Looks like Daisy is making a commemorative bb gun. I'm betting it's one you wouldn't want to let you kid shoot though. Notice they don't have a price listed.

Don't you think the Duke would rather have something out there his young fans could have and not feel guilty using?!

Just a simple phone call... the price is $295 plus shipping. And they ship UPS.

Bout what I figured...:glare:

For that price you could get your kid something more to shoot than a bb gun.

They probably figure posting the price will scare too many away but I wasn't going to give out my driver's license number just to get a quote.

Meh... if it's for kids it should be made affordable. And since DS is convinced I am stalking him, I will dress for the part.

That must be some BB gun for that price. Did you see this on their website ? That's where I'm going after I'm done here. Got to check this out. My brother has a boy turning 8, so he might be interested. Come to think of it I wonder what my old daisy is worth? Probably not much but than I've had it since I was 8.

I have a Red Rider commemorative edition Daisy BB gun that is hanging over my fireplace in the basement. I am not sure what that is worth but I am sure its not worth no $300. I would be careful though, if this is not listed on the Daisy website it maybe a scam by a 3rd party trying to make money for using Duke's 100th B-Day.

Viper, I think Daisy is only acting as the manufacturer. This other outfit is handling distribution. You won't find the gun on Daisy's web site.

I would think that if it was something such as a special edition like this that Daisy would be promoting the heck out of it.

I did check there site and they have nothing in regards to the gun. I also checked out the "where to buy" section and there distributors don't list the gun either. It may be legit but it sure looks "fishy".

The guy on the phone sounded like he answered for more than one company. The guns are numbered and come with a COA so they are collectible just a little high priced for a BB-gun.

Still, if that BB Gun (and the site listing it) is legit, that is a beautiful Daisy. I used to have one and must have fired that thing at hundreds of toy soldiers nailed on the fence in our backyard.

To give some perspective on price. I bought (about 15 years ago) an all-matching M1 Garand for that price. I bought my first Walther P-38 for that price. These Walthers can command more than a grand on todays market.

That $295.00 is about half the price I paid for my S-42 K-98 Mauser Sniper variant.

Hey Viper you might just be surprised at what that BB gun of yours is worth. My little brother left me a message on the answering machine and told me my Daisy is worth $275-$325. And mines a plain jane. I don't know where he got his info, but sounds kind of high to me. But then again I might have some extra beer fund moola I did'nt know about!!!!!
Anyone know where you can check this stuff out?

Ringo,

I wish I'd gotten an M1 back when my college buddies did. Could have had it for $168. The only problem is I didn't have $168.

Hi Tbone--I hear ya on that. I was a poor college student not too many years ago and barely was able to pay the bills--let alone buying rifles.

One thing I can suggest to you if you are interested? is that the U.S. Govt is selling off their Garands at I think $300.00 each one per household. The bad thing is, is that the serial numbers are not matching numbers. Other than that, these make great hunting rifles and are in good condition. I know a local guy here who puts on gunshows who has a mint all matching M1 Garand for sale--$3,500.00. I saw that beauty about 6 years ago--then wa spriced at $3,000. It has O.D. Green parkerization. I had a Remington Rand Colt 45 (which had been LtGen Francis P. Hardaways gun. Hardaway had been an Artillery General serving with MacArthur. I wish I had never got rid of that gun.
