Page 2 - Winchester M14 CO2 Reviews

I purchased this rifle because it resembles the M14 I used in Army Basic Training in 1965. Other reviews have stated that a surplus wood stock could be fitted without very much wood removal, which is a whole lot better than having to put wood back. I have read that a way to decoy thieves is to make the cheapest gun you own easy to find, and often they would take that one and leave. This gun would look nice hanging over the fireplace and would make an excellent decoy. Since I live in a very urban area of CA and do not know where I could go to shoot this thing, it will probably just live over the fireplace.

In addition to adding a wood stock, I think I will mill out the slots in the simulated flash hider at the end of the muzzle for a more authentic look. To get the slots straight I would use a mill, or at least a drill press with a x-y table.

I have seen surplus M14 stocks, complete with metal parts, at gunpartscorp.com. They have various ones, including a good condition WALNUT one for seventy some dollars, slightly more than the cost of this rifle. Is it worth it? You decide.

Expect a synthetic light weight rifle. The open sights are quite accurate st 15 yards. It does put all 16 pellets inside the black of a 10 meter target. Real speed expect about 630 FPS with a wadcutter 7.4gr. Plan for 80 good shots and up to 100 before it really shows a sever drop at 15 yards. For the price and fun one can get, it will be very hard to beat. Buy it and have fun and remember carrying it years ago here and over there..

The trigger needs to be vastly improved. An option for a wood stock would be appreciated.

Buy at LEAST two additional magazines or more-you will use them with a smile.

Fun and accurate. Ok for the price. Lots of plastic.

More metal or heavier stock.

None.

I like the looks of the Winchester M14 air rifle and that is why I ordered it. I can't comment on its operation yet, since I haven't had time to use it.

My CO2 air rifle did not come with an operator's manual. Since I have not previously owned a CO2 air rifle, I had no clue how to load the CO2 cartridges or how to operate the rifle. Thanks to your customer service department I was able to get the operator's manual online.

I was very surprised how good it looked & the size. I will have a lot of fun with this.

I like the adjustable rear sight and the dual cartridge system (in theory). I also like the realistic safety lever.

Terrible quality-control from manufacturer. Cheap-looking plasticky stock detracts from the appearance. No tool compartment in the buttstock (all my cheap airsoft M-14s have this, why not the Daisy-Winchester?) Terrible valve and firing pin issues. I've never gotten more than 64 shots out of any Daisy-Winchester M-14, before something breaks. Although I purchased this M-14 from Pyramyd Air, all post-sales support is from Daisy. That means plenty of e-mails, phone calls, and lots of trips to the Post Office sending broken parts and receiving replacements.

Both my Daisy-Winchester M-14s were defective. Daisy was extraordinarily helpful and courteous. Their customer support department went to great pains to help me. They sent me two free replacement CO2 clips on the first M-14, which didn't help. They replaced my first M-14 free-of-charge (including free shipping for everything). The second rifle had good valves, but the firing pin wouldn't hit the center of the pellet skirt. It would strike the edge of the skirt every time and jam at every shot. I tried several different clips, with no difference. Both my M-14s wouldn't fire pellets, as they jammed at every shot. I tried an assortment of pellets (brands and styles), all jammed in one way or another. BBs didn't jam as often, but weren't as accurate as the pellets. I finally just gave up trying to get these air rifles working properly. Now I use the M-14 for decoration in my shop.

Everything looks good and it shoots true.. My son and I like it.

If it came in back you'd have a winner and I'd like to see a one piece magazine..

Relax and let the good times roll. This gun is a sheer joy to shoot.

Replacement seems to work as described.

Whats not to like the price is right the rifle shoots straight and true it is easy to load and light weight. I shoot it on my 10 meter range and can say it performs like some of my rifles costing hundreds of dollars more. I prefer shooting 10 meter target with the M14 and can say only good about this very affordable tack driver. A great choice for a first buy rifle. A great choice as an addition to a seasoned air gunners collection.

The traditional brown color on the stock. Good for traditional type but I customized it and now the M14 sports a Matt black stock. Easy fix.

The rifle is set up for two co2 cartridges but unless you like wasting your co2 load one live and a used cartridge. This will allow for completion of a 10 meter target sheet and is sometimes all the time one has to squeeze a little fun into a busy day. Buy it you will love it.

