Just for the heck of it....Daisy Red Ryder...

NRAJOE · 03-10-2007, 01:43 PM

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.

I have an airsoft AR-15 look-alike that is electric and shoots 600 rnds min

"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!

I,too,got one at Wallyworld,that wood trim instead of plastic gives it a lot better look and feel!

I miss mine

SKS NOOB · 03-11-2007, 05:16 PM

Chris, the one that I have is made by crossman. You can find it in any Walmart or K-mart store. Get'er done.

I have a little Crosman 760 Pumpmaster, fun as heck to shoot, and is good for taking out rabbits and squirrels in the backyard

Got one of those a few years ago,loaded up on dove a few times,will put a bb through 1/4" plywood with about 12 pumps at close range.

myarmor · 03-12-2007, 02:07 AM

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.

Big Dog · 03-12-2007, 05:56 PM

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

APorter · 03-12-2007, 06:19 PM

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.

Rave · 03-12-2007, 09:38 PM

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.

I shot a muskrat with my red rider and that muskrat just looked at me and gave me the finger then when back into the water. lol
