When you grow up on a sheepskin rug watching Bonanza and Clint Eastwood films there's something special about that sound❤😂❤
With you on that one 😂
❤ fire going too, loved all those boy hood westerns ❤ still do.
I grew up watching the man with no name trilogy, too. As well as most of the other old west gunfighter.
And John Wayne. 🤟🏼💪🏼🇺🇸🤠
@bmaxse Alright you guys listen up and listen good because I'm only gonna say it once. The Duke.
Tip from a Texan that started out on a Winchester 1894 chambered in 30-30. Work the lever while keeping the butt in the shoulder pocket.
Lol, same!
I was going to say that. I'm learning to ignore the pain from my 1886 45-70.
Hello from Texas.
Just a tip on using a lever action, keep it shouldered when working the action.
Yeah i saw that too and thought to myself “oh the british”
Morning Andy I have the Umarex Winchester shell ejecting replica and it’s great, it’s bb but I get round the ricochet problem by using excite copper coated lead bb’s. It’s very accurate even though it’s a smoothbore and was £100 cheaper than the Barra, ok it doesn’t have an octagonal barrel and you can’t change calibres but it’s a cheaper alternative for people for pretty much the same experience. I also have the Remington Cowboy 1875 pistol which uses bb’s and pellets for the full cowboy experience 😁
Hi, the Umarex Cowboy rifle will take also run on pellets as well, safer than BB's 👍
@@geetee7154 the excite copper coated lead bb’s don’t ricochet , I have used some pellets as well.
Try pellets in your umarex cowboy you'll be amazed at how well it shoots pellets !! Mine loves pellets !
Reckon this is better than the umarex I have the Rio bravo might get another in a different finish or one of these
Very nice albeit available for only $220 in the good old US of A. UK dealers asking £365 to 400 in rip off Britain 😢
@@cedhome7945 its the taxes
We don't call our homeland 'Rip Off Britain' for nothing! 😂🤣😭
There's a reason we don't get handed a bill in a hospital, or hit toll roads every 5 miles. You can have good infrastructure, or pay less tax, pick one.
@@owensparks5013Some how I do not think that all of the extra £145 plus is all tax
I’d like one but not paying that much!
By far the most intriguing rifle reviewed so far this year. Rifled (tick), Hexagonal barrel (tick). Interchangeavble barrels (not needed but nice thought (tick). Price (half tick). Paint finish (half tick). Power (x). I know what you mean about the hexagonal barrel. When I bought my Henry rimfire underlever I just had to have the hexagonal barrel. I was almost reaching for my wallet on this, but the power level is a little weak. O.k, it;s a plinker, but 6ft/lbs would jhave sold it to me. It would have been nice to see it paper pinching, even if it is a plinker.
Your tick is misplaced as is the reviewer’s miscounted barrel sides. It’s not hexagonal. The barrel has 8 sides. Its octagonal.
@@CaptDAR Well spotted. I see so many references by real gun dealers who dont know the difference between a hexagon and an octagon,. SHAME on them and this reviewer. They probably see the many sides and compare it to a bolt hex head. Makes me really annoyed.
@@geoffdobbin9512 👍 what’s the point of reviewing something and making rudimentary mistakes. Little knowledge of gun history. And what makes it even worse is the number of other comments making the same error like the guy above @PLAYINGAROUND who even paced a ☑️ on it 😂
That is a beautiful bit of kit! I'm still on the old fashioned BSA 22 hand built in Birmingham. A very powerful "fox hunter" which never lets me down.
Great video Andy, thanks for posting. Initially an octagon barrel was standard on the 1866 models, although later round barrels were offered in both rifle and carbine versions. Although superseded by the Model 1873 and subsequent Winchester models, the Model 1866 was sufficiently popular to remain in the Winchester line through 1898.
Not cheap for a fun plinker, but great features and quality. I like it. Great video Andy.
