I plan on getting my twin sons BB guns in another year or two. They are 3 1/2 now, so they're not quite ready. (I know, I'm planning early).
First, let me say that I know very little about BB or air guns in general.
OK, don't laugh.....
I've never actually owned a BB gun. When I was young and I asked my Dad for a BB gun he'd say, "You've got .22's, what do you want a BB gun for?" So I never got one.
First, what should I get for them? I'm assuming that it HAS to be a Daisy, and HAS to be a lever gun (just because). Should I get the Red Ryder, or another model? Is a pump better than a lever?
How about care for them? You don't clean the bore do you? Do you just rub down the metal with some oil every now and then?
Now a really stupid question.... Are there any air guns that are actually loud enough to warrant ear protection?
We have just enough room in our back yard that I think I can build a little trap to put spinners on and collect the BB's.
Any other info I need to know?
