Random Gun Pics...let’s see how random we can make it

My 3 1/2 y.o. Gson;

He's shooting his sister's old bow... caught the arrow in flight. He's getting very good,been at it for about a year. His follow through was near perfect on this shot.

All my 4 boys started in diapers as well....and now all their kids are shooting bows.

Does anyone know that Daisy, ( the air rifle folks) got into making 22 rimfires from about 1988 until about 1991? Regular 22's that fired 22LR shells. They had a short lived earlier model that fired .22 caseless ammo but that died out quickly. My 80 year old friend whose land I hunt was given a Daisy model 2213 semi-auto in 22LR recently. The poor thing has spent too much time neglected in a barn or shed and it's kind of rough, but he shot it just to see if it still functions, and it does. He asked me if I could clean it up a bit and it's now on my bench. IMG_7386.JPG .. IMG_7387.JPG .. IMG_7389.JPG .. The bore was grungy looking but it cleaned up nicely. The rear sight is missing but it has a 3/8" grooved receiver. If it shoots good I have some rimfire scope rings and a small 4x rimfire scope here that I'm not using. I've heard that Daisy made 22 rimfire rifles for a while but this is the first one I've ever seen. This fits in nicely with the "let's see how random we can make it?" concept in the title of this thread.
 
A Daisy model 600 is something I have never heard of. Wow.... Learn something new every day. Thanks for that link, too, it mentioned Daisy getting a lot of stuff from the Iver Johnson Bankruptcy and in my research on the Daisy model 2213, I discovered that in 1987 Daisy introduced their first .22 rifle made from left over Iver Johnson parts and called the Model 8. That's another Daisy that I have never seen or knew of.. We Remember When Daisy Used to Make .22LR Rifles :: Guns.com
 
I bought 2 of the Daisey Model 8, when they first came out. $38 each.

Both would shoot nickel size groups at 25 yards and were minute of squirrel noggin at 50 yards, with ammo they liked.

1 liked Thunderbolts best. The other shot them like buckshot. It preferred Winchester Wildcats.

Good ammo would not group near as well.

The Cricket is the Daisey 8.

From the photos it looks like the receiver might be a zamac or other zinc alloy casting.

Is that true?
 
The receiver on that Daisy must be some kind of alloy. Like what some folks call "pot metal" (?). Whatever it is, at least it doesn't rust. Took it back to the owner yesterday. He already fired it but we're gonna take it out again for another post-cleaning function test. Probably next week after this big storm / cold snap passes. If it functions well I may put that previously mentioned compact 4x scope on it and we can see what kind of accuracy it has. Unless I can find an inexpensive aperture sight for a 3/8" grooved receiver. I've seen some online but they were all kind of expensive for a .22 that's not worth much.
 
OP did say "let's see how random we can make it"...

Drawbacks: Only good for shooting Christmas cookies. Long mushy trigger. Range of only 1/2".

Benefits: Threaded barrel accepts lots of attachments. High capacity 23-26 shots. Adjustable stock. Poly/aluminum frame for light weight. Very accurate- I can land every shot on a 12x17" baking sheet.

Commercial ammo for this model is not very good, so we run our own loads.
