Restomod Daisy Update for 15 AUG 19



Greetings All,

It's been quite a while since I posted here at Bludgeon & Skewer so it must be time for an update!


Here's a trio Restomod Daisy Model 1938's. Note the Tyrolean-ish buttstock. Keen to look at and shoot but difficult to make. 


I've acquired a goodly collection of Daisy Model 1938 Red Ryder's and a smattering of Daisy #111 Model 40's and have been converting them to Rest-O-Mod Model Mark 1's and well as a foray into the new standard, the Mark 2.


The Mark 2 features all the design elements of the Mark 1's with the addition of a new factory Model 25 50 round spring loaded shot tube and the necessary mods for it to fit these older model Daisy's. The plus side is the elimination of the need for gravity to position the BB in the chamber and the plus plus side is that the copper muzzled Mark 2's are running at an average of 35 FPS faster than the stock "split" shot tubes are capable of.


The ready rack is getting packed again so it might be time for a "Blow the Dust Off" sale.
