A lucky day

I was happy- ecstatic, really- to find these three at a rural antique shop today.
And they all shoot!
The top is a wood, engraved Daisy 25, made 1936 - 1952.
Then a 1982 Silver Steak that pumps nice and smooth.
On the bottom, a late 80s-ish Beni 347 is a few years too young to officially qualify for the vintage gate, but it's in the roughest shape of the three, looks real old, and keeps good company.
Have fun!

No, it's all there. It just blends into the floor in the pic. The only issue is the rear plug and rear sight were repainted with a brush, and the safety binds. I should be able to sort that out. I haven't chronied it or accuracy tested it yet, but it just feels smooth compared to my other pumpers.

I have yet to fix the safety, but I did chrony it and it seems healthy at 620 with 14.3s at 8 pumps. All i have for .20 ammo is an old red plastic box of domes, a couple dozen old Beeman FTS, and a couple yellow boxes of cylindrical. Seems to like the cylindrical best. I have some JSB on the way.
