This Springfield Armory however is not the same Springfield Armory we know today. The M14 rifles were manufactured by Harrington & Richardson, Thompson Ramo & Wooldridge and a company some may be familiar with then US owned Springfield Armory. These two service rifles would share several design features and general aesthetic but end up having two very different roles in our Nation’s history. The M14 would replace the venerable M1 Garand which is chambered in the equally impressive 30-06 cartridge. Rifle Cal 7.62×51 rolled off the production line into the hands of our military men. The first production M14 rifle, also known as U.S. My advice right now with uncertainties about if and when we will get new inventory is buy now if you are in a position to as I am not sure how long they will last and when we will be able to get more stock.Īction: Internal Bolt Blowback single action.The year was 1954. I am looking forward to getting out and actually shooting the Umarex Legends M1A1 Blowback CO2 BB Machine Gun when I make my Field Test Shooting video. Umarex went back to a less aggressive closer to a single stack magazine on the Umarex Legends M1A1 Blowback CO2 BB Machine Gun which has a fewer rods but is expected to feed more consistently. The only issues I had with the Umarex Legends MP40 was the double stack magazine feeding dependability with the 50 round double stack magazine not always feeding consistently.

Going to eat up CO2 quickly in full auto mode but you can always switch over to semi auto.Īnother great Legends product from Umarex, maybe even the best one so far.Price is getting up there a bit but still worth it if you are an M1A1 fan, imagine what a real one would cost?.Maybe Umarex will offer this down the road? Real wood hardware would have been cine and added it of additional weight.Internal bolt blowback will give a bit of recoil feedback feel.Great looking replica of the real steel M1A1 in looks, operation and feel.Umarex went with less rounds to get away from the double stay configuration of the 50 round Legends MP40 which was not always dependable.

The blowback operation will give you a little bit of that shoulder tap but of course nothing like a 45 caliber M1A1. Even the magazine holds 30 rounds just like the real steel Thompson M1A1. Realism: The Umarex Legends M1A1 Blowback CO2 BB Machine Gun is a 1 to 1 replica of the real steel World War II Thompson M1A1 Machine Gun and is very authentic looking with similar operation. Overall the fit and finish is really good, mechanical parts work well and seem to be well machined. It weighs in at a hefty 7.75 pounds which is lighter than the real steel version by about 2 pounds but keep in mind the simulated plastic wood grips are a much lighter than real wood would be.
Pretty much everything that is black is going to be metal on this CO2 airgun. Stay posted for my future Field Test Shooting video coming later on.īuild Quality: The Umarex Legends M1A1 Blowback CO2 BB Machine Gun is pretty much all metal other than the stock and pistol grip. Trigger pull is not very long or heavy.Īccuracy: I have not done my official Field Test Shooting Video for the Umarex Legends M1A1 Blowback CO2 BB Machine Gun but expect to to shoot in a similar manner to the Umarex Legends M1A1 Blowback CO2 BB Machine Gun. Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Umarex Legends M1A1 Blowback CO2 BB Machine Gun is single action only so you will need to charge the bolt for the first shot just like you would on the real steel Thompson M1A1, after that the blowback operation will charge the bolt which allows for semi and full auto shooting. Action: Internal BoltBlowback single action.Īmmunition Capacity: 30 round full size drop out magazine.
