His design is 100 years old this year. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daisy_Model_25 _________________ ¡Listo! ¡Apunte! ¡Fuego!

Buck Jones on the bottom? _________________ ¡Listo! ¡Apunte! ¡Fuego! Model 107 Buck Jones Special   Posted: Wed Feb 05, 2014 6:47 am CENTURION Member Joined: 18 Jan 2013 Posts: 71 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.   Posted: Wed Feb 05, 2014 11:07 am Slavia Moderator Joined: 31 Mar 2008 Posts: 4382 Location: Waseca, Minnesota, USA 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. _________________ ¡Listo! ¡Apunte! ¡Fuego!
