Help identifying airgun from a movie
« on: December 26, 2009, 01:59:32 PM »
I have looked but cannot find the model airgun used in the movie "Home Alone".  It looks very close to a Red Ryder, however it has pump action like the model 25.  

A video clip here http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=31139530 shows the gun.  Of course, with movies they might have modified it just to get that pump action for coolness.

Any help or ideas!
Thanks

If you pause the clip, you can see that it is a Red Ryder or a clone with the cocking ring cut off. Also when he cocks it, he pulls the forearm forward. I've never seen a BB Gun that cocks that way.

I could be wrong though!

Talking about airguns in movies......in the mid-70's (I think) there was a movie (Bless the Beasts and Children) about a bunch of boys in a Boy's Camp.  In one scene one of them shot out a tire of some bully's car with a "bb/pellet" gun with only one pump.  Don't know what bb gun was used....  Don't think they really shot at the tire....the bb/pellet would definitely bounce back!!!!

Yeah, movie prop, much like all those old 1873 Trapdoor Springfields Hollywood "converted" into flintlocks for a lot of the 1930's movies. I tried a Daisy pump BB gun (not a model 25 but the one with the pressed metal receiver and short stroke) and it was a bear to cycle. That kid would never have been able to flick - flick it like in the clip.

My best freind got one like that from a garage sale back around 1982 it didn't have any markings on it but it was a wickedly fast repeater as fast as you could pump and pull the trigger it would spit out a bb.It didn't have much power but it was a ton of fun.

I saw the movie again the other night and was thinking it was a Daisy model 572, but looking at the video clip I see that it isn't. I'm think it's just a prop.
