Marlin Cowboy Lever Action BB Rifle Chrony Test

dont you want to be my dad!? hahaha

[California6567]

This video attracted me because the way I got to love airguns started way back in 1972 when I was 14. I went to Canadaian Tire and bought myself a Daisy Buck bb gun (rifle) I remember that it held 400 bbs in it's reservoir. I had so much fun with that gun. It would break the old stubby beer bottles at 40 feet. I next was given a Crosman Peacemaker revolver in 1975 as I gift. That hooked me !

[switchingtomac]

@California6567 It is one my most basic air guns but still just as fun as any of them.

[MrCapone9211]

How much is it?

[switchingtomac]

@MrCapone9211 I'm not sure, I paid $40 of mine in Canada.

[elasticunderpants]

i want this so bad but i just got the american classic 1377 and I'm good with that for now.

[switchingtomac]

@elasticunderpants The 1377 is a nice pistol!

[tooniner]

I shoot #2 pencils with mine at 15 feet. Check out my video here on youtube.

[Countryboyhad]

I got this gun...it didn't even shoot ONE bb...never chamber....and when i pull the trigger there was no noise or anything to signal that the bb even come out or to see if the gun was working...

[switchingtomac]

@Countryboyhad Sounds broken to me, take it back and get a new one!!

[Countryboyhad]

@switchingtomac trust me...i just printed out the label to get a refund...it's gonna take a week to get money back in this card!!

[tooniner]

@Countryboyhad Actually, sounds like it was on SAFE to me. Mine has worked flawlessly through about 1,000 BBs shot. In fact, it seems to be getting better with use: easier to cock, easier trigger pull, less oil discharge from the muzzle, and resulting better accuracy. I am also getting used to the firm trigger.

I admit that it occasionally fails to feed a BB, but that it to be expected due to the design and is no worse in that regard than the modern, steel handled Daisy 1928b Red Ryder.

[Countryboyhad]

@tooniner don't want to sound rude but i did EVERYTHING in the instructions...and i returned it anyway....gonna save for the Benjamin Marauder

[Chumbbo]

I like this gun better because its more of a solid "poof" than a "clink" with the red rider

[25ghr]

Hello , I got The marlin cowboy at Christmas , its very good and a lot of fun but every now and then it does not chamber a BB, is ther any tips on how to avoid this , or is it a usual problem with lever action BB guns , I have many airpistols and shotguns , but this is the first old style BB gun I have aquired,,, GHR

[switchingtomac]

@25ghr Hold the gun on a 45 degree angle upwards when chambering a round, it helps.

[25ghr]

@switchingtomac Thanks for the tip, does having a full capacity , of BBs help as well,,

[switchingtomac]

@25ghr I am not sure, I usually only load what I am ping to shoot, 50 or so at a time.

[stitches611]

@25ghr just hold the gun with the barrel upwards a bit, but dont barrel sweep

[25ghr]

@stitches611 Thanks for the tip, it seems to work ,,

[FromTheIslandNapkins]

a rifle based gun with no rifling is technically a musket.

[switchingtomac]

@FromTheIslandNapkins It's what it represents, not so much what it is? "Marline Cowboy Lever Action Musket" doesn't exactly roll of the tung...

[bowandarow12]

the daisy red ryder is so much nicer

[DEVOTED2NATURE]

whats more accurate red ryder or marlin?

[switchingtomac]

@DEVOTED2NATURE The Red Ryder seemed to be for me.

[neodoc1976]

Бррр...Аппарат явно на дизеле стреляет,смазка выгорит-не будет там 300 fps.

[MarkusForL4jf]

Thinking of getting this gun soon, is there any other cool airguns with multiple bb capacity? Tired of loading each shot one by one, lol. Living in Sweden btw, nice video.

[terriost24]

this is the most redneckist gun i've heard of out of my life no offense

[RyNsWoRLD]

what would happen if I used a plastic bb rather than a metal one? I don't have a huge amount of space (all I'd be doing is shooting tin cans off a wall)

[switchingtomac]

@RyNsWoRLD Airsoft 6mm plastic BB's will not fit.

[25ghr]

@RyNsWoRLD in the UK you can get 4.5mm plastic BBs called plinkers , SMK do them , I do not know if you can get them in North America ,,

[reachboy1]

What the range ??

[switchingtomac]

@reachboy1 It probably shoots out to about 30 feet with decent accuracy but can shoot further with less accuracy.

