Comments: The Chief AJ Special Edition Instinct Shooting BB Gun is a special version of the Daisy 1938 made by Daisy for Chief AJ (John "AJ" Huffer) to teach instinct shooting to children and adults. The gun is similar to a Daisy Red Ryder but has a longer stock and an aluminum cocking lever. It has an image of Chief AJ laser engraved in the stock. This particular specimen was purchased from Chief AJ at the Findlay airgun show in March 2007 (it was made in August 2005), and is signed on the box and stock by Chief AJ.
