I learned at a very early age, that you cannot spin and flip cock a Daisy Red Ryder BB gun.
Dern near broke my fingers.
ROFL!!
I didn't hurt myself, but I did try to do this when I was a kid as well. I wasn't successful either.

I named my Youngest Son after the Character that John Wayne played in the movie The Searchers. Anyone know my Sons name ?
I saw/read an interview with Connors in which he claimed to have modified the gun himself by adding a screw to the lever. It could be screwed in to fire the gun when the lever was closed or backed out so that the gun could be used as normal. The lever itself was normal--it wasn't a special design, and on the show, "The Rifleman" used the rifle as normal occasionally, indicating that it retained the capability to be used by pulling the trigger instead of by simply closing the lever.On the show the lever was designed to fire upon closing.

I didn't watch every single episode, so I can't say for sure what they said about the rifle. I can certainly tell you that the rifle wasn't always used in the rapid fire mode, it was fired on occasion normally. That is, it was cocked normally and then the trigger was pulled to fire the gun. If it was ever stated on the show that the gun always fired when the lever closed, that was a fairly major screwup on their part.The show stated that the rifle functioned as I described and was used in that manner.
Both of us knew exactly what we were talking about, and the proof is that the picture shows exactly what we said was true.Neither one of you know what you are talking about.
The lever did not fire the rifle, the screw they added fired the rifle.If the lever did not fire the rifle, why would they add something to it?
The rifle was also sometimes used as a normal rifle, which would be impossible if the lever, itself, operated the trigger.The show stated that the rifle functioned as I described and was used in that manner.
