Great guns, the second one up is an earlier variant, over 80 yrs. lots of fun to shoot and a breeze to work on.

Yes the bottom gun is a Buck Jones, still shoots through a can at 30 ft.. The next is a 1934 model 25 with no engraving, a 1936, and the top is one of the first painted in Plymouth in 1953. That plastic stock 53 shoots extremely hard, they have an 8" spring in them. I like these guns, your 74 looks pretty good. |

It was given to me by a guy at work, and was in pretty bad shape. The upper part has been repainted, and the slide parts are original finish. The hunting scene was the hardest part. I got the design from the internet and some self-adhering decal material from Hobby Lobby. Not a perfect restoration, but then I'm not a collector. A little piece of history that shoots and I'm happy. |
