Umarex Legends Co2 .177 Cowboy Rifle, Shell Ejecting "Full Review" By Airgun Detectives

[@steelanut1]

Best review I've seen on this gun. Thanks for explaining the silver vs the gold shells. Good job! Subbed.

[@AirgunDetectives]

I appreciate you watching 👍😉

[@mr.sinister1279]

Umarex makes very good detailed replicas cuz they have the rights however ther internals are constantly breaking and some of the parts are hard to get but this rifle will one day be in my collection.. good video 🤙

[@KiLLJOY1056]

It’s a Replica of the Winchester 1894 chambered in .357 for anyone wondering, and wanting accessories or shell holders! And i think if you used a 5 grain alloy pellet, youd get both the best accuracy and power. C02 loves lightweight pellets. And that was an awesome story about your grandad, youll cherish that rifle forever!

[@frama7844]

You can load, chamber and even eject .357 Magnum dummy rounds!

[@garyweisbrodt4440]

One of the other reviewers simply put pellets in the BB shells and got good results.

[@rogercrawford772]

I have one of those great rifles and the legends colt saa 5 1/2" revolver (antiqued finished), make for a good looking matched pair and interchangeable shells are a massive bonus. I shoot pellets in both.

[@AirgunDetectives]

Couldn't agree more Roger. Thanks for watching!👍

[@HD-ph1dc]

I like your reviews more than most. I like how you chrony everything, and check triggers, ect! Very good review. More than likely, the rear sight is drift adjustable.

[@AirgunDetectives]

Thank you for watching....I think the videos improved with time 😉

[@andersgrassman6583]

Thank you for another good video! I use your videos and Andy's Airgun Reviews as trusted testers, to make purchase decisions. And I got this rifle, in chrome finish, a month ago. Spring temperatures are still very low, so I've only shot like 400npellets. But I'm very pleased with it. It's insane fun and feel! And the precision is more like normal airrifles - nothing like other BB-guns. I think some chance circumstance gave you a greater spread in the test with pellets than with BB's. (And anyway, I don't understand why one would want to put steel balls through your fairly expensive gun's bore?!)

[@AirgunDetectives]

Actually these are designed for BB's because it has a smooth bore barrel. Pellets really need a rifled barrel to perform at their best. They should release this with a rifled barrel but then Umarex would be competing against itself since they put out the Walther Lever Action Pellet rifle. Happy Shooting!👍

[@andersgrassman6583]

@@AirgunDetectives I chose in between the Walther lever action, and this one, but decided the Walther was too much alike a shooting experience, compared to my Umarex Hämmerli 850 / M2, which also has a rotary magazine and rifled barrel. And with a weaver rail fitted, and a scope with QD, I also get to shoot that one with open sights. (Another gun purchase where your testing was very helpful in deciding!) I'm kind of old school, so I really love the buckhorn-style sight on this gun. But it's the shell ejecting which really makes this gun special! Just put a blanket under you, so you don't loose the shells too quickly! ;-D Otherwise the shooting cost gets comparable to powder powered guns. At least with the costs of ammunition in Sweden. (I sewed two cheap blankets together.)

[@GaryK2025]

I like the target box your using. Being able to place cans, bottles, etc is great. Did you build that? Can you share that in a video so that I can get/build one. I'm sure yours is also a trap to catch spent bb's or pellets. Thx

[@AirgunDetectives]

Yes, that is my custom pellet/bb trap. I built that about 5 years ago and I have thousands upon thousands of rounds into that. You can purchase everything at your local hardware store with the exception of the steel plate. I will cover that in a future video. Thanks for watching!

I remember putting peep and aperture sights on my 3030 Winchester in the day, will be easy to do that with this as well?

[@lydenkids5924]

How do I get both co2 cartridges out I only could get 1 out

[@huealert7193]

so you can run pellets and bbs through this?

[@johnluke6122]

650 fps is not bad on a setup like this. Strong enough to take out pests cleanly.

