Daisy Legacy Model 2203 Semi-Auto .22 LR Rifle
NEW ITEM: By 1987, the Daisy was ready for a deliberate entrance to the consumer firearm market, with the single-shot bolt-action Model 8 – built exclusively for distribution through Wal-Mart from parts left over from Iver Johnson – and the all-Daisy Legacy Models 2201 and 2211, single-shot plinkers that differed from each other by having either wood or polymer furniture. Then came the Legacy 2202/2212 series, which were bolt guns that used a very Ruger 10/22-style 10-shot rotary magazine.
This brings us to Daisy's masterpiece when it came to their firearm line, the semi-auto Legacy Model 2203/2213. Just 4 pounds in weight, they featured a Monte Carlo-style stock – American hardwood on the 2213 and brown "copolymer" on the 2203 – the latter with an adjustable Daisy-branded but plate. They had a 19-inch sleeved barrel, a ramped adjustable rear sight against a ramped front post, sling swivel posts, and a peculiar 7-shot detachable box magazine. By loosening the barrel nut with a supplied tool, and manipulating the action, the bolt and trigger assembly can be removed for cleaning. The manual boasted that the Legacy line had a user-adjustable trigger pull weight as well. They were billed on release, with a logo of a coonskin cap-wearing outdoorsman, as "A new idea in .22 rimfire, for a new generation of shooters. "The 2203 and 2213 used an interesting 7-shot detachable box magazine held into the mag well via a tension clip The black slotted disk in the stock adjusts the length of pull from 12.25 to 14.25 inches, a handy feature on any Daisy! The feature was also seen on the copolymer-stocked Legacy 2202 bolt gun, which has an almost identical profile except for the bolt and magazine. Introduced in 1988, they were just around for a few years, ending production in 1991 as Daisy exited the firearm business. Over the past decade, prices on these guns have been climbing as they have passed into the more collectible realm with age as even the youngest Legacy is now 30 years old. Should you find one at a good price and elect to add it to the collection, "you're a Daisy if you do." This one appears un-fired and comes with 2 magazines, spanner wrench, manual and original box. This is the last variant with the copolymer adjustable stock. A fantastic edition to my collection.

1928 Baker Single Barrel Trap Gun....They don’t make them like this anymore! This a Vintage, Circa 1928, BAKER Single Barrel Trap Gun.. 12 Gauge 32” barrel full fixed choke, vent rib … When I prchased this shotgun, the bluing was gone along with the varnish.

Browning Model BT99 Exhibition Grade Single Barrel Trap "One of A Kind"
This is the Premier Shotgun in my Collection. My research showed that this shotgun was manufactured in 1970 as a Standard Grade BT99, 12 Gauge with 34”, Full Fixed Choke, Vent Rib Barrel. It was shipped to a hardware store in South Carolina in 1970. The gentleman in South Carolina, who I purchased this gun from, told me this shotgun was then sent out to be engraved and restocked to be presented to the State Senator from South Carolina. He told me that he purchased this gun from the senator’s family. The only thing that I can verify is the information that I received direct from Browning. The engraving is deep chisel engraving with gold inlays and gold wire border. The shotgun is not signed, so there is really no way of knowing who the engraver might be. The stocks are an unbelievable Exhibition Star Burst Wood Pattern with original Browning Recoil Pad. For those of you who may not be aware, Browning Changed the Stock Style of the BT99 for one year only, 1970. Than in 1971 they went back to the original pattern. No other BT99 Stock will fit on the 1970 model. To this day, I still do not know why Browning made the change to the stocks, for that one year. The gun is Unfired and is one of those special shotguns that you really need to see it in person, to really appreciate the true beauty of it. I do wish I would have been able to find out more information about the gun after it was delivered to the hardware store, but the store has been long gone. I think the pictures speak for themselves on this one…..

The Iver Johnson Letters and 1925 Catalog came with the gun when I purchased it. The gun was still being used at the time I purchased it. The bluing and case colors where gone and all of the varnish was gone, but the wood and metal was in excellent condition… I felt this gun was a candidate for total restoration, so I sent it to Al Springer of Rocky Mountain Bluing, in Moore, Montana and 6 months later, here are the results.

"Winchester" Commemorative Ammunition:
The Winchester Brand dates back to 1866. There have only been three iconic Americans to be featured on Winchester Ammunition boxes....John Wayne, Teddy Roosevelt and Oliver F. Winchester....Now Kim Rhode, the most decorated women shooter in Olympic history, now takes her place among them......Impressive considering the Winchester brand dates back to 1866.
Kim Rhode: Olympic Skeet Shooting Gold Medalist
This past July in London, shotgunner Kim Rhode cemented her place in history as one of the greatest Olympians of all time.
Rhode’s longtime sponsor, Winchester Ammunition, is honoring her success by featuring Rhode on a commemorative box of legendary AA target loads.
In London, Rhode made history by becoming the first U.S. athlete to medal in an individual sport in five consecutive Olympics. She dominated the women’s skeet competition to win her third career shooting gold medal, becoming the first woman ever to achieve three shooting golds.
“Kim is an American hero and an inspiration to anyone with hopes and dreams,” said Brett Flaugher, Winchester Ammunition vice president of marketing and sales. “Kim’s career accomplishments are unmatched in Olympic competition and we’re proud to say that she shoots Winchester Ammunition.”
The limited edition Winchester® AA® boxes featuring Rhode will be standard, 25-round boxes of 2 3/4-inch, #8-shot target shells. Winchester will donate a portion of the proceeds generated by the Rhode boxes to USA Shooting. Winchester has been a proud sponsor of USA Shooting and the official ammunition of the USA Shooting Shotgun team since 1999.
“I’m honored and humbled by the support of Winchester and excited to be on this commemorative box of AAs,” said the 33-year-old Rhode. “It takes a lot of hard work and dedication to become an Olympic champion, and it helps when you also shoot the best ammo.”
In four years of preparation for London, Winchester supported the USA Shooting Shotgun Team with almost three million rounds of Winchester® AA® ammunition. To put that in perspective, 3 million rounds of AA ammunition weighs about 230,000 pounds – about the same as 60 standard-sized cars.

John Wayne: An American Icon
"Tomorrow is the most important thing in life. It comes into us at midnight very clean. It's perfect when it arrives and puts itself in our hands. It hopes we've learned something from yesterday." - John Wayne
John Wayne (1907-1979), known to most as the "Duke", was considered a true American. He began his movie career in 1926 with Brown of Harvard and ended his career with The Shootist in 1976. Overall, "Duke" starred in over 180 films, even winning an Academy Award for True Grit.