What a terrific toy. My dad god bless him would have loved this. I grew up watching John Wayne, Clint Eastwood or infact any western he could find on the 4 available TV channels in the 70's. Ah the old days. 😀
If that was your dad we must be brothers😄 - when in the 70’s I asked my dad why westerns, he explained that after you’ve worked 3 shifts, piece work doing a hard manual job then the idea of sitting astride a horse under cloudless blue skys with the open range stretching to the horizon was pure escapism.
But.... airguns are not "toys" and should never be treated as such. 🙄
@@007tallguy Always has to ne one lol...
@@grahamedwards9920 I wouldnt have minded that life but you forgot the Marlboros hanging out of your dusty chops.
@@007tallguy but there are fun airguns and serious airguns, this one is one of the former.
Nothing like the sound and feel of that lever action Rifle. The real icon of the West! The click clack of the lever, the smooth load into the breech and the dull boom of the 0.44 slugs echoing across the plains….
Awesome! Ordered one just 5 minutes into the video!
This model was sold as the improved Henry rifle. Nicknamed the yellow boy because of the gunmetal action colour. Much later designated 1866.
I thought the Yellow Boy action was brass & that`s why there is a yellowy gold version.
@@futch2121 gunmetal is a strong bronze alloy of copper,tin and zinc.
@@joefoster8839It was brass
Are you sure about that? Henry rifles have traditionally been tube fed magazines, whereas Winchesters were side loaders. It’s only been in the last 10 years that Henry has introduced side loaders (although they still retain the option to tube load. And they only offer the side load Option on about 5 of their many rifle types.
Oliver Winchester purchased Volcanic arms where Benjamin Henry was a gunsmith designer. Winchester contracted with Henry to make the Henry rifle and obtained the patent.
After a fall out and court case, Winchester gave Henry the factory but he held the rights. Winchester bought a new factory and his chief designer was Nelson King. King created the side load, known as the King gate.
Because Winchester (a shirt manufacturer) was relatively unknown, they advertised the ‘66’ as the improved Henry, which people were very familiar with. The 1873 model was sold as Winchester.
Chuck Connors lives on! 😄
Good evening (from my timezone)!
Reckon thats a must have Pardner. What fun.
Back in the 1970s I had an 1866 by Uberti, Sadly I sold it. It had the Brass frame and was a brilliant rifle. I have been collecting Wild West guns for over 50 years.looks like another one to add to my large collection.Trouble is they keep bringing more and more brilliant replicas out.Oh well soon be Christmas.
The picatinny rail will be useful for attaching a shell catcher when you need one, they don't look great but are very useful and super easy to mount and remove.
If you are shooting from a stationary position, just lay down a cheap tarp for the shell casings to fall on. You can find the shells easy then or just lift the tarp to poor the shells into a bucket or onto a table. A large beach towel will also work nicely for catching brass.
Andy, this is the best Rifle review so far in 2024, it looks superb, love the barrel features Inc changing the caliber 👍
this one was a long time in the making. Barra first showed these off at shot show along with an 1873 revolver circa like 2019.
Looks good, not my cup of tea, but I get it it's certainly one of the best in it's class, won't be dropping any Buffalo with it but a definite threat to all the tin cans out there
Sallam , and Good morning everybody , and OUR Host Andy , 😃 Thact`s a fine looking rifle Andy . 12c n cloudy here and chilly in York .... Have a fantastic weekend ... Thank you Andy
I LOVE this! I have a replica Winchester 1892 firearm in 44 Magnum that looks very similar. I'd love to have an air gun version too. Cheaper to shoot. Thanks for the review.
Having had fun with my son's Red Rider i brought him for Christmas last year, i am very tempted to get the Barra.
Wow this is awesome. A “John Wayne” version of this (IYKYK) would be the stuff of dreams.
The same as you . WEBLEY Tempest 84 perhaps , then A Rifle at 18 . Webley again 1.77 . Been here a while but nice to hear from a Master . 👍
Nice one, looks loads of fun 👍
Thanks again for the fantastic content. Fun and informative.
Since my childhood and the John Wayne movies, I have dreamed of owning a Winchester.
