Daisy Outdoor Products Model 1938 Red Ryder BB Gun
From its beginnings back in the 1940s to the cult classic Christmas movie, the Red Ryder Lever Action Carbine is the stuff dreams are made of. The Daisy Red Ryder is perfect for teaching gun safety and marksmanship due to its relatively low velocity (350 feet per second) and manual crossbolt safety.

I recently purchased the Daisy 1938 Red Ryder Fun Kit air rifle, and it has exceeded all my expectations. This classic air rifle brings back so many nostalgic memories, and now I get to share that joy with my kids.The quality of the Red Ryder is outstanding. It's well-built, sturdy, and has a nice weight to it, making it feel substantial in hand. The lever action is smooth and easy to operate, which is perfect for younger shooters who are just learning. The accuracy is impressive, and it shoots consistently, making target practice a lot of fun.The fun kit is a great value, as it comes with everything you need to get started. The safety goggles are a nice addition, ensuring that safety is prioritized right from the beginning. The included targets and BBs are perfect for immediate use, providing hours of entertainment.This air rifle is not only a fantastic way to teach kids about shooting and firearm safety but also a great way to bond over a shared activity. The Red Ryder is truly a timeless piece, offering a perfect blend of fun and tradition. I highly recommend the Daisy 1938 Red Ryder Fun Kit to anyone looking for a high-quality, enjoyable, and safe air rifle experience.

This is going to sound crazy but here goes. We have over an acre. We also have very big dogs! (wait...no animal cruelty) I use a BB gun to get their attention-THEY ARE NOT HIT WITH THE BB's. The old BB gun (also a Daisy....was old & got dropped) It broke so we were looking for a specific replacement. Accurate, low velocity (so no one gets hurt) & this model is perfect. It loads with many more BB's than the older model & it "pumps" differently. Perfect velocity for our use (we also show grandkids how to shoot & never ever ever point a gun/rifle at a person/animal) Perfect for getting introduced to the proper way to handle a weapon & teaching accuracy. It comes with safety glasses & targets. I also used to have issues with the neighbors dogs but all animals have heard the clicking of the loading of the rifle & the neighbors dogs leave the fence line & our dogs immediately head for the house. DOGS HAVE NEVER BEEN HIT WITH BB'S. I have to stress that because never underestimate your weapon & a BB rifle can be dangerous if not handled correctly. Happy target practice everyone!

If you need to protect against the masked intruder of Black Bart or others, this might just be your gun. But seriously, I wanted to teach a 10 year old neighbor boy how to shoot and this was the gun I bought to teach him. It was much like the original and it shoots surprisingly straight and on target. It's a great way to teach a young shooter how to safely handle a firearm and the proper methods of aiming, the shooting position, target acquisition and gently pulling the trigger instead of snapping it.I was disappointed to find the cocking lever of the gun is plastic instead of the metal from when I was a child, but one can order the metal handle and replace it for less than $8 if that is important to you. After using the gun for a few hundred rounds, I have no reason to fear the cocking levers failure. Basically, you forget about it after awhile. But it just doesn't seem right for a plastic cocking lever, on the other hand, I have many composite real firearms so maybe this is a bit hypocritical on my part.All in all, a great kit for the money. I really wish the gun was still made in the USA and I would pay more, even 50% more for this to be an American made tradition, instead of another China import. I would bet the traditional gun enthusiast who have grown up with Daisy brand and who somehow didn't shoot our eyes out, would largely agree with me that they would pay more for the gun to have it be made in the USA, I mean, it's in the mid $30 dollar range on AMazon and the local Farm Store was selling it for $54 and it was the same kit.........Shoots straight, sights were decent for the quality of the weapon. Make sure to oil the gun with gun oil and treat it with some basic respect and it should last. The purpose of this BB gun it to teach fundamentals or to shoot paper targets. Its wonderful for those. It's a fine instructional weapon for the beginner.For the money, it's hard to beat. It's just sad that one more American Icon is now a China made product.

OK. This little Red Ryder BB gun is not going to set any accuracy records or take down any wild beasts. But even for an adult, it's a heck of a lot of fun to shoot and it is actually reasonably accurate for a low power, smooth bore gun. I can get groups of an inch or two at 20 feet from a standing position.My gun arrived in excellent condition- thanks UPS- and so far I have not had any problems with it. It appears to be well made, even though it is now made in China. (Really now Daisy, would it have been that much more expensive to make it here and employ US workers?) The gun is all metal except for the front sight, trigger and lever that are made of a tough plastic material that should hold up well. However, Daisy does offer a replacement metal lever for $3 dollars plus shipping. The stock is wood and nicely finished. It is somewhat undersized for an adult, but still useable. The sights are not the greatest. The rear metal sight is not adjustable for windage and the shiny metal is somewhat reflective making it difficult to see clearly in bright light. Some people have painted the rear sight with a flat black paint to cut down on the reflections.Still, all in all, a really nice little gun and especially well suited for indoor shooting. Highly recommended.
