Messina, 55, of Romeoville, had brought two grandchildren to visit Santa. Then he saw the barrel of Red Ryders just a few feet from Santa's chalet and bought one, but not for his grandkids.

It just brought back so many memories. Messina said he would roam the woods near his childhood home in Lyons and "shoot cans and stuff. I don't like to kill anything, but I like to shoot little targets. It's fun to hear that ding, ding, ding. Little Ralphie, played by Peter Billingsley, mentions the Red Ryder air gun nearly 30 times in the 94 minutes of "A Christmas Story," which depicts a fictionalized Hammond of the early s.

Raconteur Jean Shepherd, who was raised in Hammond, wrote the novel on which the movie was based and co-wrote the screenplay. He also narrates the film, which — again this year — cable TV superstation TBS will show 11 times in 20 hours beginning late on Christmas Eve. The little-known fact about the specific gun at the center of the story is that it existed in that exact form only in the imagination of Shepherd, who died in Shepherd insisted the Red Ryder of his childhood bore a compass and sundial.

Their theory was that Shepherd had both rifles as a boy and may have merged their parts after one gun broke. Daisy manufactured the rifles with those features for consumers in and '84, Murfin said.

Since then, except for limited editions of that gun for the 20th and 25th anniversaries of the movie, Daisy had continued to make the Red Ryders without the sundial and compass. That design was fine with Jenny Milligan, of Lockport, who was carrying two Red Ryders around the cavernous Bolingbrook outdoors store on a Tuesday afternoon, while keeping track of her three kids.

She and her husband, Patrick, had seen the Red Ryders on an earlier trip to visit Santa with their children. She'd returned with the kids to buy his gift. Patrick Milligan, 37, had a Red Ryder as a child.
