Walther LG55 vs LGV difference

[I. J.]

Ive always wondered why no other manufacturer can get near the sublime smoothness of the old LGV's. They feel like they have been tbrough the finest tuning house in existance.

Totally agree. Over the years Ive shot a very mixed variety of spring rifles from various tuners and the standard untuned LG stands out as one of the smoothest.

I already feel my tuned LG55 is very smooth. Very curious about the LGV now.
I looked at the pics; it indeed looks like the LGV has thicker barrelshroud.

In addition to the barrel latch the LGV has a hardened steel pin that passes through the breech block to prevent wear and subsequent lateral slop.

Both LG55 & LGV could be purchased with medium or heavy barrel shrouds, they're removeable/interchangeable.

Different stock weights account for further differences in weight/balance. At least two sizes were produced, some in lead others in cast iron.

Had a look inside today. They're the same. Well almost

As far as I know the Century is still in the line up but with the synthetic stocked GT & Thumbhole Varmint.
