Y’all Remember These Days..

... dadgum squirrels won’t so much as peek out of a nest around here anymore lol

Down here a kid and a pellet gun can earn a little money in a pecan orchard. Think one guy I know pays $2 a squirrel.

yep!

... I might ride my 2 over wannabe...farm em out like they did back in the day lol

I sent a buddy of mine home howling with one of them. His little Red Ryder was no match for it.

... I still have a bb in the top of my head that moves around every now and then... I would just cut it out.... but that’d be like losing a good memory lol

Lol, I think one of my bothers and a friend or two are still toting copper around from back in the day. We didn't take prisoners.

That explains a lot!!

He's even using the approved cocking technique lol. Man I shot a lot of BB's and pellets out of one of those

I remember that age. The ol man took my bb gun away for shooting the neighbors cats. Then I discovered how much fun a can of wd-40 and a cigarette lighter was. Got my bb gun back


Ol'dad

I spent my early years on a farm. Dad supplied the BBs, I took care of the rest. Frogs were my specialty.

Crossman 760 pump ? If I remember...it’s only been 50 years...maybe not...the crossman had a wood pump section...I think

.. lol... good to see you again in here Cattrax..... now show us a goat or something lol

. that ol wd 40 combined with a flame would make a Rambo sequel look like Sesame Street

No street lights ?

Those tater guns were something !

It was plastic.

We had battles and rule was only 2 pumps. 10 pumps and they would cry the whole way home lol

.... you’re thinking of that ol Benjamin Ness ... heck of a pellet gun ... my boy has the daisy power line... it’s a far cry from the Benjamin though lol

... or those crossmans may have been whittled out of wood back in your time lol

Yes I remember those days!
Black diamond co2 bb or pellets

Had a hole in my bedroom screen to shoot out of.

You know your BB or Pellet gun had some street cred....if it could go through one side of a metal trash can.

The kid I sent home crying was named Kevin. I'd hear a little p-tump and a couple seconds later I'd feel the hit. I finally saw him hiding behind a log. He had that thing elevated like a mortar. I took him across the chest. Game over.

We used to shoot birds and alligator lizards in the avocado orchards back in the day .

Can't remember the model .....it looked like a 30-30 lever

Thats a daisy powerline 880 if im not mistaken.

I killed my first squirrel at 25 yards with one of those!

The older 760's had wood stocks and forearms. Shot a lot of starlings with one of those around grandpa's chicken coop.

The new ones are plastic.

Anybody know if a rebuild kit is available for the older ones? I have grandpa's old one but it won't hold air.

I opened mine on Christmas morning 1980.... My dad showed me how load it and all the safety things. I promptly turned around and shot my sister right in the left sitting cheek. My dad then took that gun and proceeded to break it over my back. Had it all of 3 minutes.

Any speedloaders? Pour the BBs in your mouth and spray them down the tube.

Well, dang, I think you hold the record!

. I might ride my 2 over wannabe...farm em out like they did back in the day lol

I knew from the looks of ya you had to have some Mixican in you somewhere, now your raising migrant workers, lol

Thanks for the kind words Jtrap... it’s always nice hearing from you

Older kids always had the more powerful BB guns...young guys would aim and shoot and have to pick up their bb...cuz it rolled out of the barrel.
We stopped playing when one kid got pegged in the head...pellet gun.

I started with a red rider and a bazillian BB's later was given a Benjamin pellet gun, hours and hours of fun!

My last BB gun I got ...was the Daisy 5 shot semi automatic CO 2 rifle.....now that was fun !....( 69-70)

Those old Benjamins packed some punch when pumped up tight, not a lot different than a .22.

Tamed a few mean Leghorn roosters with one of them

Yep remember those days well.My grandsons carry on the tradition

We had them old Daisy Red Ryders.Pour half a pack of BBs in my mouth,then spit them into the gun.Quickest way to reload.Wish I had a dollar for every BB I swallowed.

Yep, shot a lot of them bb's at thing I shouldn't have...lol

Flat wore out a couple 760 pumpmasters and one 880 before I got my .22 rifle.

Anyone remember seeing the Daisy double barrel BB gun? A friend of mine had one and they're worth a bundle nowadays. I don't recall it being any more potent than the Red Ryder but it was a neat gun.
