Daisy BB gun fun

I have gotten a lot of fun and enjoyment from my BB guns over the winter. Shooting in the shop has gotten me through the long cold of Iowa. I am also having a blast with restoring old Daisy BB guns. There are so many of them and parts are easy to find.

So now that I’m going outside I won’t be shooting them as much. I decided to do a couple projects. First I want to build a power house that shoots close to 400 fps.
And I want a custom stock set. I purchased this Model 111 so I can send it to Restomadaisy for a full customization. Stock and internals. Only problem is the gun I bought as a starting piece is in perfect condition.I won’t have it fire blued . The finish is to nice to mess with.
Even the stock and forearm are in great shape. Normally the they warp or crack. So I will use this set on one that I find later.

It will be a while as he has a year long backlog . I hope to have it back for next winter.

In the mean time I am going to do a full rebuild on a model 95 that is in rough shape.

I ordered a different gun to send out for a new stock and restoration .
First of all the one I got is way too nice to strip . Second it is not a Red Ryder. I want the curved cocking lever.
I needed to find a Red Ryder made in Plymouth, Michigan because of the metal trigger.

I found one that had been spray painted with a repaired stock. So I don’t feel bad about removing the paint and fire bluing the action.

This is what I’m sorta looking for when it’s all done. Raised cheek piece and long front forearm.
