It seems there are few "Winchester" lever-action looking air-guns around.
How do most of these "work" ? Is it CO2 or can such a short movement actually load a spring?
How do the magazines work in them? Are they all internal or do some have removable magazines?
I'm mainly looking one that has quite heavy-duty internals OR overly simplistic ones that can be easily made from better materials. I have access to a metal-shop and even 3D metal printing. Small parts arent that hugely expensive and i could model them myself.
Last but not least, i'm planning to "convert" the gun into 6mm airsoft BBs as all airsoft lever-action guns are cheapo chinese junks that really dont perform well or break down due to poor materials. It will be downgraded in terms of power to our standards. Quite a few air-guns have been converted into airsoft succesfully as the overall "tech" is quite similar. Some air-gun makers also sell directly converted and power-downgraded pistols to airsofters. Kinda sad the rifle-makers havent done that yet.
