» Daisy Red Ryder: “Airgun Americana” by Nutnfancy Rare and onscure Americana

You will be hard pressed to beat this much fun for . The Daisy Red Ryder BB gun is pure “Airgun Americana.” It arrived on the American sporing scene in the 1930s and has been around ever since. Wisely Daisy has kept the Ryder in basically the same form: wood and steel. There are a few plastic parts but they are high strength polymer and don’t seem to detract from the lever gun format that is so attractive to us. The Red Ryder gets its name from the comic book cowboy from the 30s and it’s still a winner. Though it is lost on the newer generations, many of us grew up watching John Wayne, Clint Eastwood, Steve McQueen, Yule Brynner, Charles Bronson, and other western tough guys clean house with their lever guns. The Red Ryder captures this mystique and packages it into a fast firing, reliable, lightweight, accurate, and durable BB gun for both young and old. In 1938 the Red Ryder was a ground breaking design, setting new standards of excitement because of its repeat fire capability. Even today this simple, rapid fire BB rifle that needs no batteries, CO2 cartridges, multi-step loading procedures, or multiple pumps to keep it in the “fight.” It is simple and time proven. Add in a 650 shot BB reservoir and the fun will go on for hours (it does with the Nutnfancy crew…as shown!). Don’t expect high velocity from this little BB carbine however: my chrono work showed the guns achieving about 250 to 265 fps. Some may think this is much too low to achieve any accuracy or levels …

Great video, I like the whole video but I love the bits at the beginning and the end with your son, my dad bought me a Red Ryder when I was like 5, and I lost it along time ago, my wife finds out last Christmas about me losing it so she got me a 70Th anniversary model. BEST PRESENT EVER!!! even shot it in the snow outside in my pajamas, like a kid, and I am proud of it. and I am glad to see Nutnfancy likes the Red Ryders,
thanks for all of your videos and hard work, but extra props on this one!

15 people shot their eyes out

I hate the protectionist movement’s lie “You’ll shoot your eye out!”

Dude your a pretty cool guy. My dad would never do this.

My Red Ryder came with a cherry wood finish. Weird.

Can this kill birds?

In this video did you use pellets or BBs?

I got my Daisy Red Ryder today at Canadian Tire, although its not the best just remember, Take Pride, It’s a Diasy. :]

Amazing shot!!! Keep it up buddy!!!

they changed the cocking lever back to metal. epic win there daisy

F#@K it, I’ll buy one rather than some arrows for my Bear Super Grizzly

Love shooting these little things — so simple, yet loads of fun!

One thing though, I cannot shoot the army men. I spend to many happy hours as a kid with those little guys to turn on them like that. It would be an act of utter betrayal!
