50+ Year Wait To Get This One!

My dad, at 92, finally handed down to me his Daisy Model 40 Defender BB gun. I think he got it in 1932.

Sling and bayonet are long gone, but it still shoots hard!

Wow what a beauty and a classic! That's probably one of the earlier BB guns ever made. That thing predates the red ryder

Thanks

Made them from 1916 to 1942.

Awesome Doc. Post a picture when you get the sling and bayonet.

You'll put your eye out.

Awesome man. That is a cool piece of American history to have and sounds like a piece of family history for you AD well. Congrats!

haha, a bayonet on a bb gun? That is friggin' AWESOME!

Found a repro sling, but the repro bayonets are out of my budget for now.

 

[publius]

Wow, that's the coolest thing I've seen on here in a long time!
