Greetings All, It's been quite a while since I posted here at Bludgeon & Skewer so it must be time for an update! Here's a trio Restomod Daisy Model 1938's. Note the Tyrolean-ish butts...

Sure hope so. The planetary market for highly modified antique Daisy products is far from brisk, minuscule would be an overstatement and sustainable is a pipe dream. Fortunately I have qu...

This is a damn good lookin' Daisy Model 1894.  It looks equally good on the other side too! Yep, still lookin' good. The other thing about this build is that it was so much troubl...

Greetings All, It's been a while since I've put up a post here at the B&S site and lots of stuff has been happening the most peculiar of which was an explosion of hits last month that I can not...

There's a lot of angst about Daisy's current production Red Ryder built with Chinese parts assembled in the USA at Daisy. The up side is this is manufactured to Daisy specs and because it's m...

Time to put up another effort by Rest-O-Mod Daisy. Today's feature is a Daisy Model 75 Scout made in Plymouth Michigan sometime before 1958. This little gem was an outlier for my standard p...

This is what it would have looked like. One of the joys of being a parent is the fact that your kids come up with great idea's from time to time. Forget about that hole to China in the ...

Not much to look at is it? I got this Daisy model 25 as a basketcase years ago. No stocks, an odd Hodge podge of parts , mismatched receiver and barrel assembly and no shot tube. Lots of Dais...

As mentioned in my last post, I also do cap guns. I've always felt that your first rifle should be special and I've decided to do something about it. Here's a few photo's of some of my cap gun ...

Works in progress. I've pictured this Model 25 before and was not happy with the stock I made to the factory pattern. It now has a glue up curly maple stock that is being roughed out for f...

Red Ryder #2 is off the bench and in the rack. Here are some pictures of the effort. As you can see this is sporting my new Martini style cocking lever, it's also got a .250 thick all s...

What do you do when you want an old school Daisy lever that's not curved? Make one.   I have a preference for straight grip musket style stocks on the the Daisy's I rest-o-mod and they a...

My first Red Ryder restock is done. Due to the thinness of the receiver I opted to add some "Palm Swell" strips to the grip area to fill it out. The next one will be done with two pieces of f...

As far as I can tell, these custom Daisy model 99's, 98, 96 and 95's are unique on planet earth. It's amazing the kind of transformation you can achieve with a propane torch and some wittli...

Wowser! A muzzle loading full auto flechette firing battery powered hand held mini-gun sling shot! I'd love to see the build sheet on this and then mod it for a stately copper and brass steamp...
