Walther LP53 Piston Removal.

[Garvin]

Many thanks for your help I have now removed the piston and starting to remember stripping the gun before.Homer I was unable to find an anti beartrap lever in the position you mentioned,but the trigger when the barrel is open for breaking is locked in a position such that it cannot engage the sear bar a beartrap device of a sort.Regards mrto

Actually, Len has now answered your question in more detail over on the AVA.

The pin is under the grip where the cocking arm goes into the frame, They are not normally tight and push out either way, There is a knack to getting it back in with the spring pressure, I made up a tapered rod to locate and then push the pin back from the opposing side.
