Dave, you got it, more kids shooting is a good thing.
The pump held 50 in the tube you threaded in the barrel. Loading the tube one be one took some time. The pump broke down in two. I remember going to the hardware store and buying BB's over the counter, I think I was 8 or 9 at the time. Those were the days.
I've been to some estate sales and found out that their are BB gun collectors and that some of those old Daisy's bring some serious money.....Frank
