PIZ Posted October 5, 2004 Posted October 5, 2004 I want to get my son a BB gun for X-mas and why not get him a Red Ryder BB gun? But do they actually carry the one Ralphie wanted and received on Christmas Story? You know: compass in the stock, this thing that tells time, etc.
KD in CA Posted October 5, 2004 Posted October 5, 2004 Do you mean the Official Red Ryder, carbine action, two-hundred shot range model air rifle? Great movie.
dib Posted October 5, 2004 Posted October 5, 2004 Perhaps this is what you're looking for. http://shop.store.yahoo.com/pentagondefense/noname56.html
PIZ Posted October 5, 2004 Author Posted October 5, 2004 Yeah, those are the ones I found. Is the "compass in the stock, and this thing that tells time" just add ons for the movie? What age were you when you got your first BB gun? My wife will probably kill me if I get my 5 year old one, even if I only plan on him using it when I am supervising him.
Gavin in Va Beach Posted October 5, 2004 Posted October 5, 2004 Better not get him one, he'll shoot his eye out!

Yeah I think I'd hold off. My son is 12 and I've just started taking him to the rifle range. I gave him my old .22 after a long talk about gun safety. He does however prefer his grandfather's (Dziadzi) magnum.
Mark VI Posted October 5, 2004 Posted October 5, 2004 Popguns. Start him out with a Beretta 687 for shooting clays. Cough up the $3,500.
IDBillzFan Posted October 5, 2004 Posted October 5, 2004 I remember the father in the movie winning a prize. It was a lamp shaped like a woman's leg with fishnet stockings on it. When the crate showed up on his doorstep marked "Fragile," he responds something to the affect of "Look. Fra-GEE-Lee. It must be from Italy."

The sooner they learn about safe gun handling the better. I got my son his first pellet gun when he was 6; he is now 10 and is shooting a 20 gauge. In fact he is very responsible and shoots quite well. He knows the first rule of guns is always safety first and foremost. He will also be going deer hunting with me this year and he will be carrying his own gun (of course he will be glued to my side).
