I had that M-16!!!
I wanted that Johnny Eagle M-14, but my parents said it was too expensive.
I remember seeing it on the wonderful toy and game aisle at the local TG&Y, but I already had an airgun. The BBs, pellets and CO2 cartridges were further down the same aisle.
I wonder how many BBs I burned through in my youth. The Crosman BBs came in "milk carton" containers, while Daisy used the yellow and black cardboard tubes of multiple sizes. I hated the little pocket packs of BBs that looked like ketchup packets. Those always ripped in unpredictable ways and spilled half the contents.
Me too brother. I guess that dates us. ;^)
My parents were driving down a gravel road in Arkansas, if you”ll forgive the redundancy, in the early ‘60’s, and found a Remington 514 in the road. Still have it.
Me too. And the Dick Tracey 38 snub nose and Tommy Gun set with holster and badge.
