To set the record straight, you only have to remove 3 screws and the butt pad to adjust the trigger. If you do need to take the whole side off for any reason you don't need to remove the side lever as this easily feeds out through the stock. The beauty of the Walther Reign is that everything is very accessible and very easy to maintain. Nothing Fancy. Pure Utility. Well done Umarex.
The magazines have a capacity as follows: The .177 magazine takes 11 pellets, the .22 takes 10 pellets and the .25 takes 9 (the description at 5:43 is not quite right)
BEWARE! If you remove the right hand stock shell to access the trigger (or for any other reason), the push through safety button is free to come completely out releasing a tiny detent ball bearing and spring to fly off into the blue. If you manage to find these it's then a real pain to get them back in. Put the safety in the "Fire" position before you remove the cover and leave it there until the shell is back together.
Thanks for the tip, nothing worse when something pings off into the ether, and you then wish you had left things alone, or stripped it down in a cardboard box; been there done that.
One awesome tip. Do not own one - yet at least - but would definitely want one.. And a heads-up is always welcome - even though I am prerty good nowadays to search for very tiny airgun parts all over the floors..😁😁
I have 3 Walther Reigns, 2 x .177 and 1 x .22 and have taken them all apart to swap the cocking lever to the left hand side. I have gone a lot further than this to satisfy my curiosity. The Reign is so simple I'm confident I can dismantle and reassemble it blindfolded. I have never had a problem with the safety button coming away. I have deliberately removed it on one occasion and it is fiddly to put it back but my advice would be that there is never any need to dismantle the safety button.
@@KS-nm6li I have the Original and M2. In fact I love this air gun so much I have it in M1 .177 and .22, M2 in .177, M2 in .22 FAC and M2 in .25 FAC. The M2 has a slightly heavier barrel (without a shroud) so it is naturally more accurate. The Walther barrel is outstanding anyway no matter whether M1 or M2. It is a fantastic air gun and as I said previously, pure utility.
@r.b.6619 I think so, yes. I use it in mine quite a bit. I'm fortunate enough to have a very long garden so I set targets and pellet catchers towards the bottom (around 60 yards). Quiet enough with the suppressor on.
We try to be as eclectic as possible, but it seems to be the Turkish and Chinese airgun manufacturers are the major innovators, followed by the UK and Germany, with very little from the US.
Most of this air rifle is in plastic, even the trigger is plastic I believe, lots of hollow space inside the plastic stock so noise reverberates, very ugly with bolt holes all over the stock, how this retails for up to £800 is beyond me, the manufacturer is laughing all the way to the bank 👎
WOW!! Opening the gun up shows the horrible plastic stock. If they’d of used a better material it might be worth the high price. Sounds proper tiny and hollow when fired. Maybe it would be a viable option if it was around the £500 mark.

Mark, you only need to remove the 3 butt end screws to adjust the trigger. The butt pad then pulls out to access the trigger grub screws.
Noted, thanks for that

Thanks for that
And, by the way, they are among the best and easiest magazines of any air rifle I've come across.
I’ve got the mk1 - had it for sometime - a brilliant little rifle.
The M2 is shaping up nicely.
That’s a nice 👍🏻 one! . Thanks Mark for the review.

@@monvermincontrol8454 Do you have the m2 and the Original?
IF so,
which do you prefer and why?

I've got the Reign m2 in .177 and absolutely love it. Great for both target shooting and pest control
Is it back yard friendly?

Another nice review of the Reign. Definitely would want one.
That gun will be a legend amazing for hunting so accurate love it
Can you advise about where & what I need to attach a strap to carry? Thanking you in anticipation.
We want to see more Germany, UK, and USA made products. 👍👍👍

Is a single shot tray available?
Not with our tester
How do you like the M2 next to the Stoeger Bullshark knowing you shot both?
Por favor puede realizar un review del reign original y si se le puede colocar valvula reguladora y pude traducir español gracias.
M2 of unregulated pcp whats make it sense of that gun
Eleven with .177, ten with .22
Sounds very loud even with the added silencer
Have u tested it, is it loud?
It's a shame they made the barrel 100mm shorter.
What a ball ache to adjust the trigger
Check out Jeff McCall's comment, it appears you only need to remove the butt pad, did seem a bit long-winded.
Yeah, bit of a faff. Although it's not something you need to do regularly TBF.
Lot a plastic by looks of it, not so keen but nice to see review.
Yes the whole outer shell is plastic and you do get some noise as you cycle the action
Very good review . But yep very overprice gun anywhere in the world😯😒😣😔☹😔
I lie the short version but US does not carry this.
And its unreguled
Power is very low in my opinion.
So camera man walked infront of the shooter ,that was dumb
