Daisy Airgun Museum Releases Patriot Gun

On April 19, 1775, a shot from a Colonial Militia Minuteman’s rifle, fired at the battle of Lexington and Conrod, sparked the American Revolution for Independence. 

In celebration of the 250th anniversary (semiquincentennial) of this “Shot heard round the world,” the Rogers Daisy Airgun Museum in Rogers, Arkansas, has released an exclusive limited edition Patriot gun.

The solid wood stock of this Daisy Red Ryder BB gun is laser engraved “Patriot” with the image of a Minuteman, a Sons of Liberty flag, circa 1775, and a current U.S. flag.  The wood forearm of each gun is laser engraved “The Shot Heard ‘Round the World,  April 19, 1775”, underlined by 13 stars for the original colonies. 

Only 500 qty. of these guns will be sold. The stock of each gun is marked "Issue of 500". While the guns are not individually numbered, the Daisy Airgun Museum will retire this issue when 500 qty. of this gun have been sold or at the end of day on 12.31.2025.

Note: Plans are underway for an Independence Day Semiquincentennial gun, July 4, 1776 – 2026, so those interested in owning the pair of guns should act quickly to secure this first gun in the set.

Please note, shipping of airguns to some locations is prohibited.  The gun may be purchased online at www.daisymuseum.com or at the museum which is open Monday – Saturday from

9 AM to 5 PM Central time.
