OK, I often joke around about "liberating" or "rescuing" airguns from firearms stores. And it's all in good fun, although there's often some truth to that - many times, gun stores don't know what to do with airguns, especially springers. Sometimes, they don't even put them in the sales rack and you have to ask if they have any laying around.
Today was a little different. I found a neglected old .22 cal Daisy 250 (a Milbro made Diana 25) at New England Airguns. It had come to them rough, scarred and splattered with rust. Missing the rear sight too. Packed away and hard to find. Even at an airgun store, this little guy was being overlooked.
But (!) - the bore and crown look nice, the rifle cocks and fires perfectly fine, and even the very basic trigger feels good.
Hmmmmm......
So, some discussions were had, some money changed hands, and I am now looking for a rear sight. (anybody got one? )
