A lot of big, imaginary game was probably taken with this.

[Fishy]

Belonged to a relative who is now deceased. I bet he dreamed of hunting all kinds of critters as he plinked away with bb's while just a young boy. May have been manufactured in the '40's, but not certain. Think I came across the owner's manual for it the other day while going through decades of junk stored in a building.

There are factory engraved images on the sides. I honestly intended to clean this little gun up a long time ago. Surprisingly there are still bb's in it and it actually still plinks pretty good. Put some fresh holes in aluminum cans.

Maybe the experts on here can tell me what model and decade. Believe it's a Daisy.

10-4 on the Daisy. I shot the crud out of one when I was a kid. Had a few friends that had the pumps. I had a bare bones Red Rider carbine. And we'd hit the fields. There was nothing safe. Not even west Texas grass-hoppers. Easy way to get fish bait.

I had one friend that had one. And we literally ran a squirrel down till it couldn't run any more. Then I killed it at 3". It was my first squirrel.

I had one , got it in 57 or 58

Just now located the instruction manual again. It's a NO. 25 pump gun by description.

It's a Daisy sure enough, and a hard hitter. The pumps had a stouter spring than the lever guns.

loved my red rider bb gun. spent a lot of days wondering around our little 3 acre hill country lot. got myself into a little trouble killing cardinals and blue jays. my mom enjoyed watching them out in the yard. put a spider web in the outside pane of the back door, dad wasn't too pleased about that. got a stern talking to and a little more than that, too. good times ... boys will be boys, my mom always said. I held up my end of the bargain on that deal.

my dad also created a fun game ... he'd fill up an empty tall boy of miller high life with water, and I'd have to shot a hole in the bottom at close range then back up and try to see how many holes I could put in it before the water all leaked out.

I had one of those back in the '50s.

I got my red rider in 1946, Dad loaded it with bbs and I headed for the creek. Almost there and a big ole black racer snake go t in my way. Shot every bb I had in the gun and only stunned the snake so I grabbed the gun by the barrel and beat the snake to death. I destroyed my gun in less than 30 mins. after getting home with it. Two weeks later I got a new pump and did not beat up any snakes with this one.

Daisy Outdoor Products was founded to build and market windmills. They gave away a new BB gun with every purchase. The guns were such a hit, it changed the direction of the company.

Picturing this made me laugh. Good stuff!

I've got one haunting my garage. It is in pieces and probaly missing parts but I just can't convince myself to get rid of it. I would be happy to donate it to any restoration efforts.

Daisy pump was the first rifle I ever shot.
