Identify on old airgun

[lsguinn]

I’m searching for information from collectors or old cooters like me. Back in the late 40’s my parents brought me an airgun who’s make and model went the way of my memory years ago. It was a fixed barrel under leaver pump design with a .25 (or maybe larger caliber) smooth bore barrel that had a screw-in brass tube for shooting BBs. The stock was hard plastic which I managed to break in short order. I think it came with a few lead balls for the large caliber barrel but when they were gone I only shot BB’s.
Anyone out there know about this airgun?

So hard to say. The 1st possibility that mumbled in my memory is the old Apache airgun some of which came in #4 bore (.25) as well as a smaller liner.
I do not recall seeing one with a plastic stock though, could have been.
Google some pictures perhaps.

Kind of sounds like a Daisy Model 25, except for the .25 cal. You say you shot bbs in it and they are .177 cal.

Not sure what the caliber was for the main barrel but it was large enough to
allow the BB barrel to be inserted.

Thanks John. Hopefully, some collector will come up with a photo.

Other than the stock, Apache Fireball. Maybe they made some in plastic too.

That is the one.
The early ones came with a plastic stock, later changed to wood.
