Kids were asking for BB guns for Christmas long before Ralphie’s loving, lisping, Red Ryder-centric rants featured prominently in the Christmas classic A Christmas Story.

These 1938-design air rifles will thrill your child and provide you with a safe opportunity to teach him both how to use a gun and to be responsible and safe with one.

The Red Ryder BB gun has lever-cocking action and a 650-shot capacity, and sports a gleaming, polished stock. Pink-lovers do not have to be left out of the fun, since there is an updated alternate to the cherrywood-colored original.
