Replica Airguns October 2026 Mystery Unboxing - A Cowboys Dream
Getting a mystery box from the Canadian Replica Airguns warehouse feels a lot like Christmas and we are getting closer to Christmas... Today's unboxing was a tall package, and while it contained some excellent accessories, including Gear Stock 6mm airsoft BBs, a UV-activated Airsoft tracer unit, and a LiPo safety bag—the real highlights were two very distinct lever-action rifles.
Barra 1866 Tactical Lever Action CO2 .22 Caliber Pellet Rifle
The first rifle out of the box is the Barra 1866 Tactical CO2 Edition. It takes the classic 1866 lever-action platform and gives it a highly modular, modernized upgrade.
Initial Thoughts & Basic Specs:
Ammunition & Power: This model is a .22 caliber pellet rifle that runs on a dual CO2 system housed in the back.
Realistic Operation: It features a fully functional shell-ejecting system and includes ten metallic shells.
Smooth Action: Operating the lever action on this rifle feels incredibly smooth.
Tactical Upgrades: The tactical design includes top and bottom Picatinny rails and an octagonal barrel.
Sighting: The rifle comes with a front sight and a versatile rear sight that functions as a notch or flips up into a peep sight.
Daisy 499B Match Grade Champion Lever Action BB Rifle
The second rifle is the Daisy 499B Match Grade Champion, famously billed as the world's most accurate BB gun. It feels essentially like a highly enhanced Daisy Red Ryder on steroids.
Initial Thoughts & Basic Specs:
Premium Build: This is a full-sized rifle featuring a beautiful, fully wooden stock and forend. It is noticeably longer and more robust than a standard Red Ryder.
Action: The metal lever produces a heavy, satisfying clunk when cocked during a dry fire.
Competition Sights: Built for precision, it utilizes a front peep sight and a very small rear peep sight.
Extras: A heavy-duty shooting sling is included in the box.
Target Audience: While it is a fantastic platform for younger shooters, its larger size and premium quality make it highly suitable for older youths and adults.
I am incredibly excited to put both of these lever actions to the test. I will be producing full tabletop and field test shooting videos for both rifles very soon, so stay tuned.
