Barra Airguns: Company Overview

Barra Airguns was founded in 2018 by two lifelong friends with a deep passion for the outdoors and shooting sports. Barra Airguns Based in Bentonville, Arkansas, the company has quickly made a name for itself by blending classic firearms design with modern airgun technology. Their mission centers on innovation, quality, and affordability.

What Sets Barra Apart

1. Design & Authenticity
   Barra airguns often draw inspiration from historic firearms, producing models that capture the feel and look of iconic Western designs. Their rifles and pistols tend to have a very authentic, “old-west” aesthetic.

2. Wide Variety of Power Plants
   They offer a broad product portfolio, including:

   • PCP (Pre-Charged Pneumatic) air rifles (e.g., their 1100z series)

   • CO₂-powered rifles and pistols (such as lever-action repeaters or single-action revolvers)

   • Pump models (e.g., multipump pneumatic) for users looking for simplicity or lower-cost operation

   • Performance & Customization

   • Their 1100z PCP rifle (Gen 1) is rated for up to 1100 FPS in .177 caliber.

   • The Gen 2 version of the 1100z adds a regulator, raises the fill pressure to 3,500 PSI, and improves the barrel for better accuracy.

   • They use quality materials in construction: the breech and scope rail are machined from a single block of metal in the 1100z, giving strength and rigidity.

   • Stocks are adjustable or ergonomically designed: e.g., the 1100z has an ambidextrous comb-height adjustment.

3. Fun & Thematic Models

   • The Barra 1866 is a CO₂ lever-action replica of a classic frontier rifle. It even ejects “shells” for realism.

   • The Schofield 5″ and 7″ revolvers are faithful CO₂-powered replicas of the historical Smith & Wesson Schofield revolver.

4. Support & Community

   • They provide spare parts, including O-rings, through their website.

   • Their Trustpilot reviews show favorable feedback: many users praise the build quality, packaging, and value.

   • However, like any brand, they have some reported issues — for example, users on Reddit have raised points about CO₂ seals and pressure leaks.
