Re: Walther KK500 Torque Values

No. The spacers in the photo (1/2") have not been cut to size...will lose about 1/3 of thier length.

Re: Walther KK500 Torque Values

Golfshot, Forgive me for not disassembling my stock, but I did buy an extra set of hardware. It's just basically four aluminum spacers ,(aluminumspacers.com....11/64 id, 5/16 od). You have to rebore the four holes in the stock. (Don't do this if you don't have access to a mill), cut the spacers clos...

Re: Walther KK500 Torque Values

I actually made four tiny aluminum pillars for the four small bolts; and used a drop of blue Loctite on all five bolts. I'm at about a case and a half, and my torque driver still clicks at 3.5 Nm. I imagine the bolts would loosen a little bit directly through the wood with no Loctite. 3.5 is what Wa...

Re: New Olympic record

WOW! I'm not a 3P shooter, but I assume the stock is at least as important as the rest of the rifle; or maybe more so. But $6000.00 and it doesn't go bang? Lord.

Re: Picatinny rail for KK500?

Correct on the barreled action at today's price. Walther benchrest stock (like mine but $100.00 higher now) Robert Oberle...$409.00...today. I had two previous Customs. 10x 3l, and Di Orio turbo, both with shilen ratchets smithed by the best. Both were close to $4000.00 by the time I was through, an...

Re: Picatinny rail for KK500?

My barreled action and stock were $2700. I had it in two weeks. A good custom action, barrel, trigger, stock; assembled by a good smith...$3500 or more?Maybe a year wait? Maybe a shooter, maybe not?

Re: Picatinny rail for KK500?

Tim, how many US benchrest/Fclass shooters would be shooting a KK 500 if they knew what it is capable of out of the box? I Shoot against some of the best RFBR competitors and custom equipment in this country (US). I'm the only one there with a factory rifle. Indoor, I've finished 14th of 20, 9th of ...

Re: Picatinny rail for KK500?

Carlos, I did get your p.m. Actually the Amazon rail might work better as it must be slightly relieved underneath to sit atop a curved action rail. I had to file a small groove in the bottom of the EGW to allow the bolt stop some movement. I also can highly recommend ADM Quick detach mount. I was am...

Re: Picatinny rail for KK500?

Carlos,

I ended up with an EGW rail. It probably will not set forward enough for prone mounting. Shells eject cleanly. It's also available in a 20 moa.

Good luck,

Gerry

Eley's the only thing readily available. Midas and CenterX are gone in hours or minutes on the secondary market.

Thank you,

Re: Trigger shoe

Easy. There is a small socket head cap screw in the bottom of the shaft. You can't see it unless the rifle is upside down. One of the Allen (hex) wrenches from your Walther tool will tighten it up.

Re: KK500 Maintenance

Weird , huh? I'm not insane. I shoot benchrest and the only thing I come in contact with on the entire apparatus is the spot indicated by the arrow.

Re: KK500 Maintenance

Nicolas, I call it a shoe. I've got a Senseive that I've adjusted as far down as possible with a lump of modeling clay on the cusp. Probably twice as far from the fulcrum as designed.

I doubt any of y'all would be comfortable with 6 grams.

Re: KK500 Maintenance

I was asking because I use an old Walther with a really good barrel. For me the trigger works fine but I can't get the trigger weight down as I'd like and I wonder if a bath in a cleaning product might improve its operation. You can reduce pull weight by extending the lever. It will not affect the ...
