Walther LG300 Problem

I just bought this from an ad in the classified section. I filled the cylinder to 300 bar and took it outside to sight it in. I got off a couple of shots then nothing. The sound when pulling the trigger is louder than when on the practice mode, but no air is metered.

I emailed the person I bought it from and he said he had it happen to him once. He said he bled the air out of the cylinder, refilled it and all was well. I bled the cylinder down to about 220 bar and reinstalled it. The gun fired normally and I thought all was well. (except the AD from the pellet that was left in the chamber which I fired into the carpet in my office)

I took the gun out today to try sighting it in again. Same problem. I got one shot off, a second that hit 4-5 inches low, then nothing. I bled the cylinder to zero and refilled it to 200 bar. I got one shot that sounded normal, one at reduced noise, and one slight puff and click.

I have an LP300 pistol and have not had any trouble with it. Is this something I'm doing? Do I need it rebuilt? This is the most money I've ever spent on a gun and I'm not a real happy camper. If I have to have it worked on professionally, does Scott work on Walther? Or do I have to send it elsewhere?

It deffinately sounds like a serious fault to me, and one that needs looking at by a qualified gunsmith. It could just need a good clean, but I wouldn't have a clue how to do that or which bits to clean.

Check the pressure reducer, it's a common problem with Walther. Have it replaced and problem should be solved.

I sent it to Champion's Choice. They replaced the "Transformator." What ever that is, it cost $225. They tuned it all up and test fired it. Sent me a target with a .190 hole in it from 5 shots at 10M. The gentleman that I bought the gun from paid for the repairs. All it cost me was the shipping.

As BerryK said, this is a common problem with the Walther 300 regulators, pistol or rifle, and yes we do service Walthers.

Can we order Walther parts from you?

Wish I'd known that Pilkguns did Walther. Is regulator the common term for "Transformator?"

ed, in general we don't like to sell retail parts, but will on certain occasions. Is that an exact enought answer? LOL

Gene, yes
