| The strange thing about the 410/28 on gunsamerica is it was a 00 frame w/00 frame 28ga. barrels, and 0000 frame 410 barrels. The 410 barrels didn't have serial numbers, but they apparently fit the gun. Maybe (frame) size isn't important! Ha Ha.

| Chris, once the 0000 guns were in prototype stage, I think a lot of 00 frame .410 barrels got the same markings. The barrels were of different pin separation however. The 0000 markings are incorrect when applied to 00 frame barrels. The last set of .410 barrels offered for sale on ebay a couple of years ago were marked the same as the ones in the recent gunsamerica pictures.

| Bill, I don't need the dimensions but I am simply interested as a small subject of information. I would like to get a set of .410 barrels for one of my 00-frame 28 Ga. Repros someday and any information helps to prevent me from making an unwise purchase.

| And here are the pictures I promised. While it isn't a Red Rider Special, it was used as an instructional piece in the Youth Marksmanship Program of the Peabody, Ma. Jaycees. A friend has three others in successive serial numbers. This one is 1522 while the others are 1523, 1524 and 1525. Note the special order Monte Carlo comb and the exceptionally high condition of the piece which certainly elevates it to easily compare value-wise with Bruce's RRS. This is a very early model as you will see in the pictures to follow. Attached Image (viewed 438 times):

| And, of course, what fine arm would be complete without the inletting of a comemorative medallion honoring a personality of note or some auspicious occasion? In this case the newly designed Liberty Head Silver Dollar of 1922 (apparantly the year of manufacture of this piece) which replaced the rather dowdy-looking matronly "Ma Liberty" of 1921 and earlier.

| Damn. That's the trouble with being a collector. There's always somebody with a better gun.

I'll write a check....first one to accept wins....If it clears I get half back and the other half goes to my IRA .
Bruce I thought that model had some gold inlay of Mice and such suitable for a weapon of such calibre...or lack thereof. Now if it only had a set trigger I'd buy it for less than the asking price.

| As all can see, the Trojan grade Daisy is just as effective as those pimped up grades. Attached Image (viewed 422 times):

| Dean, there is no error to be made in purchasing Repro .410 barrels. If you mistakenly purchase a set of barrels that are actually 0000 dimension rather than you desired 00 dimension, they will probably be worth an additional $4000 or $5000. Not to worry.

. . . if one could ever find a set. I bid $4k on the last set of .410 barrels that went up for auction a couple of years ago but someone was wealthier than I.

| Fred it may be an entry grade, but since its a small smallbore, its still valuable. The only thing is that when you take it to Sanford you won't get much respect from the collectors. Some day you'll want to move up to the RR LE grade or maybe even the Incredible grade like Dean has.

| Any of you Daisy collectors have a US marked Vietnam era Quick Kill model? I have been looking for one of those for years and haven't found one. Thanks for replying.

| Bill, we must be politically correct. The correct title was "Quick ,Humane, Didn't Hurt, Harvest". We don't use the word kill anymore and we harvest, like pulling organically grown from heirloom seed radishes.

| Bruce, you must be clairvoyant. After the use of this gun in training for the unpopular conflict, Daisy changed the name to Quick-Skill. Back to the subject at hand, does anyone have a Daisy Quick Kill model to sell me?
