I agree it would be hard to justify for many but I'd imagine there's not a whole lot of profit in selling the entire set for $50.00... but it sure would make for a unique gun. I hope he comes back w/some more details on materials. The durability of the lever is of particular interest to me, seeing as how my guns do have more cocking effort than a stocker. It's nothing the factory levers cannot handle, but to be honest, the Daisy levers- even the plastic ones- have held up to my modifications w/o complaint, with one exception and that was a gun I had totally maxed out the preload on and plus was using a heavier rate spring from a Crosman/Sheridan Cowboy.

 

That gun made 350 fps w/a 3/32" ID air tube (way too small in other words, w/the right air tube it would have been good for 400-plus fps), but it was decidedly unhappy at that state of tune. What ended the experiment was actually the trigger failing to reset but the plastic lever did wear more than I would have liked..

Some time when I have time I intend to bore out the airtube on my play RR.  Your thread on RR mod was great!  Thank you for sharing that journey!

But then again" the world it is a changing," room for every body. It's nice to see the number of 

new members on this forum Daisy Talk.

Ejwills.

I agree, I want only the original Red Ryder design, I would have no interest or desire to modify the gun.

I have several Red Ryder guns, including the first model copper bands, and transition guns as well as other Daisy guns in my collection. 

The more original the better for me.

ETA- Was just at http://www.tgwms.com" rel="nofollow - www.tgwms.com  to have a look-see and I'm glad there are several different kits being offered. Too bad the $25 set doesn't come with the cheek riser but maybe $omething can be worked out to make that happen.

And Cobalt, I couldn't agree more about the new Chinese guns being fair game!  I wouldn't dream of messing with my 111-40s, but modern RRs are cheap and plentiful.

Oohhh I just noticed they are available in Desert Tan and OD Green too! 

 

 

 

When I communicated w/Trevor re the furniture, the deal is that he's gaging interest before committing to a production run, and obviously that makes sense. The parts shown are 3D printed prototypes (ain't technology great?) and from what I gathered final details like removable or permanent stock cheek riser and I'm sure other things aren't yet finalized (I voted for a removable/replaceable cheek riser and he's also leaning that way I believe). I mentioned two other forums where he could ask about interest in the parts. So I'm hoping that there will be a run of the parts but it could be a ways down the road. 

 

He said the lever will be made of glass filled nylon and it would be able to handle the added cocking effort from the spring preload. I estimated it to him to be 30% more than unmodded.
