Daisy Model 1938 Red Ryder BB Repeater Rifle

In the pantheon of air rifles, few names evoke the same sense of nostalgia and timeless appeal as the Daisy Red Ryder. Revered by generations since its introduction in 1940, this iconic BB gun has become a staple in youth shooting sports, immortalized in both comic books and classic holiday films.

The Daisy 1938 Red Ryder Youth Lever Action BB Air Rifle stands as a testament to enduring design and quality craftsmanship. This model retains all the hallmarks that have made it legendary: a solid wood stock and forearm paired with an authentic plastic cocking lever. The addition of a lariat ring adorned with a leather saddle thong only enhances its classic aesthetic.

Functionality is not sacrificed for style; this air rifle features an ambidextrous design powered by a reliable spring piston mechanism. It offers young shooters—or those simply young at heart—a smooth bore barrel capable of holding up to 650 BBs, ensuring prolonged enjoyment without constant reloading.

The Red Ryder’s specifications speak volumes about its capabilities: weighing just 2.20 pounds with an overall length of 35.4 inches, it's manageable yet substantial enough for accurate handling. Its maximum muzzle velocity reaches up to 350 feet per second (fps), while delivering precision through blade and ramp front sights coupled with adjustable open rear sights.

Daisy recommends this celebrated firearm for ages ten and older under adult supervision—an ideal tool for instilling safe handling habits early on while providing endless hours of backyard adventure within its impressive maximum shooting distance of approximately 195 yards.

At .177 caliber (4.5 mm) using steel smooth bore construction complemented by stamped metal receiver accents like crossbolt trigger block safety measures—the Red Ryder remains not merely an instrument but rather part tradition; one passed down from generation-to-generation sealing bonds over shared experiences behind each pull back upon that quintessential lever action sound echoing across time itself!
