TheLegends Cowboy Rifle 4.5mm silver is a western-styleCO2 air rifle modeled after the legendary Winchester carbine.
Who among us once didn't dream of becoming a cowboy? Thanks to the Legends Cowboy Rifle 4.5 mm, we can for a moment feel like a movie western hero and enjoy, from shooting a replica of a weapon that changed the history of the Wild West.
The Legends Cowboy Rifle perfectly combines modern technology with the historical atmosphere of a lever-loaded Winchester rifle.
Construction
TheLegends Cowboy Rifle, just like a real Winchester, is made mostly of metal, with the barrel, magazine, breech chamber, reloading lever, trigger mechanism and sighting instruments.
Only the buttstock and grip were produced from polymer that perfectly imitates wood. The classic nature of the carbine is perfectly emphasized by the silver finish of the breech chamber.
Power supply
The Legends Cowboy Rifle is powered by compressed carbon dioxide coming from 2 12gCO2 capsules. TheCO2 cartridges are mounted in the under foot of the flask. Installation of the capsules is facilitated by an allen wrench permanently attached to the inside of the footplate.
The fired shot reaches a high initial velocity of about 180 m/s, which allows accurate shooting at distances of up to 30m.
Loading
The carbine has a realistic reloading system, impressively imitating the mechanism of a real Winchester. Unlike classic air rifles, the Legends Cowboy Rifle uses brass dummy cartridges, in which we place BB's shot.
Thus prepared "cartridges" are loaded through the side window of the breech chamber into the tubular magazine. Insertion of the cartridge into the chamber is done identically to the Winchester, i.e. through a swinging movement of the reloading lever.
The reloading after each shot, is accompanied by a spectacular ejection of the shell not found in any other windcheater. The speed of shots fired depends solely on one's training.
Brass dummy cartridges are reusable, but for greater convenience it is worth getting an extra set, which greatly speeds up reloading and increases the fun of shooting.
BB's shot is designed for recreational shooting at reactive targets, cans, bottles, etc. Unlike lead shot, BB's do not deform even under pressure, so they can be safely loaded into shells.
Mechanical sighting instruments
The carbine uses epoxy targeting instruments in the form of adjustable sights and a fixed bead fly.
Fuse
The trigger mechanism of the carbine can be locked when carrying or moving with the windcheater by means of a fuse conveniently located within reach of the thumb (at the rear of the breech chamber).
