Toy double rifles for kids?

[Kevin Peacocke]

My grandson is about to turn five and he is besotted by my double rifle. Do they make a BB double rifle or something similar I can get him?

They make the toy ones that cock on breaking the action, and then strings pull two little corks up into the ends of the barrels upon closing, ready to fire them out, "pop, pop"

I can't remember where I got it, but I got one for my son that was pretty much like a small working 120ish gauge shot gun. The shells were realistic looking plastic hulls with replaceable snap-cap primers. The only thing I didn't like was that it was an extractor gun without ejectors...haha.

That's a great thought but allow me to suggest any decent BB rifle with which your grandson can learn sight alignment, trigger control, and natural point of aim, i.e. the fundamentals of marksmanship.

 

[Kevin Peacocke]

Thanks Midwest, I think that fits the bill nicely.

Cabela’s made a great double
Shotgun that actually had shells and went bang when the triggers were pulled. My son got his first pheasant with one when he was 5 (he pulled the trigger at the same time I did). You should have seen the look on his face!!!

This one doesn't shoot, but it looks like Grandpa's. Only took a couple hours to build (not counting the time bluing the barrels or oiling the stock).

I bought this "shotgun" for my son a couple of years ago, it has real looking cartridges on which you can change the snap caps to make it go bang. It has a working safety and cocks on breaking, the barrels are metal and the stock is wood-looking plastic. Two triggers, one for each barrel. Quite realistic looking I think.

With a matchbox for size.

I would bet money that he has a toy Land Rover.

Beautifully made, well done!

No toy Land Rover yet, but it is on the cards Lon!

That looks just like the gun my son had referenced above. Great stuff! He carried his on hunts for two years before we started him with a real gun at 7. By the time he carried a real gun in the field he had safe gun handling down cold. We still keep the environment very controlled for a number of years after that.

That is my plan exactly, to use it for him to learn how to handle the real thing in the future.

If I could be reincarnated, I’d like to be @kevin Peacocke’s grandson!!! “Cool grandpa” doesn’t come close.! Good luck in finding a suitable arm for the young man.

 

[Kevin Peacocke]

I would love to get him a Daisy 21, but I suspect it would fall foul of the import rules. I am therefore thinking of making him one like @Woodcarver did. It could be made to work as a potato gun using caps.

Thank you Doug, I would like to be my own granddad too, I would dish myself out lots of toys - hang on, I do that already!

My son and I were following my dogs trailing a rooster in CRP when he was 5. The bird hooked back and got up right at my sons feet flying straight away from him. I had a beautiful thirty yard crosser and folded the bird at the exact moment my son pulled the trigger. The look on his face was priceless. We put that bird in his vest for the walk back to the truck.

I have to try that next time he joins me on some Upland hunting

I had one a lot like it when I was a wee lad. Eventually some internal mechanism corroded so much from the caps I ran through it that it didn't work anymore and couldn't be repaired. It was certainly one of the best cap guns I had, though, along with my 1:1 scale no-orange-tip Colt SAA that I got, of all places, at Disneyland Paris. Customs had a fun time when THAT showed up on the X-ray machine.