[scorpian676]

I'm interested! Buy me one? :)

[xarvid1]

were can i find the most powerful gun under 150 bucks?

[switchingtomac]

@xarvid1 You can get a chinese SKS for about $99! It shoots 7.62×39mm rounds at 2410 fps.

[deathpunish2]

@switchingtomac Where are the $99 SKS???? Here in the states, they've jumped to $250 lowest....

[switchingtomac]

@deathpunish2 In Canada the Chinese ones are about $99.

[j510t]

how does that track speed exactly

[switchingtomac]

@j510t It has a sensor on the front and back and figures it out based on the time difference between the two.

[SoloDholSocietyOFC]

what do you do when this gun gets jammed or stuck... the trigger wont pull.. :( please help me ...thanks

[SoloDholSocietyOFC]

good stuff bro u got good vids

[switchingtomac]

@SoloDholSocietyOFC Thanks :)

[SlimYalta]

Меньше пиздеть, ближе к делу!

[007spartangamer]

holy fuc# on his 6th bithday are you insane im 12 and i cant have a bb gun for my parents i hate this world-.-

[switchingtomac]

@007spartangamer When he is 6 and if I feel he is ready, I will give it to him but not unsupervised. Every kid is different and your parents may not understand guns, when people don't understand things they tend to fear them or avoid them. If I was you I would start by educating yourself and your parents about guns without ramming them down their throat. When they see that you are being responsible about it and trying to educate yourself about guns and gun safety they may change their mind.

[007spartangamer]

@switchingtomac ok

[amech2134]

@007spartangamer im 11 and i started shooting my dads crosman 2220k i think it was when i was about 6 then reciently arround christmas a friend of my family gave me a beastly crosman 140 22 cal pel rifle and it rocks when you do get one stay away from co2 for atleast rifles you will go through co2 fast and it is expencive to shoot betwene co2 and amo

[Jesus4Shred]

why is the barrel smoking/steaming when you shoot it?

[mikethenascarfan]

can you ship to ny?

[switchingtomac]

@mikethenascarfan I don't sell the Marlin Cowboy but I can ship my other stuff to NY.

[mikethenascarfan]

@switchingtomac i have been checking out the website- looking for some cheap accurate guns- i have the red ryder and crosman 760- any suggestions?

[switchingtomac]

@mikethenascarfan We don't have too many lower priced guns other then the Crosman 1088 and Umarex HPP Blowback.

[mikethenascarfan]

@switchingtomac no problem bud-

[mikethenascarfan]

@switchingtomac is there a way you could give me a one shot deal and ship this to me?

[switchingtomac]

@mikethenascarfan You can buy them in the US easy. This one belongs to my son!

[mikethenascarfan]

@switchingtomac really? may i ask where? i have a red ryder... is this better?

[switchingtomac]

@mikethenascarfan I would think most places that sell airguns, you can buy online form Pyramyd Air too.

[mikethenascarfan]

@switchingtomac i really apprieciate it- they would ship to ny?- you earned my sub

[switchingtomac]

@mikethenascarfan NY does have a lot of restrictions, you will have to check with them on it?

[mikethenascarfan]

@switchingtomac i'll have to figure out how- I love my ryder

[CanItAlready]

Crosman's claiming 325 fps on their website.

[switchingtomac]

@CanItAlready Funny, it says up to 350fps on the box.

[CanItAlready]

@switchingtomac

Noticed that. I wonder which they consider correct.

[Connorconquerer]

I got real gun and I got Springfield m14 colt but bb guns are good for havein a shoot around

[YouthFreedomFighters]

The smoke coming out from the barrel upon firing the gun no doubt has to do with the oil that is used to lubricate it. When I was a small child, I had this toy gun that would make smoke by using oil. You would put oil down the muzzle and then when you shot it, it would somehow make smoke from the oil as a great special effect.

[switchingtomac]

@YouthFreedomFighters It is cool!

[YouthFreedomFighters]

You don't have any girl children, do you? If you did they do make certain pink stock bb guns.

[switchingtomac]

@YouthFreedomFighters I have a daughter but she is not into guns at all, she is a girly-girl and that's OK. If she becomes interest in guns then I can look into a pink gun for her ;)

[YouthFreedomFighters]

@switchingtomac Oh well, I am running a contest where the winner gets a free pink stock marlin air rifle.

[switchingtomac]

@YouthFreedomFighters Good idea!

