The Red Ryder came out in 1940.
They are still in production today.
I see the trigger assembly looks like a modern model so I'm going to guess it's no older than a 1980's or 1990's production run.
As well you need to check the magazine loading location. The old ones had a large cap on the barrel end and you unscrewed that to pour the BB's in. Newer models had either a slot in the magazine tube or the barrel. The newest have the slot in the barrel.
Also on the cocking lever, the new models go through 7 ratchet points where the old ones were one motion to the end.
Get some pics of the other side, front of the barrel and a closeup of the trigger area and I can be more accurate in dating it.
