How to Replace a Daisy Red Ryder Stock

The Daisy Red Ryder BB gun was developed in 1938. It was modeled after a cowboy's iconic lever-action brush gun, and is still sold in 2011. The Red Ryder BB gun was featured in the 1983 motion picture, "A Christmas Story," in which the lead character's only wish for Christmas was to receive a Red Ryder BB gun. The Red Ryder frequently becomes worn over time, and requires a new stock.

Things You'll Need

• Screwdriver
• Replacement stock

Instructions

1. Unload the BB gun completely. Inspect the weapon to ensure that no ammunition is present.

2. Remove the top screw on the rear receiver. This is the point at which the stock meets the metal.

3. Remove the two side-stock screws that hold the stock on the receiver. The screws are located on both sides of the weapon.

4. Unscrew the lower pin-bolt from behind the trigger. Pull the stock off of the weapon.

5. Set the new stock on the weapon; line up the screw and bolt holes. Reverse the process to replace the bolt and screws.
