Walther LP2 Rear Sight

[jgb133]

Everyone,
I recently inherited a very nice Walther LP2. Shoots great! JG Airguns rebuilt it and replaced all the seals. I thought about doing something more formal with this gun, like target shooting. So I got my 10m targets and tried to zero it in. Left/Right was adjusted, but I couldn't adjust up/down. I took the sight apart and noticed some badly deteriorated rubber foam. I scrapped this off and noticed a drilled hole above and below. My guess is there was a spring in this hole and someone many years ago lost it. They then substituted this foam stuff. So I have two questions, Is my theory of a spring correct? Does anyone have an idea where I can buy one? I can always have one made, but I would need to know the spring dimensions to do so. Any assistance would be appreciated. Currently a toothpick is my new high tech spring.
Regards,
Jim Beier

Hi jgb133. Put your query on to the Target/competition thread, it's more likely to be seen by a Walther LP2 owner.
