LG400 Bolt Handle-Left

Post by kbean »

Anyone switched sides with their LG400 handle to the left side?
Looks like I need to remove from the stock and drive out some roll pins? Any advice or experience?
Thanks!

You do not need to take the barreled action out of the stock and there are no pins to drive out.
The parts diagram shows how it is assembled relatively clearly.

Like said above you do not need to remove the action from the stock. It takes maybe a minute to do. Real easy.

This is what mine looks like. I see diagrams where there is a screw in the sides/ends of the sleeve and cap. Mine does not have this.

Any other thoughts? I'm trying not to cause damage by doing something stupid.

Thanks

Your lever fitting is different to the ones I can see in the parts diagram which look like the one in the picture

Exactly!
The one you posted is straight forward.
I’m looking for help with one like I posted lol

The only LG400 I’ve handled is the one I have, so I didn’t realize there was something else until these posts.

In that case, unless you are thinking of having it serviced so it can be switched then, your best option is probably to email the service folks at Walther and ask them.

Contact Walther as above

I can't find a diagram that resembles your rifle. The diagrams I can find for the type I posted above indicate/suggest there are just 3 screws that facilitate the change over (2 to hold on the two outer caps and 1 to reverse the actual lever on the lever cap or whatever it's called).

Does the lever on yours have a screw that holds it onto the cap so it could be reversed when the caps are changed over? If so you could assume (and remember that assumption is the mother of all screw ups) that it's just a matter of lifting up the lever, pushing (not tapping) the rawl pins out and changing over. That is just my guess to see if it is possible without buying new parts not any form of trying to say it's how to do it, for that contact the good folks at Walther

Yes, the lever itself is able to be moved to the side of the cap.

Right now it can be swapped so it can swing up or swing down to open the bolt.