[switchingtomac]

It's called a Chronograph, made by a company called Chrony. Here is the link to the company:

shootingchrony(dot)com

[YouthFreedomFighters]

So what is that device you use to measure velocity? I would like to get one and use it to compare the Marlin's velocity with the Red Ryder's velocity. I might make another video where I compare them with that.

[YouthFreedomFighters]

Why not get your son a brand new Marlin, still in the box?

[switchingtomac]

@YouthFreedomFighters He can have mine, I don't mind and I am sure he will not either.

[YouthFreedomFighters]

@switchingtomac Well if you get him a brand new one in the box, you can then put it behind a desk for Christmas and point it out after all the other gifts have been opened and say Santa left it.

[switchingtomac]

@YouthFreedomFighters I bought the one I have to give to him, I have the box for it and he will get it much like you suggest and I'm sure there will be a big grin on his face!

[YouthFreedomFighters]

@switchingtomac Well that would work too, or you could just put the rifle under the tree, out of the box and all. My dad did that when he got me a kentucky rifle cap gun for my 7th Christmas. He put it right next to a remote control army tank which was also out of the box, it was a great Christmas!

[GTAtomten]

Is it possible to attach some sort of a scope to this gun?

[switchingtomac]

@GTAtomten There is always a way to do something but I don't think it would be easy with this gun?

[GTAtomten]

@switchingtomac Alright, thanks for the answer :) Guess i'm gonna have to tape it on then.

[elvensbane]

I'd agree these style guns are good for starters, i had a red ryder when i was little then i moved up to a crosman single pump rifle and hacked the barrel REALLY short then moved up to a powermaster 66 then to gamo whisper lol, i've always loved bb / pellet guns. Just for the simple fact that you can aim them really high and not have to worry about killing your naybor next door lol.

[switchingtomac]

@elvensbane There is something really appealing about air guns in general. For me it's the simple fact that at any time I can load one up and shoot it out my back door! Safely that is :)

[TheBennie102103]

Mike, I have two of these guns and both have that smoke come out when shot, It kinda smells up the house after shooting for awhile, it reminds me of a campfire smell somewhat, I have shot alot of rounds and the smoke keeps coming, do you think it's meant to do this, it dosen't state that it should on the box, lmk, thanks Dave, Nice review.

[switchingtomac]

@TheBennie102103 Do you keep yours oiled up, I know on the Marlin Cowboy, there is a hole to put a few drops of oil into to keep it lubricated. Maybe pressure and the oil are creating the smoke. Personally I like the effect it gives :)

[TheBennie102103]

@switchingtomac I have not put any oil yet in either gun, I might be aproching 300 shots now on my first one I bought, I will oil it, but the smoke doesn't seem to be fading away, I like the effect it gives also, but the smell can be a little much indoors. I have a Red Ryder that has no smoke at all when shot, and I've oiled that one a few times now.

[TheSwitijs]

@switchingtomac Hey maybe there is a screw that you unthighten and the lever will be easier to cock?

[switchingtomac]

@TheSwitijs There is a spring inside that causes the tension. If it where easier then it may not shot as fast?

[YouthFreedomFighters]

@switchingtomac Yes, thats probably why the Red Ryder doesn't shoot as fast, because its easier to cock.

[switchingtomac]

@michealati2 I am alway working on something...

[switchingtomac]

@michealati2 I evntually want to get then C31 as I like the look of the Walther P38 and this is a pretty good replica of it. There is no reason why you can't get them both. Just have fun with your 1088 and when you have some more play money, go and buy the C31. The guy sure know how to shoot!

[jakeanddar]

Very similar to the Daisy Red Rider,I also could have picked up this gun at the local outdoorsmen show we went to for $29,I know I should have brought more money! Great video Mike,take care.

[switchingtomac]

@michealati2 The Crosman C31 is a BB only un without a rifled barrel. It is not always about fps and how many rounds it holds. I would rather have the 1088 because of the rifled barrel and ability to shoot more accurate pellets.

[YOYOBOY666999]

Good vid, as you say nice consistency. I would rather have a lower power gun for plinking with good consistency than a higher power one with wildy fluctuating fps.

[odst201]

that looks alot better than a daisy

[switchingtomac]

@odst201 I think so too!

[mwmwmwmwmmdw]

when does the contest end and can you enter more than the 2 times?

oh and i have seen this gun at my local wal-mart ,and i do live in Canada

[switchingtomac]

@mwmwmwmwmmdw The contest ends at the ed of April, 1 entry per person with an extra ballet for spamming your friends.

[Ironmaiden666trp]

Nice!!
