Happy girl at the air rifle arcade....

[fortyshooter]

Just a pic from my birthday fun at my Back Door arcade. Macie had a fun time after quickly learning how to hold,aim and shoot an air rifle. She got quite a few good hits on some of the targets and wants to go down to the range again to shoot the .22 rimfires. That Walther .177 Co2 rifle is a touch heavier than my Henry .22 Carbine.

Love it! Good for her and good on you for helping her.

Darn it, I had no idea this rifle existed. Is yours the original type or the new version with 88 gram bottle? I hope the steel finish new ones get here, nobody has them now, I think that might be my summer birthday gift.

Thanks for posting, I like to see happy kids learning to shoot.

Also, was wondering if there was enough extra room in the butt pad to drill a hole for clearance with one of these refillable hpa bottles….

I have had this rifle for a several years and it is the nickel plated one with the large 88 gram cannister. I use an adapter that takes 2 of the standard 12 g powerlets. That refill deal looks like a good idea.

I enquired about making one for this model, he said I could repost this.

Me: Hi, would it be possible to cut down a bottle enough for it to work in a
Walther CO2 lever action with the butt pad installed??? I think the user
would have to use a deep socket on the hex of the new inlet check valve
fitting to screw it in and back out, but I think it would work perfectly
fine otherwise.

Alliance: I don't see why not. I'd just have to cut it down and reweld it. I'd
pressure test it before shipping and would require some sort of
liability waiver before it blows your cheek off…..
You'd probably want the gun first so you can measure the stick out, so I know how much to cut off. Also note, of course, that you'll get less shots per fill.
You can post my info. For better or worse, most people already know my site.

So maybe you could contact him, with measurements of the free length or space behind the end of the 88 gram bottle, so he would know how long to make this. His Contact page:

If I had a gun and went this route, I would refill with a small hpa buddy bottle regulated to 1100 or 1200 psi. Alternatively, I guess you could drill a hole in the butt pad and attach a tether line, to leave it hooked up all the time, though that would look pretty weird and make it impossible to shoulder the gun.

I am already using his Diana Chaser tether adapter, it works great, but it is at the front of the gun…. He does all sorts of custom work including firearm finishing.

If you do proceed with this, please start a thread so I can be kept up to date.

40, you have an imagination. The things that you come up with. You seem to think outside the box. Reminds me of Benjamin Franklin.

Forty, that smile is priceless. I think lever action air guns are a lot of fun too! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks! Always thinking and doing/making things which keeps me active in the senior years.

Yep she loves to shoot that S&W Victory .22 pistol and now wants to try the Henry 22 lever rifle now.
