I was at a barn sale this past weekend and actually saw, held and fired a fully functional Red Rider BB gun.

It was priced at $24 and I struggled with the dilemma to buy it or not.

In the end I figured I had no good use for it except for nostalgia...so I passed on it. But it was a very cool thing. Near mint condition too.

Mine sits by the front door. I shoot it all the time. We've even been talking about starting a Red Rider BB Gun club in the neighborhood just for kicks and grins. Everybody has one around here.

They still make them

” The Red Ryder BB Gun is a BB gun made by Daisy Outdoor Products and introduced in 1938 that resembles the Winchester rifle of Western movies. Named for the comic strip cowboy character Red Ryder (who also appeared in numerous films between 1940 and 1950, and on television in 1956), the BB gun is still in production despite the fact that the comic strip was cancelled in 1963.”
