This is most likely the most unusual custom rifle that you’ll ever come across. Gary Goudy’s client wanted a custom BB gun for his grandson. Gary came up with a brand new Daisy Red Ryder BB gun and stocked it with a magnificent piece of Turkish walnut. I’ve been around the horn a time or two, but this is the only custom BB gun that I’ve ever come across.

Paul Lindke

Stockmaker Paul Lindke started this project with a pre-’64 Model 70 barreled action, chambered for the .270 Winchester cartridge. The factory barrel was so accurate that it was retained. He picked up a very nice stick of California English walnut from Steve Heilmann, and added a McFarland steel skeleton buttplate, a Leupold VX-3 2.5-8 scope, and Leupold double dovetail mounts. He stocked the rifle, adding an ebony forend tip, and checkered the stock in a 24 LPI fleur de lis pattern with ribbons.
