Daisy Buck Jones Model 107

[TRICKSTER]

The Daisy Buck Jones Model 107 were made from 1934 to 1942. My dad bought this one new when he was a teenager in the late 1930's. He passed it on to me when I was a teenager in the 1970's.
The last time I saw it was sometime around 1978.
A few years later after I got married and moved out my dad asked me about it as he was sure that I had taken it when I moved. Neither of us knew where it had went.
Fast forward to last week. I get a call from my nephew who was cleaning out my parents old house getting it ready to sell. He tells me he found my old BB gun up in the rafters in the garage covered under about an inch of dust.

So after 40+ years of being misplaced, here it is. Cleaned off the dust, oiled it, and it still works. It will now occupy a space on the wall in my Man Cave.

Way Kewl Tricky.

Glad your nephew recovered it for you.

I have a later version of Md 107 with plastic stock and forearm. That my Dad found in the attic of a garage he was remodeling for a customer. Along with a Type 30 Arisaka. Widow lady who hired Dad, wanted nothing to do with either. So all these years later they are still mine.

Is that a sundial on the stock?

You should have hid it in the rafters.

Nice! They don't make them like that anymore. Looks like it could easily do the job on pesky gophers or grasshoppers in the yard.
