[QUOTE="aviator41, post: 2939208, member: 30309"] The BB gun was a modified Red Ryder. it was changed just enough to keep the legal eagles at bay, preventing a lawsuit. the pump action actually did nothing. The trigger guard had the lever lopped off of it. Many believe they tweaked a Red Rider because the same bb gun was featured in "A Christmas Story." released in 1983, A Christmas Story featured the Red Ryder as a key element in the movies story line. Seeing Kevin in Home Alone using the same rifle to fend off burglars, much Like Ralphie does in A Christmas Story, would prompt a lawsuit based on infringement of that storyline and use of the same prop. Here's a good photo of the one Kevin uses in Home Alone as it sits on his brothers wall.
