Hi, I just purchased two Daisy guns.
Both similar to the M1 carbine. One is a model 914 Range Rifle and the other an Powerline model 814. Both in good condition and shoot well. The 914 has it's sights replaced with a Daisy scope. I have heard that one or both are pretty rare because they were only made for about 1 year. I could not find them in the Blue Book, so I am not sure which is the rarer gun. If the model 914 was the rare one, and the 814 just another gun, I would consider taking the sights from the 914 to make it complete. Can you shed a little light on this for me/ thank you and regards, gkenny.

As far as I know the 914 is the more desirable of the two from a collector's standpoint. I know it's the one I wanted a while back. Below is what I had in my notes, much if not all of it you may already know but thought I'd put it out there anyway. Please understand this came from the interweb so I cannot vouch for the accuracy of the info.

All I would add is that.....to my knowledge.....both guns have the same power plant, so I'm not sure why there would be much difference in muzzle energy. In fact, but for the different stock configuration, I think they are the same gun.

All I'm for is the liberty of the individual.

Page 33 of the Daisy Airgun Collector's Guide says they were both made 1988-1989. Of course there is no price reference in that book.

LOL. Thanks.....I think. The name is Airitis, like "Air (There) it is. Not like Arthritis. Although the latter might be more appropriate. :-)