Even though I spent 10 years as an armorer in NATO dealing with real weapons, I'm going to buy one 😄👍
Keep it on your shoulder buddy 👍🏼
I think me and him are on the same page! The first thing that came to mind me about the quality was the octagonal barrel. 😊
Am I wrong here but is the barrel not got 8 sides making it octagonal and not a hexagonal which had 6 sides.
Your videos get better and better! And more entertaining as well! :D
Hexagonal barrel with eight sides? Octagonal perchance?
Tin can ally kids toy 1970s the game I wished for. But sadly never GOT. Happy days ❤❤❤
Goodmorning everyone! Looking out for this review. Have a nice weekend all!
Always enjoy your reviews
This Winchester Barra 1866, changing the barrel, if you can shoot Cup pellets, it is a very good idea, it is formidable, if an exporter brings it in my country I will buy one, because I really liked its realism.
I think that all the weapons could be made replicas but in this style, with this realism, and of all the weapons that have always been manufactured and from all over the world, congratulations, greetings.😎🍀🕸.
I nearly got excited about this UNTIL I realised that it doesn't have the toggle action of the original; instead they've used the Umarex 1894 action which is disappointing. Incidentally, I shot my Canadian cousins antique 1894. It had the best balance I've ever experienced on a rifle AND incredibly light so it came to the shoulder brilliantly. The action was as smooth as silk.
Correct. I don't need a black Yellow Boy with a 94 system.
Why don't you leave it shouldered when running the lever you can stay on target better and shoot of rounds faster.
Pretty decent facsimile of a Yellowboy, for a air rifle at least. Interestingly it actually appears to have an action more similar to an 1894. Seems like a pretty neat little air gun. Wonder if you could swap out the fake wood for real walnut.
Want one of these for me birthday lol 😎👍
Can you change the under lever for a john Wayne loop lever for flip loading?
Wild Wild West, here we come! So cool! I wish I could be a kid again! Or maybe I can be a kid again!!!!!! Yippee
Remember, you’re never too old to have a happy childhood !
Hope ya well Andy. Still doing well. Nice work. Dan.
I believe the shells our interchangeable with the Barra Schofield
yes, they are. 👍
Similar to the Umarex cowboy rifle.
Very similar only barrel shape much different.
The Umarex is based on the 1894 Henry repeating rifle l purchased last xmas, great fun
Another great review and video. Very entertaining. This would look great with the Colt SA on the wall as a pair......time to save the pennies
Excellent Andy wear cowboy hat.
What about if shell get dirty fall on ground. Do they need cleaning before reuse
If there was an air rifle replica of the Lee Enfield I would be so happy.
I have a small collection of actual ones and an air rifle version would be so nice so I’m not paying a dollar for every round fired.
How does it compare to the umerex cowboy
Well slap some bacon on a biscuit !!
Looks like a great garden plinker and I'm with you, that octagonal barrel is rifle p@£n . Had me pausing and re winding anyway !!!! Love how it loads , love how it ejects , drooling over the lever action . I'd even ignore the faux wood . The price unfortunately is what's going to drive this outta Dodge for most I think .
Dave
Thanks
how long before someone does a printed loop guard so you can do the prinning recock?
I'd like to see a head to head comparison between this and the Umarex Legends cowboy rifle.
For something different how about an air shotgun.could they be powerful enough to do pest control?
Generally no because the power output limit is 12ft-lb total which means each pellet generally ends up being about as powerful as a nerf gun… however if you’re talking about fac airguns then I don’t see why not, but at that point just get an actual shotgun.
£399 price tag. I want to buy the cheap £60 pump up version that takes both bbs and pellets.
I would love a non-shell ejecting model like the Umarex Walther rifle
Can you use umerex shells?
Most important question! Please upvote this!
Nope
ASG Schofield shells are compatible
Beautiful carabina
To be fair it’s a great gimmick and I do like it.
Did you find all the shells in your garden???
Some thoughts gone into that. Nice review. Sadly not a "YEEEEHHAAAAA", in sight.
Isn't the safety switch backwards? Should be push to fire.
FYI the hexagon barrel was available on the real rifles from the very beginning, going all the way back to the Henry 1860.
