Daisy 1894; thats it in the picture. Still shoots great after a few rebuilds. I was always quite happy that the 1894 was more powerful than the Red Riders. Followed by a 880 as I got older, followed by a bunch more as I got even older...
My first was definitely a daisy red Ryder like lever action. About 1970 but then I got a Sheridan in 1974. I still have it. Needs new seals. The memories that gun gave are irreplaceable.
