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.

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 ...

Re: KK500 Maintenance
I was looking for the same information, And figured the best source was Walther USA. I was wrong. Email and phone calls produced a promise that someone would get back to me...crickets. It is a wonderful trigger and I would like to keep it that way. I've used lighter fluid on other triggers, but woul...

Re: Walther KK500 rod guide
Thanks for the kind words, and btw I do recognize you as rbs. I don't have the capability to machine that de-cocker into the guide, but I found out I could cock and de-cock by hand.

Re: Walther KK500 rod guide
Nearly all of y'all know this, but I'll say it anyway. Most worn out rimfire barrels were ruined by cleaning rods...mostly from the rod contacting the chamber throat thousands of times. A standard one piece rod guide has to be large enough (i.d.) to accept a jag with a patch or a brush or other impl...

Re: Walther KK500 rod guide
The insert stays on the rod. The guide stays in the action. I keep three rods w/inserts....20 with nylon .22 brush, .20 with .22 jag, and .20 with .22 bronze brush.

Re: Walther KK500 rod guide
Yeah, I researched on line to see if anyone else was using o-rings on the outside of the body, and saw those. Believe it or not, I didn't see that before I made my first one about 2 years ago. I only own three rifles and have made guides for them all. The KK500 was the simplest. I test every guide f...

Re: Walther KK500 rod guide
Yes, my guides are aluminum. I bought a couple of guides from Mr. Madison in 2018. I called to order a KK 500 guide in 2020 and he had retired. That' s when I made my first guide.
My guide will make you smile when you insert it in the action.

Walther KK500 rod guide
I wasn't happy with the rod guide that came with my rifle, so I made my own. It came out way better than I expected. It's very similar to Jeff Madison's (Mwerks), but with a much longer insert, and o-rings on the guide body as well as the insert. It fit's in the action like the insert fits in the ba...
