My name is Ralph, and in 1972 I was called Ralphie so all I know is I don’t know.

I had the air rifle version. I use to stick the muzzle in mud & it would shoot the mud out.

A few years ago I got my first ever real gun back. It’s in terrible shape but it still shoots good.

Mine was a Red Ryder. Still have the box, papers, and the repro "Red Ryder" comic book.

Mine was a pump bb gun, uncle found me a scope, that thing was deadly to neighborhood birds.

Nice to get that back. I'm sure a lot of memories are attached to that gun.
