John Wayne Lil Duke BB Rifle

I had extreme difficulty getting a BB to chamber upon cocking. Would dry-fire on me at least 50% of the time. After about 70 shots (yes, I counted), the gun broke (cocking lever jammed and BB's spilled out of the trigger slot. Draining the remaining BB's from the gun revealed another problem. Twisting and pulling the barrel cap (standard emptying procedure) caused the cap (and attached barrel tube) to slam hard against the edge of the barrel jacket. This means that the barrel tube was bent inside the gun. An hour later, for the same price as the Lil Duke, I bought a Crosman Legacy at the local Walmart, and ended up with a FAR superior gun.

Pros
Not much, other than the single cocking action (i.e. not a multi-pump).

Cons
VERY poorly made. Also, needs some type of visual confirmation that a BB has chambered, like the Daisy I had when I was a kid.

Perfect for the young ins! Brings v BBC ack the good old days. Just don’t shoot your eye out!

Pros
Great quality

Cons
None

Pros
Was what wanted

Cons

I give each grandson a bb gun on their eight birthday my first great grandson is just 9 months old so I may not be around at 8 years as I am 74 I have always bought Daisy red Ryder but I liked the looks of the lil Duke very pleased with quality and feel of it I just had to try it out for about ten shots and it was fine a little hard to cock but it will work. Thanks for quick shipping. Dave Shell

Brings back special BB gun kid memories and memories of the Duke.

Pros
A good BB gun salute to the Duke.

Cons
It won't take down a whitetail deer, but who cares.

Works as advertised; Quality is far superior to the Daisy lever action and pump BB guns I had as a boy. The "added attraction" is that it is a memento to the life of John Wayne (everyone's "hero" for doing "the right thing" during my boyhood days while "growing up"...).
