I ordered one of these today. It’s still to cold to do serious CO2 shooting but when it’s warm enough I’m going to be ready.

This might be my next purchase.

You sure are getting into the CO2 shooting. Good for you. We've been thinking of adding some cowboy style CO2 guns, too, so we'll be very interested in your reviews.

My entire backyard is designed to be a whimsical air gun range and eatery. Having an action cowboy course just seemed natural at the Paradise Pancake Palace. I have three extra bullet traps I need to put together and set out.

This is going to be the summer I enjoy my last four years of work.

I ended up buying the rifle too. It’s currently past it’s due date apparently from shipping rather than production issues.

What bb’s do you shoot? How accurate?

Find some scrap wood and a saloon type arcade would fit right in with your range setup! Like that Co2 lever rifle you might get!
I got the adapter for my Walther lever rifle so I can use 2 of the standard 12G cartridges instead of the big 88g tank for shorter range sessions.
Weather will be up in mid 70's next couple days so maybe I can try it out. It shoots the .177 pellets.

I was about 9 or 10 years old when the Stallion 45 cap pistol came out. Needless to say I got one pretty quick and it was a stepping stone to a lifetime of bigger and better things! Sir Henry, your new pacemaker brought back many memories.

I think a saloon arcade is a great idea. I bought the lever action minutes after posting about it.

Where is the best place to get the 12g? I have two boxes of 25 but don’t think they will last very long.

Hey Forty do you notice any velocity difference using the adapter vs one of those 88gr cartridges

Was thinking about getting one of these. There made in Germany and have a great reviews. Dont know whether I would get the 177 or 22 as loading the magazines is easier than loading one at a time with the smaller pellets. They also have one place that is selling a 22cal in a bundle with other accessories

Sorry the photobucket pictures are gone. I couldn't put up with their nonsense.

Looks like a similar setup like my Walther Lever Rifle. It uses an 8 shot magazine that rotates like that.

Ive done a little research into finding these Umarex 88g cartridges. One thing I wondered was is there a velocity loss using the adapter vs using the bigger 88g cylinder. I found one Youtube video that claimed a loss of some velocity using the conversion cylinder. I also found that Midwayusa seems to be the cheapest around on those 88g cylinders at 15.00 for a pair of them. They claim around 400 shots with one of those. Im not sure if that would be the case or not.