Great video… now get me two shots of red eye… and a saspirilla for the boys! 🤠
The only thing I'm not too keen on is seeing daylight between the barrel and the magazine. I don't think I've ever seen this on original lever action rifles.
I wonder if the underlever mechanism is made of proper hardened steel or if it will break after cranking it a couple of hundred times.
Barra also do a nice Schofield 5" barrel revolver.
We only get the Schofield 6” in the uk… I’d like to get some of the others.
The only gun from Barra I want.
Not really a fan of oldies. But this thing looks pretty amazing🎉
Do you know of an airgun 10 pump pellet thats not made of plastic i can order?
Another great informative video
A word of warning, the standard single action army revolver shells DO NOT FIT, they are slightly longer so it seems that the Barra has its own shells. Plus Andy the barrel has EIGHT sides therefore is.....octagonal, sorry .
Nerd time (see "Winchester...An American Legend by R.L.Wilson Page 26). The hexagonal barrel featured in the first named "Winchester" under lever in 1866 and was nicknamed the "Flatside"). I have 3 FAC Winchesters and a stainless steel Umarex under lever with scope (as per Jurassic Park) - great fun. Just watch out for dirt on the expelled dummy cartridges. This Barra looks fine but not sure why you would want to change barrels - the .22 is best for plinking?
A Mare's Leg version of this would take the biscuit.
The look sorta' reminds me of the old Daisy 1894.
Why you lower the gun to lever it? Keep in target while doing that
Fantastic I’ve been looking forward to this review for some time and can’t wait to get one to have a go with. I’d love to know how you think it compares to the Umarex version. It seems to share a lot of hardware - I wonder if the rifled barrel would fit the Umarex version and significantly upgrade the accuracy of that?
Would love a pcp mod for 12ftlbs
Great review as always Andy, glad this is pellet not bb as I've had my fill of them not working and mags jamming even on the glock gen 4 would you believe? Just wish they would get the power up to at least 6ft lb
I hope somebody in his ingenuity, create an airgun, that can use the stock as co2:reservoir (tank)'so to retain the original look of the rifle?
Where can you use it? On Saturday nights at your local country and western dance!!😊😊😊❤
I see the paint is already wearing off at the loading port. I have the gold version {faux brass} and it's exceptional and showing no signs of wear. {gold plating vs black paint}
Nice looking rifle. I have the Umarex Legends Co2 Lever Action .177 and absolutely love it. How does the Barra compare to the Umarex?
What is the diameter of co2 capsule? Because some brands doesnt fit. They are to fat and cannot be placed
I've often worried about birds picking up and eating lead pellets. Does anyone know if they do this?
Andy, are you related to a bloke called Dave, whose TH-cam channel, Dave Takes It On, is trying to make me love electric cars? He sounds just like you.
Yeah that price point though, tsk tsk. Loads of air guns and BB co2 like this that are great looking fun and in truth I've spent more time plinking and can killing than any other type of shooting but you are well on the way to a hunting power break action air rifle that is probably wood stocked, better metal work, doesn't need aftermarket co2. The air rifle covers the whole market, this is what it is. I'd wince at £200 never mind £365.
Looking very nice 👍👍👍👍👍👍🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴
I like it and pellet as well nice
Cant see the point in the interchangeable barrel ?
How many shells being chambered did it take to wear that cheap paint off the feed slot?
The rifle used was a demo rifle that had been used for the whole of the IWA show and other reviewers, So I can only assume it had seen an awful lot of action before I got it. testament to its construction really. Stay safe.
You should have tried the john wayne way of cocking it 😅
Any way to mod the power on this?
Andy,where can these be purchased from, please.
Before giving details, do mention , the caliber first!?
Very Nice.
I wonder if the ASG Dan Wesson 715 revolver shells in .177 are compatible with this? If so, I'm definitely interested, as I have a bunch of those. Greetings from Finland!
Hi MKnife, the Dan Wesson shells aren’t compatible, but ASG Schofield shells are!
Morning all
Is the rail removable?
Yes
