One more Daisy

[Ulverston]

Hi Again,
whilst Ive been on here tonight a neighbour has brought his "air rifle" over in the hope of finding its value. It is a Daisy "underlever" he swears it fires shot out of it that he used to load out of a tube! I am somewhat doubtful of this as the gun makes a "bang" when it is fired. Has anyone got a date or even a value for this that I can show him tomorrow or in the week?
Thanks-I realise that this maybe a bridge too far!

member brdrew is yer man for all things like this I suspect, a really nice guy to deal with as well, and I am sure he would not mind you sending him a PM about this....he will probably want to buy it though

Thanks for that I will track this man down for info if nothing else!

Hello
Brian here the daisy collector, what he has there is a model 660 I think
which is just a pop gun, dating from the 70's.
Hope that helps.

My neighbour got it one christmas-any idea of its age? The fellow is probably in his late 60s. Thanks

Hi Brian..is that the one that you put oil in and it makes a bang, smoke and a ricochet noise......my old swede has been paying me up recently, and I cant remember some things.... but I definately remember having a gun like that in the late 1960's.

Hi Brian.. is that the one that.....(see what I mean)

Hi this looks like the Daisy 660 Buntline made during the 60s 70s era, have a couple of these that have a crude open port piston & spring system, pushing out a cork, I would doubt FAC limit.

But a nice item, getting hard to find.

Cheers Glynn.

Not FAC.......Did you not get the daisy update on the .30 herrett wildcat coversion they were offering if you bought 200 tubes of golden bullseyes?

Hello Eddie
Yes it's the model 660, made in the early 70's, some had the richochet sound
also added a few drops of oil to make it smoke, just a pop or cork gun.
Value in the States very poor as there are a lot out there.
Have been talking to a seller who has 4 of these to sell, if anyone wants to buy a load of Daisys (tinplate and BB) I can put you on to him.
He wants to sell the lot in one hit (36) to many for my collection.
Good luck
Brian

Hi Brian...only 36.I am sure you must have a tiny bit of space left!.....would take you a while to sneak that lot in though.......P.S. the missus says hello!

Hello Edd
The condition of them was a bit ropey been around a while with out any care and attention, Oh I forgot to say Model 40 arrived yesterday(Magpie).
We managed to do a deal, not bad condition needs some TLC.( got in through
without any backlash from her in doors)
Give my best to your good lady
Good hunting
Brian
