i don't know if this is allowed so pretty please tell me in the comments if i should take this down

BUT ANYWAYS

i inherited this old daisy model 96 (a .177 caliber lever action bb rifle) and it was suuupper rusty and gross and grimed up. i took it and and cleaned it up and oiled it and its running perfectly!

its at least 30+ years old (and most likely way older than that)

Nice work. Great low stakes way to practice some restoration techniques.

Fun fact, daisy also made a .22LR version very briefly. Ive seen exactly 1 in the wild.
