Walther GSP .32 and .22 barrel nM torque

Post by MartinF »

Hello, I hope this message finds you well. Could you please advise me on the appropriate torque specifications for attaching the barrel on my Walther GSP, specifically for the .32 and .22 models from the 1980s and 1990s? Thank you!

Above is for the Expert version manual.

There is little changed in the GSP since the late '70's up to the current GSP500 other than trigger assemblies and barrel mounting pin between the Expert and older models (the pin is on the opposite side of the other). Have never heard of or seen any torque info re the GSP. Just tighten the barrel to the frame and/or upper to the frame until there is no movement between the 2. Check the fit occasionally between the two.

The one area that you should be careful of is tightening the grip to the frame. If you tighten it too much, either the grip will crack or the mount on the frame will break. Use a regular, NOT T-handle, Allen wrench for the grip. The T-Handle allows too much force as some GSP and Perazzi shotgun owners have found out by cracking/breaking their grips/stocks.
