LGM-1 Takedown instructions needed

[Paul G.]

Hi I recenctly purchased an LGM-1. It has a bit of resistance in the compression tube it shouldn't have.

Can anyone point me to instructions or pictures of taking the piston out of the compression tube. I need to see exactly what is going on in there? I think the plastic shims may be worn or ? The piston friction is higher than it should be when it is almost to the end of the open stroke (before it contacts the trigger mechanisms - shouldn't do this). I tried a tiny bit of lube on the shims - still not right.

I'm mechanically inclined but would like to learn the easy way if previous knowledge is available.

Thanks,

Paul G.

Look on Walthers web site, they have downloads of all the old guns, user manuals, but also breakdown drawings which are useful for doing repairs, and then full parts lists.

I found a spare parts view of the LGM-1 on Walther site and a manual for LGM-2, but these two docs leave a lot to be desired.

Any other sources I might get a bit more insight from?

Thanks,

Paul
