which Daisy did I have??

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   ....when I was a kid,(just a few years ago), I had a Daisy Pump Airgun, but I have never seen another one like it.
     It had the synthetic stock and forearm, with adjustable sights.  The pump stroke was a straight-pullback, without the elbow type of bend in the actuating rods.  The stroke was about 4 or 5 inches, IIRC.  The forearm was forward of the action only about 6 inches, or so, much like a pump shotgun. 
    The endcap on the barrel was a flat-fitting type, instead of the overcap type seen on the lever action Daisys.  By flatfitting, I mean that the cap set flush against the end of the barrel.  Capacity was somewhere around 500 BB's.
     I gave it to a friend of the family, after I outgrew it.  Where it went from there, I have no idea.  I have been told since then, that it is a rare type, and very collectible.  I can't recall the model number.
     If I had known that, I would have hung onto it.  Also, I would have liked for my two sons to grow up with it.
     Can anyone help me out, with a bit of info??  Then I can kick myself all over again, for getting rid of it!!!

	Yes that is probably what you had. I seen one on Ebay a week ago in box selling for $100 (before it got kicked, as they are not allowed on Ebay). I have only seen 2, the one on ebay that I saw, and one Buck Jones. They seem very hard to find.

	OUR LOCAL ANTIQUE MALL HAS ONE HERE IN YUMA,AZ. FOR $65.00 FINISH LOOKS GOOD. THE STOCK IS BADLY WARPED AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE EARLY PLACTIC STOCKS ON DAISYS HAD A TENDENCY TO WARP.

	Gee if the stock wasnt warped I'd like to buy it! Has anyone ever found a way to prevent that from happening to them in the future?

	I THINK THAT MANY OF THE PLASTIC STOCKS WARPED ON THE 50'S DAISY'S WHEN THEY WERE PUT AWAY IN STORAGE STANDING ON THE BUTT STOCK.