It has the look and feel of an m14 like the one I had in basic training.. Excellent engineering and fun to shoot

nothing. Will an m14 bayonet fit on it?

excellent buy for the money. I would recommend it to everyone.

very accurate

needs a little more weight to it.

Beautiful looking replica until you pick it up.If someone offered a wooden stock for this as an option,I think it would sell like crazy.

shoots very nice

It looks too much like a toy

plastic stock this thing looks like a toy

For $79.99 I'll admit that my expectations were pretty low. I'll also say that at first I didn't much like this air rifle. Within an hour my opinion completely changed! First for the bad: The dual CO2 system takes a little getting used to. It does use a lot of CO2, especially for a non GBB, but I've decided that that's okay. When I first fired this rifle I didn't think it was working. There is essentially no recoil and my target looked like I had only put one or two rounds through it, which brings me to the good: This gun is a tack-driver! At 20 feet, free standing, my groups are well under 1/2 inch! The rear sight is great. Once you get it dialed in it hits exactly where you aim. I actually prefer shooting match-grade BBs rather than pellets through it. While steel BBs are probably rougher on the bore than lead pellets, they are easier to load and shoot just as straight! My wife and I put roughly 500 BBs through it last night. That's how much fun it is to shoot! My wife loves it!!

Not much. Yes, everything is plastic, but for the price I can't complain. It's very reliable, looks good and it shoots straight!!

Considering that everything is plastic it still looks very cool. I put a 1.25" M1 sling on it which dressed it up nicely. As I mentioned earlier, at first I didn't much like it, but after about an hour and 500 shots I decided I really did like it a lot! It's super accurate and very easy to shoot. I've only had the gun for a day but I've encountered no malfunctions or quality issues. There's a Picatinny rail mount available but I like the M14 style sights which work great and I don't plan on adding any optics to it. For the money, this is a really fun M14 replica. Highly recommended!

This Airgun looks awesome. It has the ability to somewhat quickly shoot 16 pellets. The price is not too bad for what you get.

The clip/Magazine is very unreliable. The magazine has two 8 round speed loaders, however on both of the clips I ordered only one side will lock into the Airgun, thus giving my airgun an 8 round capacity vs the advertised 16. This Air Rifle has adjustable sights on the rear sight, allowing the operator to shift his sight picture left and right, however the ability to adjust the elevation of the pellet defaults to Kentucky windage. My Air Rifle hits about 4 inches low at approximately 15 feet. The only way to counter this is to aim way above the target. I thought I was purchasing an Air Rifle that had the ability to adjust POA/POI. I bought this to teach my son proper shooting techniques without having to travel to the range. I can't use it for that now but it does have the ability to put a scope on it. That is the only way to save this Airgun from being completely useless.

Accurate, light weight, ease of use, FUN to shoot.

Use a brown polymer stock. Include another pellet clip. Be honest with fps claims. I got 350 fps on new co2 in 80 degree weather using crosman 7.9 grain pellets.

I don't recommend using bb shot due to the rifled barrel. This is a FUN and accurate rifle to shoot. I would give the rifle 5 stars if the manufacturer was honest on their fps rating.

It looks great, so real looking, and it's a long gun.

I haven't had any issues with the gun, shoots great. I would use some metal when manufacturing it, also it would be nice if the stock and forearm where wood. it's really light.

It's a good gun, fun to shoot, bb's are flying fast.

the rifle looks fine

when trying to adjust elevation had to figure out which direction to go with the knob to bring it up, an arrow on knob with up direction would be great

I haven't really shot to many pellets thru it because it keeps jamming and that is becoming a pain in my a_ _, so I think I'll just hang it on the wall of my man shed

I LIKE THE REALISM, FEATURES AND OVERALL FUNCTION OF THIS RIFLE. NICE PRODUCT AT A DECENT PRICE. ($20 LESS THAN AMAZON, THAT WOULD NOT SHIP TO MY LOCATION)

This is my first pellet gun. I carried the M 14 in Vietnam and this one comes very close to the real one. It is a lot of fun to shoot in the back yard. I am surprised how accurate it is.

I would make it a little heavier.

It is worth the money spent and it will get you addicted the this sport.

Absolutely fantastic awesome rifle
