Issue #36: Walther Lever Action, R1 History + Q&A

The Walther Lever Action CO2 rifle is a dead-ringer for the Winchester 30/30 (1894 model). Tom takes you on a tour of the airgun, which looks and feels so much like the firearm that you'll be hard-pressed to tell the difference.

If you've never read Tom's Beeman R1 book, then you may not know the history of the R1 Supermagnum air rifle. Tom takes a trip down memory lane as he recounts how the gun was developed.

The Q&A segment has a couple questions about scopes. Sighting-in a scope can be an easy, cheap & quick process...if you know how to do it. Tom leads you through the steps and shows you how to do it in 5-10 minutes. Another listener asks about scopes and spring guns. Years ago, a spring gun would break almost any scope mounted on it. Times have changed, and Tom tells you a bit more about that.
