Reasons to not buy Umarex WaLther Reign MK2

[Jimmij]

Personally I have some big problem with it, new one. After 30-40 shots it started to leaking from barrel. Ok, sended it to service.
Also I don’t like the trigger adjustment: screwing or unscrewing those two screws of mechanism- no matter, the trigger works not good/smooth anyway. + it takes a long time to remove and put back the plastic.
There is no degassing valve or way to empty the air tank, except of dry shooting(!)
You need scuba tank to fill it from 0 bar. Hand pump - not enough pressure.
Magazine: it works properly only with diabolo pellets, not slugs.
You can’t separate full air tank from the rifle. Not adjustable.
This is like that, not marketing reviews on Youtube.

Hiya Jimmij,
Maybe i got a good one but i've got the opposite opinion on my Reign mk2.
Have to admit removing the stock is a bit of a pain. The Reign is far from being the only gun to require filling from a dive bottle when empty though & surprised yours struggles with slugs as the mk2 magazines were apparently designed for pellets & slugs.
Mine is as accurate as anything else i own & even after shooting 1000's of pellets through it it has been & still is faultless.

The one I had was faultless. Only reason it's got moved on was the annoying ping in my ear.

So Umarex is lottery? Like some products “made in China”
I was surprised that we have to sand plastic detail in mag, to fix it for fitting slugs. Other way it’s not working normally, sticking/blocking when the flat point of slug touches the plastic springed “door “ in it. Thanks that there is couple of videos on Yotube how to fix it.

Still made in Germany (apparently) so even the Germans must turn out "Friday afternoon" guns.

@Jimmij Sorry you have had such a bad experience with your gun. My son had his for a couple of years without any issues. He's only recently sold it because he's decided he doesn't like bullpups. His only comment was he felt the back end was light and was going to fill it before he decided to sell.

Hi Jimmij just to let you know, you don’t have to separate the two halves of the stock to adjust the trigger. Just remove the 4 rear screws then pull out the rubber butt piece, then separate the stock halves at the rear just enough to slide the Allen key in between the two halves so you can adjust the two trigger screws.
Also I would not take too much notice of that magazine video. Everyone who has a Reign knows that the pellets won’t rub on that plastic bar because when it is in the gun that plastic bar retracts. It’s only in that position when the magazine is out of the gun.

I have a mk1. And I find it a very good and capable gun. Yes it a marmite gun i.e. you love it or hate it. I haven't had a problem with mine apart from a damaged silencer that was clipping my pellets. It looks good it feels good I get good grouping at 25m I am very happy with it and like it a lot.
