    That's a very rare beast you have Robin. Hopefully it will sell here but if not and you can find a way to get it to the United States, there's an eager market there. Sadly it's a bugger to get anything gun-like over the pond post-9/11. You either have to take it over yourself or send it by sea mail, with all the risk of rough handling that entails.

    Walther running Boar

    Thanks Garvin
    If it goes it goes, but I'm really quite loathe to sell it, it just seems a shame for it to sit in a case un used. I bought it in the 80's and shot running Boar with and I'd be quite happy to keep it if no one steps up.
    Best regards

    I don't blame you for being in two minds about selling. If you, or a purchaser, want to give it a full service jgairguns in the US has the exhaust, breach and even piston seals and does reliable overseas mail order. There may be a UK supplier of these parts but I don't know of one.

    Walther Running Boar

    Garvin
    Bill Welch from Churchleys has all seals available. I got a set from stock this year for mine and this one is perfect. I also rebuilt my wifes LGR match with new seals, buffer, and valve all available from Bill (contact Mogwap@dsl.pipex.com ) I also think that Walther in Ulm has all spares in stock but the problem in England is there is no official agent but by dealing with German gunshops you can get any thing easily.
    Best regards
