Page 2 - Umarex Cowboy Lever Action Reviews

After loading projectiles, bb or pellets, the rifle operates as an actual and believable smokeless powder cartridge rifle. Excellent for training and perfect for keeping in form of practice at the range, indoor or out. The experience of not having the loud report of discharging a live explosive weapon is a huge advantage to help train personnel to concentrate on the mechanics of operating a firearm without noise or recoil. Bully, I say.

I would send me a free one for for the students.

The rifle does have very wild west realism.

Its Authentic appearance, weight, feel, accuracy, its as close to the real thing as possible.

Have at least 20 cartridges.

Its as perfect in every way for the money. Good value for the money. Fun to plink in the back yard or wherever you want to shoot it

Fun to shoot, very accurate. Easy to load. Get about 60 shots per 2 CO2 cartridges.

Wow, very hard to remove CO2 cartridges. Difficult to remove actuator from rear of rifle. Have to use a hex wrench with an extension. Started to leak after a few cylinders. Took apart and found a leaky small rubber O ring. Lubed with a little gun grease but still leaks a little when installing new CO2, then stops.

Need to find a source for replacement parts. O rings, levers, springs, butt stock, sights, screws, etc.
Any ideas.

Very nice gun fun to shoot looks great the shells loading and flying out is just a ball buy this gun you will love it.

real wood

I love it! It's the coolest dang bb rifle ever! Awesome design it's like holding a real 94 to eject the shells is awesome. And it's way cheap to shoot!

I hear they only last about six months, for that much money and technology that goes into it. Come up with something better.

If it breaks I will never buy another one.

Appearance, lever action, C02 powered, uses a real cartridge, side loading, good iron sights, heftiness

For a few more dollars they could incorporate stronger seals in their C02 system...In comparison to the Walthers, which uses one large 88gr C02 that you can leave in the gun, the Umarex requires the two 12gr capsules to be removed if the gun is not to be used for an extended amount of time (which I learned is 24 hrs). What could stronger seals add to the price that I wouldn't save in dumping unused C02 capsules?

I purchased this rifle on 12/26/2018. Took in target shooting in June of 2019. Fired 48 rounds through it. Put it back in the gun cabinet. Brought it out the second time in September of 2020. Removed the then dead capsules and loaded new ones. There was a hissing sound I couldn't stop. Thought it was the capsules so I tried another set. Same result. The owner's manual says not repairable by owner. Have to mail it in. I found the piercing valve broken off in one of the new capsules. No warranty. Shipping charges, labor, and part $117 if they determine it is repairable. I love the rifle but its the first "lemon" air rifle I've ever owned. It is the first air rifle I have ever owned that failed. First time for everything, hey?

looks good but have not tried it yet

I really like the look, weight and the feel of this rifle. It so closely matches the real rifle. Working the action. Uses the same cartridges as the Umarex Colt SAA BB revolver. I bought 4 air guns at the same time as this one and this is my favorite along with the Umarex Colt SAA BB Peacemaker.

Sometimes loading the cartridges they shoot back out at you and fall on the ground. A rifled barreled version.

As fun as it is to load and then shoot the cartridges you have to be careful were they fall when ejecting so they don't get covered in dirt or get lost. I recommend shooting over a table to collect the ejected cartridges.

this rifle functions totally like a winchester repeater. I loved shooting it while it worked. it was very accurate.

i would like the gun to last longer than 5 or 6 months.

I had two of these. both failed after about 6 months. something blew out in the receiver and all the gun would do is empty CO2 cartridges. This is a junk gun. Pyramyd air totally took care of me on the first rifle. when Umerex told me they throw these guns in the dumpster when they fail, Pyramyd air swapped it for a new one even though it was out of warranty.

Its very realistic. Its very accurate too.

I dont like the way you load the Co2 in the butt of the gun.

Mine leaked Co2 after just 4 times and I had to return the gun to the dealer and although it was out of warranty they repaired it free off charge.
However I left a Co2 cartridge overnight and it had hall leaked out next day. So disappointed with that but I still love this gun.

So much to like. The cartridges make it feel like the real steel.

Having some trouble getting both co2 to pierce. That is the only issue - wouldnt change a thing

Mentioned above - my individual piece is having trouble piercing both co2 capsules. This could be user error, we will try to tighten it a little harder next time.

Quite a good gun, Action is just like my 30/30, but it don't kick that hard. 10 Yards in door is excellent, even shooting pellet( set in the pellet with ball-pen) I used only one CO2 + a empty one I can have 55 good shoots.

nothing

I have the Crosman600 and QB's so no problem.

The accuracy, the power (even on only one cartridge of CO2), the realistic lever action, everything! This air gun is fun no matter how you look at it. The gun itself if very durable; by the time I write this review I have put at least 100-150 rounds through it and it works like a charm. No jams so far, and the ejecting cartridges is probably my favorite thing about this air gun. Definitely worth the money!

Absolutely nothing

Make sure you load up on BBs and CO2 because when they say you wont be putting this air gun down, they mean it. It would also be a good idea to buy extra cartridges - the colt peacemaker cartridges work well (at least thats what they tell me haha - I have yet to buy them)

Realistic and a real blast to shoot

Nothing

Buy it you wont be sorry.

Well, it is a fabulous looking gun, the action works well, it is pretty accurate for a BB gun. The gun shoots hard, with only one CO2 capsule, I had speeds in the 620's fps. It is a fun gun to shoot and I do like the sights.

Loading the bullets into the gun is a genuine pain in the ___. Having the spent bullet getting thrown out of the gun and having to capture it Is another pain. And having to unload the air is another pain I hadn't counted on. You are not supposed to leave air in this gun.

Putting air capsules in the gun, loading each bullet with a BB, and then loading the gun with these bullets, is just too much work for 10 shots. I would not buy this gun again because it is too much trouble. But I bought it, and it may well be a collector's item in the future. You will not be unhappy with this gun's looks and the action works well.

I love the authenticity, and how well made this rifle is, as well as how accurate it is.

I wouldnt change anything about it.

Nope.

everything. it looks like the real gun. and act like the real gun. I got it last week and have fired 100 rounds so far. I am trying to find the sweet spot on aiming it. it seems to shoot high or it just me.

nothing. it is perfect.

buy it you will love it.t

The features are cool. Havent shot it yet so cant speak towards accuracy.

I really would have liked a real wood stock. The plastic doesnt look bad, but u notice when youre holding it

I bought this under the impression that it was the new umarex 1894. I have the walther version, the shell ejection is cool. The action is not very smooth, especially compared to the old version, loading shells is also rough. I think its just a stiff spring, and I have hope that this gun will break in very well. Still a cool pellet gun. Im happy I bought it

I like this rifle a bunch . The look and the feel for me are spot-on . For a BB rifle, this is a reel shooter.

About the only thing I would change is putting a RIFLED BARREL and adding duel ammo . I think that would make this a real tac driver .

This I believe is real bargain for the price .
