We are developing a CO2 powered 1866 rifle. There are a few details we want to get right before we go into production, so it will take a little longer than we were originally projecting for it to hit the market.
Barra model 1866 co2 lever action in .22 I just got and installed the .22 barrel. 408 FPS wit H&N Hammer domed pellets. It took some finessing with the pellet cartridges, some pellets were a no go, CPHP for one, I found H&N Excite to work quite well,, but I did have to debur the shells as there were rough edges that snagged on pellets and most likely would of caused a no fire or jam. I took a rotary bit and cleaned up the burs and then pushed a silicone lubed felt cleaning pellet through each one to clean out swarf and also would leave fluff if there was a missed burr.

James, do you happen to have the Umarex version ( Legends cowboy) as well?