[@AirgunDetectives]

I would agree! Thanks for watching!!

[@HD-ph1dc]

Have any of you guys tried to put a little petroleum jelly on the inside of the shells at the gasket with a q-tip or something before you chrony them. It might speed it a little (less friction). What was that old motor oil (Slick 50) supposed to teflon coat things. Just wondering.

[@AirgunDetectives]

The key is a good seal. I remember "Slick 50" quite well 👏😉👍

[@airgunsairsofts9490]

Great channel. I live in the south of Brazil and I have one of these rifles, or something similar because I only use BBs. Can I use pellets too? Or does this video model allow the use of BBs or pellets? My rifle is the UMAREX Cowboy Rifle. Or are there models that use both types of ammunition? Got a like for the excellent presentation of the video. Objective and easy to understand. I also subscribed to the channel.

[@AirgunDetectives]

Thank you for watching. This is the same rifle I just tested it with the pellet shells. So, it can shoot either pellets or BBs.

[@airgunsairsofts9490]

@@AirgunDetectivesThank you so much for responding. I was in doubt if I could also use pellets as I thought it could damage the inside of the barrel. Can I use the same cartridges used for the BBs or are they different cartridges? Here in Brazil, unfortunately, it is not available for sale. I will have to buy from abroad. Thanks again for your attention. Sorry about my English.

[@paulellis1966]

Glad I found your channel look forward to seeing more,quick question do I need pellet shells or can you put pellets in the bb shells

[@AirgunDetectives]

Hi Paul, you will actually need the silver colored pellet shells. The diameter of the inner sleeve is slightly larger to accommodate the pellets. The same shells they use in the western style colt single action pellet pistols. Thanks for watching.

[@mrtwinkels7085]

Great, so now i have a reason to buy the Revolver also. My wife will understand :D

[@AirgunDetectives]

You can never have too many airguns...LOL Although I don't have enough hours in a year to shoot all mine..👍

[@jimboord927]

Long term durability on lever action?? Whats your opinion?

[@AirgunDetectives]

Mmm...hard to say, but it appears pretty solid for a $200 rifle. The build quality appears above average. I have not heard of many complaints and it appears to have pretty high ratings across the board. 👍

[@jimboord927]

@@AirgunDetectives Thanks for your service and the good videos! And the reply. Look forward to future vids.

[@AirgunDetectives]

Thanks Jim!!

[@highwayxj9397]

Is this safe to shoot pellets with the silver cartridges?

[@AirgunDetectives]

Absolutely safe for the silver cartridges...Pellets are great for shooting steel targets and they ricochet less than BBs. This does not have a rifled barrel so you don't get that benefit for accuracy. But pellets do quite well. Thanks for watching 👍

[@highwayxj9397]

Airgun Detectives great! I just ordered this from Umarex USA. I got the bundle that comes with the Colt. I also ordered extra cartridges for pellets and BBs as well as a leather butt stock cover with loops to hold the shells. This is a really fun rifle, but I do recommend getting extra cartridges for faster reload time as it will make it more fun to shoot

[@Robert111]

The most accurate ammo I've found for this rifle is the H&N (green) lead-free domed. I think they are 5.6 grains. FAR more accurate than Daisy BB's

[@KERNFUZED]

Where do you get the pellet shells? Can u give me a link

[@AirgunDetectives]

All the major airgun retailers have them. Just check on line. 👍

[@highwayxj9397]

I spoke to Umarex USA directly, and they said that they do not recommend firing pellets out of this gun, even with the silver cartridges. They claim the gun is not designed for pellets. What are your thoughts?

