1942 Daisy 102 36 backporch plinking

[Septicdeath]

Plymouth Michigan marked Daisy No. 102 Model 36 with a nickel finish. They were manufactured between 1941 & 1942, then again between 1945 & 1947. It features a wood stock, stepped barrel and a 500 shot gravity fed magazine. 177 BB caliber, lever action, 500 shot repeater. This is a steal, cast-iron and wood BB gun

The Daisy no. 101 and 102 are “Depression Era” guns that were first made in 1933. They were just the Markham King 2233 gun re-branded as a Daisy no. 101 model 33. The 500 shot no.102 was also released in 1933. Both guns were reissued with longer barrels in 1936 and were named “Model 36”. The shot tubes on the later 1936 models were removable the no.102 Model 33 which was peened and not removable.

Professor,

Thanks for another great look back. Buddy of mine had one of these, but not in nickel. Shot the same as far as accuracy and speed. He was kind enough to share but I wasn't able to hit much. Agree, that nickel finish and wood stock makes for a pretty gun. Appreciate both the advance write-up and double close-up view format, hope you continue using it. Thanks again, your dedication and devotion to our sport is most admirable.

My 102 was made in the late 60s early 70s. Blued body, removable tube, and plastic buttstock. After 50 some years, the spring is now in need of replacement. Not too bad for a stamped body plinker.
