Title: Barra 1858 BB Pistol
Post by: Airjason on March 09, 2024, 09:06:48 PM

I got this pistol this week, first shots with it. I missed a lot, but that's how it goes with something new in the hand.

   Thanks for your interest. I am not too fussy with the bbs I use. I still have a couple of 6000 bottles of Copperhead bbs I bought from Sports Authority before they closed down in my location (10years ago?). I also reuse the bbs I find in my backstops, I pick them up with a magnet. Velocity is at 390fps on my Barra 1858, and I notice the velocity drops as the barrel gets cold with quick consecutive shots. Getting about 90 shots per CO2 cartridge.

One did come home with me from TS, still in the box in the closet waiting for some attention.
