Have you ever owned a 97 Mark

Yes Jimmy, at the club, just not for me.

 

Lovely rifle but not my cup of tea.

Sorry to throw a spanner in the works, but the Walther LGV or LGU are the best out of the box springer, in fact better than a lot of "tuned" springers, the trigger is not quite as good as HW or AA but can be sorted with a kit from Rowan engineering, they are silky smooth, ridiculously quiet, and engineered inside to a level HW or AA can only dream about.

[mark williams 7,558]

I have heard this Charlie but as yet, I have not had the pleasure of shooting one.

As a lot of my hunting is static and these guns are not the lightest in town, I was recommended to try one and that was the under lever, the LGU i believe ?

 

Heavier the better for static hunting off sticks, can`t complain with the guns I have at present but yes I have heard exactly what you have said.

I have only owned the LGV Mark, and my goodness was it accurate, and the first time I put a silencer on it, I thought there was something wrong with it, I have NEVER experienced a level of quietness like it in a spring rifle, it was almost pcp quiet, as I have said the only gripe for me is the trigger, its serviceable, but not as good as the other big two, but apparently with a Rowan kit, is every bit as good, will I have another? too damn right I will one day.,

Well there she is. Picked up this morning and now waiting to get out to a permission to zero it.

Initial impression - built like a tank and twice as heavy.

While I was in the shop, a gentlemen came in to return his leaky Daystate for repair.

Well, you pays your money, you takes your choice!

[Baldcoot 2,352]

Like Mac says clean the barrel and degrease her and when your ready have a look at Vortek or Welsh willy tuning kits .Mines already ordered itself a W/W kit pity about the months wait but im reassured by a few people its worth the wait atb and good hunting

[LuckOrJudgement 437]

Tomorrow morning early doors for the zero.

In the meantime, fired it at a paperback (Death In The Afternoon by Ernest Hemingway) versus my little nephew's SMK Syntarg, for a point blank penetration test.

SMK: Accupel lodged at page 38.

97: Accupel lodged at page 152.

 

Who needs a chrony when you've got a library?!

[Baldcoot 2,352]

Just remember dont use a politicians head they,re too dense to penetrate with a pellet

[charlie caller 3,654]

Get it stripped and de greased asap, so if there are any factory turnings floating around, they will not embed themselves in the piston seal, a good polish of the piston,spring ends, end of the piston rod, and a decent top hat and delrin spring guide, such as the very good and inexpensive Tinbum kits, will transform it, a little moly paste or red rubber grease on the spring, some dri slide on the piston and some silicon oil around the piston seal, job done.

[LuckOrJudgement 437]

Charlie, re the dri-slide for the piston and the silicon oil for the piston seal - which products/brands should I use?

Thanks mate.

[charlie caller 3,654]

Get some PURE silicon oil mate, and as for the dri slide, you cant go wrong with muc-off ptfe dri slide chain lube, its on fleabay in little spray cans, for around a fiver, very good stuff indeed, just make sure you check your rifles power, not only just after tuning, but after a few hundred pellets, as they can creep up mate, and dont put moly grease on the spring, moly paste, or red rubber grease, and make a thorough job of de greasing it before you do anything, it pays dividends mate.

Feck me Tim, where has this rifle been hiding ?

I chucked one of my 100`s silencers on her tonight and you could have blown me over with a feather ! - What a transition !

 

I`ve got a HW 100 with a mainspring !

 

Pure silk, accuracy to die for, "spits fire" so, so quietly.

 

Boy is this lady gonna get some hunting time with me !

 

" What a springer" !!!
