50+ Year Wait To Get This One!

doc540 · August 10, 2013, 06:42 PM

My dad, at 92, finally handed down to me his Daisy Model 40 Defender BB gun. I think he got it in 1932.

Sling and bayonet are long gone, but it still shoots hard!

Wow what a beauty and a classic! That's probably one of the earlier BB guns ever made. That thing predates the red ryder

Thanks

Made them from 1916 to 1942.

Found a repro sling, but the repro bayonets are out of my budget for now.

Wow, that's the coolest thing I've seen on here in a long time!
