    Recently inherited WALTHER LG-55 DST .... what a little gem !

    I vote to shoot it. It may not have the power you wish it had, but just the joy of hearing and feeling it fire. I bought one about 3 years ago. It's got the double set triggers as well as the Walnut Tyrolean stock, and was made in 1962. It's in great condition and is a joy to shoot. I...

    R7 San Raphael or Huntington Beach?

    Duckfish...I have NEVER seen a air rifle like this. Is it stainless steel? Or left in the white? That looks like a Crow Magnum piece on the end of the barrel. Where did you get the cover for the absent rear sight? Just beautiful.

    R7 San Raphael or Huntington Beach?

    I guess Pine was the most common tree cut, but I know there are many other species on the bottom of the St. Johns River. But, working with this wood is just so difficult. If I could get my hands on any another species(one without the pine resin - which is what makes it so hard to work with) -...

    R7 San Raphael or Huntington Beach?

    First one I've seen with a front sling stud mounted in the wood - REALLY nice. Do you have a cover plate for the absent rear sight? Is there a source for them that you know of? Everything about it is nice. One beautiful rifle. A friend fabricated a rear sight cover for one of my rifles...

    R7 San Raphael or Huntington Beach?

    That barrel looks really long....I know the muzzle break adds about an inch, but that barrel looks a couple of inches longer than the original .20 cal. What happened?

    R7 San Raphael or Huntington Beach?

    I've got five R7's and HW30's, and am relatively new to them, buying my first one only a couple of years ago. My first HW30 was an Ebay item I stole for about $250. It was an early San Rafael Beeman made in 1977 with the European style stock(finger grooves, smaller dimension, no safety and no...

    Vintage Walther LG55T Double Set Triggers

    Here's an interesting article(dated Dec. 2021) by Tom Gaylord concerning the LG55 with Tyrolean stock and double set triggers. I was a little shocked to read that Gaylord has only seen TWO of these rifles with the Tyro stock and the double set triggers. They must be very rare. Mine is serial...

    Too much time with PCP's, My HW50S Project

    KWK - Thanks for the info, I really appreciate it. And I know if you increase power too much, you lose accuracy. The Iguanas are usually 10 to 20 yards away when you spot them as they rely heavily on their camo. So at that distance, I'm not really looking for FWB accuracy. I wouldn't mind...

    Too much time with PCP's, My HW50S Project

    That's what I'm trying to accomplish. You can't use firearms on the Iguanas, and air guns are the leading favorite of the lizard hunters. I prefer springers, which is why I'm asking for advice on boosting the power of my HW50. I've got several magnum hunters in .17, .22, and .25, but they all...

    Too much time with PCP's, My HW50S Project

    To KWK, Nice looking Walnut stock you've got there. I picked mine up in January 2021 from Jim Maccari as well. I always try to upgrade the factory stock. I think your stock will fit like mine did - perfectly. Your photography is much better than mine.

    Too much time with PCP's, My HW50S Project

    Great looking gun. Glad you picked the right spring kit and stock to get what you wanted. The softer shooting guns feel so good, easier to cock, accurate, etc. However, I'm looking for something on the other side of the fence. I've got a relatively new .177 cal HW50 which I bought for Iguana...

    Tuning Which vortek kit for hw50?

    I've got a HW50 in .177 cal that I bought for Iquana hunting in South Florida. It's got a Hawke 2 x 7 scope co-sighted with a green laser at about 20 yards, which is the approximate distance that we encounter the Iguanas. Using H&N Field Target Trophy pellets at 8.6 grains, it chrono'd at 780...