[@AirgunDetectives]

You can shoot pellets out of it with no issues whatsoever. The company line is it is designed for BBs since it has a smooth bore so they tell you to shoot BBs. Pellets are just fine but you need the pellets cartridges. To make that rifle the perfect pellet shooter it would need a rifled barrel. But Umarex sells the Walther Lever Action that shoots just pellets in a similar 30-30 style. There are several pistols out there that have smooth barrels that shoot BBs but they also sell pellet cartridges. The Crosman SNR357 and the Schofield to name a couple. Again you can shoot pellets with the silver cartridges. Thanks for watching and I appreciate your comments. 👍

[@highwayxj9397]

@airgun detectives, thank you! And I hope you don’t think I was trying to challenge you on your information. It’s just I want mine to last as long as possible and I don’t want to do anything that could possibly hinder it

[@northerncowpoke7020]

Can you hunt small game or any birds? Or squirrels

[@AirgunDetectives]

The rifle puts out less than 6 FPE. To be kind to any type of pest elimination I personally would need a minimum of 10 FPE. Thanks for watching.

[@marioschrysanthou2703]

Hey there, good luck with your airgun reviews , so far you're doing a great job.can you compare the legends lever rifle with the Walther lever action rifle? Nobody has done this so far..and I don't know which one is better to buy.

[@AirgunDetectives]

Great idea. I have the Walther rifles as well. I will do that!! Thanks for watching!

[@highwayxj9397]

One last question(for the moment😂😂😂) How many shots have you gotten out of this rifle would you say? And does it ever need any maintenance or cleaning? I have an air gun cleaning kit to go with it

[@AirgunDetectives]

Around 90 shots. Just wipe the outside down after every use. I like to spray wd40 on a micro cloth then wipe the gun down. Also a drop of oil on the morning parts every 800-1000 shots. It's a very low maintenance gun.

[@highwayxj9397]

@Airgun detectives, thanks! I didn’t mean per co2 load. I’m mean how many times have you shot it since you owned it roughly

[@AirgunDetectives]

@@highwayxj9397 maybe 300 rounds. I have too many guns! Not enough time☹

[@AlfredoArbe]

looks great, but is not a rifle, its a kind of shotgun instead isnt it? I can easyly dream with a PCP version, .22 cal, rifled barrel version!

[@Grayson1048]

Hello! I just bought this rifle and went to shoot it, but it is extremely loud. So loud, I had to stop for fear people would call the police or something. Yet, yours is super quite. Could you please share your insight with me on this? I’m worried I got scammed. Regards

[@AirgunDetectives]

How many times have you shot it? My rifle and most others are really quiet. These are very backyard friendly. If it does not quiet down after 150-200 shots, exchange it as defective. Try your luck with another👍

[@Grayson1048]

@@AirgunDetectives Thanks for the reply :). I shot it around 40 times. Yes, I notice yours is a lot quieter. Great, thanks your your insight :). Just one question, why would it quiet down at all after those 200 shots? Shouldn't a weapon be persistent in that aspect?

[@AirgunDetectives]

I was giving the rifle the benefit of a proper break-in period. Maybe your release valve was letting out too much air or sticking a bit, thus creating a greater sound. At 100 plus shots your rifle should be what it is. I would exchange it if it is too loud and hasn't quieted down. It could be defective.

[@Grayson1048]

@@AirgunDetectives Great. Thanks for all your advice :). Regards

[@andreacastro-malakowsky8708]

I got one new and the trigger jamms every other shot (yes I'm pushing & pulling the lever all the way.)

[@HavocMaster]

Do that test again with bb's and hold the trigger fully pulled with you thumb on the hammer pull the hammer back as far as it will go & just let go of the hammer it will stretch the spring adding more co2 in the valve. 700 fps

[@AirgunDetectives]

Will give that a try👍

[@tomcleave2622]

Sadly I just saw this, these are worst of all the Umarex guns of which I have most and in some cases I have more than one in the hopes I'd got got a bad one. With both my M1 A Carbine I have two with the wood and the cowboy rifles they were broken after the second or third outing. A great gun would lasts at least a few dozen outing. My actual Henry levers are very reliable and my real M1A carbines as they are very magazine sensitive as are the real ones.........
