It looks well used. 8) As it should be.

Whoops.
Nope. It's a Daisy lever action, but not a Red Ryder. Wooden stock, but a "custom polymer" fore grip. (aka plastic). I believe it is very similar to the Red Ryder, based on the description (of the Red), but I can't find any literature or reference to this model anywhere. I actually have never seen another one like it. I'm sure my dad bought it at Kmart in Fairfax, VA about 1976
You dump a crap load of bb's through a hole near the "muzzle" and they are held in the outer "barrel"
jack the lever one time and it loads a bb and you fire. I could fire off shots really quickly with this sucker. Could hit a tin can at 100' 96/100 times. wore blisters on my hands cocking this thing a million times in my lifetime.
cocking the lever action loaded the bb and depressed an air piston (I guess) which fired the bb. Pretty neat actually. My friend had a crossman air rifle which was certainly more powerful, but I could get 5 shots off to his one.
I shot it this weekend. It still functions but not very powerful. If you've got good eyes, you can see the bb in flight leaving the gun. I'm not industrious enough to try and rebuild it....or even look for new piston or whatever, but would be nice.
So of course, 1 minute after I posted this, I found it on gunbroker.
