| Hi, I'm the manager of this site, my name is Joe, but you can call me "Pappy_Joe" I was born in Gadsden, Alabama before the 1950's and grew up there, in the 50's and 60's. As I grew up, my family consisted of 8 children, and I never was able to own a bb gun, so I had to borrow the bb guns, I shot. I spent 20 years in the United States Marine Corps, and retired in 1990. I then moved back to my hometown (Gadsden, Alabama), where I still live. I started buying Daisys BB Guns in 1990, but it took me a few years to realize that I was collecting them. My childhood friend got me started in collecting em, he had quite a few BB Guns when we were growing up. He enjoyed hunting for the older ones as an adult child. We became partners and together we would storm the Trade Days, Yard Sales, Junk Stores, Antique Stores, Hardware Stores, Wal-Mart, K-Mart, and any-where else we could think of, and buy any and all Daisy guns we could find. In 1995 I started selling most of my collection off, at that time I had 147 guns. Most of these guns were in very good to excellent condition, with a large number in mint still in the box. My wife warned me against selling my collection, but I went against her advise anyway and began selling em. After selling most of my collection, I realized, that I really missed em. In fact I missed my Daisy Collection, so bad, I had to start collecting again in 2000. That was when my wife got me a computer for Christmas and I discovered there were a large number of Daisy collector out here on the web. Right now I have over 200 Daisy Guns (which fills one room in our home). I started a community web site on collecting air guns to help other collectors and to exchange information. I hope you get enjoyment and some information from this site. I started in 2001, with (VintageAirBBToyGuns), and changed the name to (AIR GUNS USA), in September, 2002. I would like to "THANK" you for visiting and "A SPECIAL THANKS" to everyone who has taught me and helped me along in my collecting and sharing of information. The list is to long to mention any names except one "  "! | |
