If I ever owned one of those I don't recall it. I got my first Daisy when I was 4 years old. It was given to me by the son of a co-worker and friend of my dad's. It did not work tho what caused it to not work has long ago been lost to the sands of time. Still it got me interested in having one that did so I asked Santa for one for Christmas and got it.

I don't know the model # of the one I got that year for Christmas but it was a lever action similar to the Red Ryder and might have been the RR gun. I was so young and weak at the time I was not even able to cock the gun so had to have one of the adults or my older sister who was four years my senior to do that for me. I'd run inside and get it cocked then go out and shoot and come back to have it cocked again.

I'm sure they tired of that long before I did and eventually was taught to put it barrel down and to lean on that lever with all the might I had and as much of my weight as I could and finally was able to cock it for myself and got in a lot more shooting then. Yeah I can recall a time or two that lever didn't full cock and wow can it slap back fast and hard in such a situation. More than once it mashed my hand but I learned to avoid that and keep my hands inside the lever.

Back then the cello packs of bbs cost a penny and I gathered up drink bottles for the deposit and sold scrap iron for money to keep me shooting. When I was really flush with money I could afford a huge cardboard tube of bbs for a dime.
