**SCARCE IN THE UK**1959-1979 American Daisy Model 99 .177 BB Repeating Lever Action Air Rifle. AI 620 - AI 620

The Model 99 came out in 1959. It was created by Daisy to promote youth marksmanship training, and had features designed with that in mind. For example, it came with an adjustable rear peep sight. Up front is a globe or hooded front sight that accepts inserts (4 inserts were available that can quickly be changed by pressing in on the spring-loaded insert carrier). Daisy also created a marksmanship program for it that is still being held. The Daisy BB gun championships have been held since 1966. At one period they were called international championships. Because of its marksmanship features, most particularly the sights, the 99 was well-suited to competition. Production of the original daisy Model 99 ended in 1979. The metal work is a mixture of steel and alloy painted black. Our example in excellent condition and scarce to find in the UK has the correct sighting arrangement, lever action that functions as it should and sprung 50 BB magazine which unscrews from the muzzle. It is 36 ½” overall length with a 17 ¼” barrel. It has an undamaged wood shoulder stock and fore stock. The shoulder stock has its original Daisy Medallion (illustrated). The metal work has manufacturer & patent information (all illustrated). The price includes UK delivery.
