 Comments: The Walther Lever Action, made by Umarex in Germany, is a great replica of the Winchester Model 94. The lever action is very smooth and the trigger has a crisp, single-stage, break. The rifle uses two CO2 cartridges that are held in the stock. It uses the same 8-shot magazine as most other Umarex CO2 guns. Accuracy is very good.

Performance: Measurements were made on 12/10/06 at a temperature of 61 ºF and 14' elevation. A ten shot string was fired from a bench rest at 15' using H&N Finale Match pellets (8.1 gr). The highest velocity measured was 580 fps, the lowest was 431 fps (average of the 10-shot string was 490 fps). A six shot string fired with open sights grouped at 0.44".

Lever  Action: Working the lever cocks the hammer and rotates the pellet cylinder into position for the next shot.
Loading Pellets: Pushing in on the cartridge loading door causes the pellet compartment to swing open. The pellet cylinder is placed on the spindle with the "gears" pointing toward the butt of the rifle.
Loading CO2: Two CO2 cylinders are clamped into the cartridge assembly and the assembly is then installed in the butt of the rifle. The handle of the screw used to clamp the cylinders must be pointing forward when the assembly is inserted.
