Sears Roebuck model 799.19052.octagon barrel is this a BB gun it has no BB tube in the octagon barrel..opening isn't like a regular BB gun..maybe it just makes a noise....?

Answer 1

Please explain how it can have an octagon barrel and no barrel. I can't find any series 799 in the cross-over list for Sears firearms, so maybe it is a bb gun, but I have never seen a bb gun with an octagonal barrel (or with no barrel). I have a Sears & Roebuck model 799.19052 air gun. It has an octagonal barrel. Sounds like your gun is missing the shot tube. Sears contracted with Daisy Air Guns to make these '1873' "Look-a-likes" from Daisy's standard 'Spittin Image' line of 1894 Carbines. They changed the butt plate to a curved design, shortened the forearm slightly and added a "brass" cap to it, and put an octagonal "sleeve" over the existing 1894 barrel. Neat looking little air gun. If you can't find the proper shot tube one can be made from the right sized tube and an end "plug" to hold it centered in the barrel.
