Just bought one of these on BBS. Had a few teething troubles due to one of the teeth on the revolving magazine being damaged. 1 x new magazine later and it was sorted. Have subsequently discovered this is a common issue with this model, caused by overvigorous action with the underlever. Just go gentle with it, and its fine. Very impressed with the build quality on the rifle. It it of typically high germanic engineering standards, and clearly a lot of thought has gone into the design. Of remarkably short stature, the rifle is beautifully balanced, and shoots very well. My wife, who has a fairly small frame finds it perfect. It goes without saying that its great fun firing off shots in rapid style. I had a rapid 7 previously, and a my main use of my airguns is shooting up tin cans in my garden that was rather overkill. I anticipate having a lot of fun with the walther, ok its not full power, but it makes no odds to me in my garden. Key thing for me is the accuracy, which is superb. I had contemplated buying the crosman 1077, glad I didnt now, suspect the build qualitys better on the walther, and as for that winchester 1894 styilng, well I love it! Only wish airguns like this had been around 20 years ago when I was in my early teens. Same goes for BBS forum, only discovered it the other day, its great. The mercury s in the pics is also mine, just put it in for size comparison purposes - cheers paul
