Kids are young and my old full size ten pump was just too big to properly shoulder. I looked for the shortest LOP BB gun and found this Daisy Buck about a year ago. A wile back PSA had the Truglo on sale so I grabbed one for fun and shenanigans. I was going to weld pic rail but only found cheap aluminum so that got bolted on with one half using the stock screw.
Bad thing is the low power makes it more dangerous in a way. Damn bb’s will bounce off cans sometimes.  Attached FileKnife added for the grownups. |

I recently refreshed the springs/seals on an old silver streak. Shoots more accurately and the fps increased.
Maybe you can find a similar kit to refresh the old gal. Looking great though! |

The Daisy Buck is the BB gun I started my boys on when they were little. Their first rifles. I was going to start them on a Red Ryder but the Buck was smaller and fit them better.
I haven’t told them but I still have those old Bucks stored away. Someday I’ll surprise them with their old rifles for Christmas or something. |

It was like that for us for a long time, lost my wife when they were little and raised them myself. Now they’ve both been in the military, one is going to school at NYU and the other is staying with me for now until he moves to start at OSU in the fall. It goes by fast. |

I discovered a trick years ago. Not useful on bb guns, more for pellet rifles. If you grease your pellets they can break the sound barrier. Sounds like a 22.

There is an extra power spring kit available for the Red Ryder, IIRC it just about doubles the fps. Same spring would probably work in the Buck.

I’m not proud to admit this but for a while in my late 20s I lived on some rural land right beside a river. I might have thrown a lot of bud light bottles in that river and shot them with a red ryder BB gun. Probably more bottles would have sunk before getting to the a gulf I’d I’d put a red dot on it.

(1911 lookalike with spring piston action and 2" tipup barrel). We're talking something like 180fps here. BBs were like tracers, you could watch them home in on the target. I shot plastic Solo cups in my basement shooting gallery, and the Solo cups could shoot back. Fortunately I already wore glasses. |

I cut the stock down on a Daisy for the kids when they were young. I also bought another one for when they got older.

That's cool. Very much like the one I got on my 10th birthday back in '74, although mine had a plastic stock, no forend, just like yours. It wasn't long before my inquisitive mind wondered what would happen if you cocked the lever, left it down and fired it that way. I found out. I understand there's a safety on them now, ha ha. I put thousands of BBs through that thing before I moved up to a Ted Williams branded pump BB/pellet gun a year or so later.

The power upgrade would make it safer. It’s for the children! Maybe a clamp on bipod and light?
