Hey everyone its been a while but i did want to let you know that i did hear back from the owners of the screen used christmas story rifle and i have recieved detailed pics , the rifle is a 111 -40 with an iron cocking lever , modified by daisy with a buck jones compass and sundial etching on the stock . In my opinion thats pretty dang cool .

Nice work with the bb gun. I have two of the same model that I had to completely rebuild. I had to re-paint both of them and rebuild the original stock on one but the other was still good with the logo on the left. Both had the logo on the left and were built in Plymouth. Neither had a registration number or oil here holes. Had to replace both sets of leather seals and file the tip of the air tubes because they were mushroomed. Had to replace both springs with cobalt 327 super springs. I would never E V E R sand off the names. A couple of the bb guns in my collection have initials carved or scratched in the finish but nothing that good. Very interesting. Thanks.

I wish so bad they would bring back the buck jones even a plan 107 would be cool

I have the same air rifle that you do my dad died and I got his Red Ryder the only thing that's missing is the bracket that goes around the end of the stock up front up front

@@TheRandomMechanic I have the most rare model 111_40 s they ever made a painted black 1954 the hardest of all to find red Ryder even more than the 1940 copper banded 111-40 I built it up it shoots a little over 400 fps with a stock air tube and a 327 cobalt spring and new seal is all I did to it she's mean as hell lol

The last name could be naloin. Which pronounce nolan. Which is Irish.

[@TheRandomMechanic]

hmmm thats something to look into , there is an s so it would be naloins , there is a distinctive dash between johannna and loins i suppose it could just be a random gouge in the finish throwing us off , thanks for the different perspective we never thought of that
