The Stallion 300 Saddle Gun could easily be
listed under "Stallions," but the "Rifles" section needed more clout, so I put
it here. Besides, not everybody thinks of it as a Stallion, since Stallions
were generally cap pistols.
In the late 50's Chuck Conners starred on
the TV show, "The Rifleman" and naturally every kid then wanted a 30-30 rifle.
Nichols filled the bill by coming out with the 300. It was just about the right
size for a young kid and some of us were lucky enough to be given one of these
at Christmas. Just a little later Hubley came out with one that was apparently
licensed from the show and had the characteristic circular cocking lever that
was on the TV show.

| WE HAVE LOTS OF BRANDS OF CAP GUNS BESIDES
JUST NICHOLS ON THIS WEBSITE. |
PLEASE HELP!
There won't be any "Art Trade Fair
Shows" this year because of the COVID-19 virus, so I won't be able to sell my
glass ornaments at those shows. And money is tight for the USA (Pray for our
leaders and Jesus said "Pray for those who would spitefully use you."...so with
money tight it's just a hope that we can receive contributions.
Believe me, even small contributions help! This is the only
site where you are likely to find most of the Cap Guns ever made. The site will
always be free to use, but it's not free for me.
YOU CAN CLICK BELOW TO HELP OUT!
(Contritubutions start at
only $10, but you can make it more if you can afford it.)
(And we
absolute refuse to put you on a
mailing list or sell your e-mail address.)
Thank you "History Buffs &
Collectors"—Mike Nichols, Texas |
Here's a nice
example of the Stallion 300 Saddle Gun. This one has an almost brand new box!
The little white clip is a bullet clip, which in itself is quite rare. You can
see the selector switch on the right side of this gun. This one I bought on
Ebay and didn't even know the bullet clip was inside until Jamie Linford told
me! And that clip is expensive!
Here's a nice closeup
shot of the hammer/trigger area showing the "Ejector Selector" switch. This
baby uses the full-sized Stallion 45 bullets, and this switch controlled the
ejection when you cocked the rifle. On "Super" the bullet would fly out when
you cocked it. The bullet carrier moves toward the rear to cock the
hammer.

The Stallion 300 used
bullets like these, but by the time it came out, of course they were selling
the regular zinc-alloy bullets. These are the more expensive aluminum
bullets!
CLICK TO SEE!
Mail in your certificate, get your bullet
clip.
And here's what the
certificate looked like. You won't see many of these, for most kids mailed it
in. Then they were as dumb as I was and lost the bullet clip! |

This toy rifle was designed well and well built, however finding
one these days is a little difficult. And expensive! Find one in a mint box and
you have a prize that few of your fellow collectors will have.
