My Jill got hers last year at five years old. She is now six and has a bolt action .22. The Red Ryder is in storage. Lexi will get it next year when she turns five.It was my first, I was 7 or 8.

Could make the bottom or the can fall off in less than one ‘magazine’ hence the need for the paper clip.
My 7yo got hers today
