I think the year was 77 or 78 it was a Daisy Buck Jones model one pump with compass and sun dial on the stock. It wasn't new but I sure had many hours of fun with it.

Air Arms would like to know - Do you remember your first air rifle?
- Thread starter Airgun Nation
- Start date
Same, except I got mine around 1980.My first gun was a Daisy 1894, lever action, in 1965.
Everyone else had a red Ryder. I shot it until the bb's barely made it out of the barrel. I never considered repairing it. Grandpa gave me a nice garage sale red Ryder with a $2 or $3 price tag written on tape still on it, and I was back in the game

My first air rifle is a 1934 Buck Jones. I had this since I was 8 or younger but I lost the shot tube. So it just was kept on the gun rack as a decoration piece really. I shot my 1894 all the time.
But here is the first air gun I ever hade completely functional and shooting well with all original parts except a shot tune I finally found after years of hunting.

I still own it. Benjamin 392 was the first rifle in the 90s. I call the pic the first and the last. Last is a lie.

I was a little later than that, but I do know a little dab will do ya, if you use Brylcream.

Benjamin 600 Automatic….was at my Grandparents farm in my Dad’s old bedroom. My grandmother said I could have it, if it was ok with my Dad. About 1967-68…still have it, although it doesn’t hold air anymore. If anyone has a lead on someone who might repair it, please let me know. John

My experience was exactly like the move a Christmas story. After all the presents were opened on Christmas Day. My father said to me. Did you get everything you wanted. I replied yes but I really wanted a BB gun. “Well’” did you look behind thr tree … I see something there. And ther it was. A daisy model 1892 octagon barrel BB gun. I think I was 10 … still have it. And about 30 other Airguns now.

About 1948 on my birthday I got a Daisy model 25 and living on a farm wore it out shooting pests and targets shooting. Charles

Considering it was 70 years ago, and I was less than two years old, I don't remember it. However, I have irrefutable proof of it in this photo of me and big brother Kim...
Dated 1954!
