Looks like the actual barrel is missing. Kind of odd that your grandfather thought it was dangerous. Wonder what he did with it when he was a kid that made him feel that way.
BTW, there's a video on youtube about the airgun Lewis & Clark took on their famous expedition. It was basically a PCP. The Red Ryder's compared to modern airguns. It's more like an airsoft pistol that shoots steel BBs. Check out the big bore guns that are being made now, designed for taking down large game.
i have the very first daisy from 1800 something....poor thing looks rough but its really hard to cock the barrel down they must have put a big spring in those types back then i found a lead shot in it..i thought they were copper or steel..
Hi I just saw a shot tub for these older red ryders on ebay. It's sitting at $20.50. I think you just stick that in there and you should be able to get to shooting that classic. I wish I had one of the older ones. Mine is a 60th anniversery from 1998, they just dont hit as hard as the old ones did.
Hello Friend I could say that so durable are parts of this rifle a friend tells me that the lever with which loads is very fragile and falls easily I can say about their resistance thanks
@pressrolls Haha you're calling him an internet loser when you have videos that are just nothing but shit haha I think you need to get a life my friend :)
have u ever thought of having the firing mech replaced by a gunsmith? most gunsmith's could probably fix it , then it could stay in the family and be a working model . just a thought . i like the vid as well ....an informative trip down memory lane .
I have not seen a vantage one in ages, if you want to get it working you could get the parts it is not hard, they still use the same parts today as they did back then.
@sk8erchik1015 There should be a model and lot number on the top rear of the barrel. Get those numbers, then go to the Daisy web site. They should be able to tell you. Hope this helps.
if your going to satruty anything then say the truth and he needs to watch the movie 100 more times because he doesnt have a clue about what he is talking about
You'd really have to lob it to get it anwhere near 100 yards. Shooting it straight ahead, the bb will hit the ground in 20 or 30 yards. Lawyers write those "maximum range" disclaimers on the box. Research some bullet ballistics, you'll learn a bunch. Oh and buy the bb gun too.
@robtran My crossman Storm XT with 1000fps will send the bullet flying in one direction so its very accurate and the bullet will be innacurate after about 1000 yards (or so i was told not be a dick if im wrong)
P.S. commpressed air guns are the most inaccurate
@robtran no the right pellet guns can be accurate up to 200 yards i shoot my gamo big cat up to 170 yards and its not even that powerful of a rifle, a air gun like an airfoce condor has no problem be lethal to small game up to 200 yards, ill post a video of 170 yard shooting soon as i get a better camera
Actually i think you can buy a firing mechanisim for the red ryder because my friend got one from walmart that had no firing mechanisim and then he went online and bought one. So i think you can if you manage to find one then it may be worth something.
Not sure, though other viewers have written in that they're pretty good for close range target shooting. When I was a boy this one could hit a target dead-on at about 30 feet, and it was only using a single cocks worth of air pressure.
English major of course. What complete idiot moronic Mensa applicant reject believes if a gun don't fire it's not a gun. Go back to Nascar hillbilly pond scum.
so please you liberal fuck. English major or w.e? here is websters defination of a gun.
1 a: a piece of ordnance usually with high muzzle velocity and comparatively flat trajectory b: a portable firearm (as a rifle or handgun) c: a device that throws a projectile
Jersey sucks man i live here and I always wanted an air gun but now i can't have one because a bb gun is considered a firearm here so i have to wait until I'm 18 to get a permit. Im 16 so almost there :P lol. ANYWAYS..... lol liberals fucked this state up !
I do have a orginal Red Ryder from the first year of manufacture (1940). Wood stock and forearm, gold barrel bands, adjustable sight and cast iron cocking leaver. Yours is from about 1953/54 Daisy now sells a commerative Christmas Story Red Ryder only 1,500 were made.
A wood stock and forearm?! That must have been pretty damn slick! Actually my dad got his in 1949, for his 8th birthday. Plastic stock, no wood forearm, and pot metal manufacture. But it does have the same model and lot number as the gun featured in "A Christmas Story", which is pretty cool (look up thread a ways and you'll see a nice comment from a gent who told me the numbers).
Sorry, but I don't have that kind of expertise. If you read through all the comments, there are a couple of people who seem to know that sort of thing. You could contact one of them.
Check the barrel. Was it made in Plymouth Michigan, or Rodger's Arkansas?
If it's from Plymouth and in as good of condition as you say, it's worth anywhere from $100 to $500, depending upon the manufacturing date. If Rodgers, maybe $75-150, again depending upon date. But those are rough figures.
Once you have the serial number, contact either the Plymouth Historical Museum, Plymouth Michigan, or the Daisy Museum in Rodgers Arkansas and they should be able to help with the date.
my dad gave me his, hes now 46, and im 15 so i think mine is newer then yours, but i might make a video of me shooting it. me and my friends play around with it all the time :)
I added it as a reply to another, VERY popular video. Also, I think the word has spread about it. There are a lot of people out there who collect these old, toy bb guns.
No, it's a family heirloom. My dad got it from my grandparents and played with it as a boy, as did I, and my son (if I ever have one) will play with it too.
I got mine in the early 90's and it has a wood stock and forearm. It's some kind of anniversary one though, it came with a comic book and had some coin thing stamped into the stock but..... I sawed it off trying to be the terminator when I was little. Now it's covered in rust and has a sawed off stock but it's still extremely accurate.
I'd buy it

Check the barrel. Was it made in Plymouth Michigan, or Rodger's Arkansas?
If it's from Plymouth and in as good of condition as you say, it's worth anywhere from $100 to $500, depending upon the manufacturing date. If Rodgers, maybe $75-150, again depending upon date. But those are rough figures.
Once you have the serial number, contact either the Plymouth Historical Museum, Plymouth Michigan, or the Daisy Museum in Rodgers Arkansas and they should be able to help with the date.
