Hey just got my brand new DW 715 6" pellet version from Ark and then have the case from Replica-airguns. Although the case looks not designed for the 715 serials but it's still a great look after putting the gun in it!

And I gave 5 stars over 5 for the out looking of the gun.

After sight-in the rear sight of the 715, I found it is not having a very tight group. Anyway it's still very fun to shoot a large revolver like that especially the 715 uses the rear-in shell and no more screw (up) with the plastic caps in the previous DW revolvers.

And this evening, while I enjoying my wiping on the shining surface of the 715 and put in back and take it out again and again with the case. I noticed something odd... looking from the muzzle, this 715 just like a .22 not a .177 barrel... And then I used my cleaning rod of my 1322 to insert it into the barrel from the muzzle, I put almost 4 inches into the barrel!!

SO! I doubt the "rifled" barrel of this 6 inch 715 actually is just 2 (or maybe 2.5) inch which is their shortest barrel version?? And the outer 4 inch actually just like an extender only?!

That's no wonder pellets went through a 6 inches long rifled barrel can NOT make a tight group in a 10 feet range...

Sigh... a little bit disappointed. But still okay as it's for completing my collection and I can't find any other revolver looks better than it (I don't like the old west peacemaker look) IMO and I am not going to use it to do pest-control... Maybe I should get a BB version?

Yikes! You got me worried.
I have examined my 715 pellet version:
The rifled barrel is recessed 1/2 inch in from the muzzle and runs about 5 1/2 inches to the mid point above the cylinder release latch.
It is fully rifled that distance. I cannot push a .22 cleaning mop from the entry to the recessed rifled barrel from muzzle .

My indoor shooting is seated with a rest @ 18 feet with my hands/ wrist supported as it is too front heavy for me with unsupported two hand hold. I usually get 3/4 inch groups with a small laser on top . Not on par with a S&W 686 but not bad. Longer distance with most CO2 pistols would open up groups.

The few reviews on the internet suggest the shorter barrel 715 is not as accurate but more balanced.
If , with another look you don't find this measurement compares with mine, you may have a factory defect.

I also have the 715 steel BB which is as accurate.This model does require frequently turning the push rod that spins the cylinder and eject the shells as it works loose and makes it difficult to open cylinder release latch.

I will post some more pictures tomorrow as I think I can get a digital measurement tool to check it out too.

Yep. ..just checked its website, it won't answer consumer questions...
I see, just don't have the flash light handy and not doing that yet, I will post some more pictures tomorrow as I think I can get a digital measurement tool to check it out too. ..

You know you got a flashlight mode on your phone?

I still stand by my measurement for rifled barrel start/stop. I don't have a black ring which, in your photo looks like a O ring.
Hopefully other 715 pellet owners can weigh in on this puzzle.
