The classic gun from the movie " Christmas Story" . This is the gun Ralph wanted. The Daisy Red Ryder Carbine Rifle BB Gun. This is 111 Model 40 from the 1940's. I think this is variation 4 due to the fixed rear site which would date it to 1946. This cool pics still works great and man is it sweet. Wood on wood with great detail....You'll shoot Ur eye out.
