these days - but still cheap fun!

Last one I owned I shot it so much that the plastic lever broke off. No velocity, but a lot of fun. I set up a target in my living room for my BB gun. Practice is practice after all.

Not much velocity for sure - but it WILL kill a squirrel or robin at ten yards . . . don't ask . . .

Had one when I was little. Just about wore the thing out. Hung it on my bedroom wall to look cool. I went back years later and it was still hanging there. The funny thing is when I was little, the gun was huge. After I had grown it looked like a little toy. Kinda heartbreaking.

Yeah,true,but they are still fun,and you can shoot them in the back yard and save the bb's with a blanket backstop.
