Red Ryder > **[Daisy Outdoor Products | Red Ryder BB Gun](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daisy_Outdoor_Products#Red_Ryder_BB_Gun)** > > The Red Ryder BB Gun is a BB gun made by Daisy Outdoor Products and introduced in the spring of 1940 that resembles the Winchester rifle of Western movies. Named for the comic strip cowboy character Red Ryder (created in 1938, and who appeared in numerous films between 1940 and 1950, and on television in 1956), the BB gun is still in production, though the comic strip was cancelled in 1963. ---
