I was looking at a cheap and cheerful second hand 177 but saw the LGV new for £275. I watched the videos made by the lads on here last night and it seems to be a very good rifle...does any one own one and are there any issues with stripping it due to the silent system??

 

Cheers

Superb rifle mate, absolutely simple to strip, all they need is a de grease, a polish of the spring ends, and the end of the piston rod, a re lube with a light smear of moly paste, red rubber grease, or similar on the spring, a squirt of dri slide on the piston bearings, and a light smear of silicon oil round the piston seal edges,the power will creep up as it beds in, they usually start about 10.8 ftlbs and after a 1000 pellets or so sit at around 11.6ftlbs, when I stripped mine I added a power washer, which took the power to 11.5 ish but after it bedded in I removed it as it was getting a little hot, dont expect a Wiehrauch trigger, they are ok but not as good, however Rowan engineering do a kit which transforms them, inside they are engineered superbly, get one you wont be disappointed, but in .177 of course.

If i was to do all that i would be spending my money on a second hand gun

It takes about an hour mate, it just finishes off what is a superb product, in all honesty, just making sure the grease that Walther lob in on production has not got past the piston seal is all that is needed, but I like to buff things to a gleaming shine, so to speak, now new HWs require a sight more attention out of the box.

did my pro sport last month, definite reduction in recoil after a good polish. I am now firmly in the home tune camp.....

Looks legit to me mate,if you pay by credit card or paypal, you are covered anyway, go for it, by the way get a decent silencer for it, you will not believe a springer can be so quiet.
