Walther side-cocking air rifle
The Walther LGM1? I am sorry, but I do not know that one. But I have used extensively the old LGR compressed air side "spanner". But that is more than two decades back.
According to the current Walther catalog, there is no LGM1 available.
The catalog can be viewed at: www.carl-walther.de/english/sport.
You can also contact Carl-Walther by e-mail.
The LGR (could it be the predesessor of the LGM1?) was a moderately reliable air rifle. It had, however, no effective compensator, and so the muzzle flip was disturbing, and that made it a bit difficult to shoot well.
There was reported som problems with leaking valves of the pressure chamber of this rifle, as with the pistol counterpart (under-spanner).
The Walther LGR was "defeated" by the FWB 300 match series, which incorporated the now abandoned sliding-rail recoil "reducing" system. It was a bit odd, but it reduced muzzle flip markedly.

My LGR was extremely reliable for the 12 years I shot it. Only drawback was the effort of cocking it, which when I wasn't practicing regularly, got to be too much of an effort for me. Decently recoiless, easy to replace seals.
To the original question, could you be refering to the LGR-CM ? Which is the same LGR model with an adjustable checkpiece.
