N/A Walther LGR 1980

[Gunnertrones]

I did a minor correction to the stock on this iconic 10 m competition Walther LGR from 1980. Think it looks better now, especially after refreshing the wood and lifting the grains. I plan to mount a scope, and see how it works on further distances than it is built for.
It didn’t shoot (no compression) when I bought it recently, but after replacing seals in the breech, valve and piston, I am optimistic.

Again your workmanship is exceptional.
I bought the same rifle this past summer. Gorgeous rifle.
I was under the impression it was very complicated to work on. You sparked some renewed interest. Crow

Mounted a superlight March 2-8x, and tested the rifle today. Beer cans at 60 meters no problem. To cold outside for a real precision test, but looking good so far!

Beautiful, and accurate out to 60m! Awesome stuff!

I remember having to make a spanner from a socket when I did my LGR. Did you make one or ? I wish I had a spare Walther barrel from this era to play with in a RAW

Well, I have seen the videos, and read about the special tools used for the valve, but I used a plier, and it was no problem loosen/fasten the valve.
I was a bit concerned using the plier since the recommendation was the "special tool", but no harm was done to the screw holding the valve body.

Brother in arms…..
Got this Walther lgr running target now. Very pleased, and think the two lgr’s fill out each other, and the aprx 40 years girls carry their age very well. I would say flawless
