Walther LG55 question.

[I. J.]

Does anyone know if the main piston seal from a Walther LG55 fit a Walther LGV Match?

I.J.,

It depends on whether your LG55 is a late or early model.

The late model has the same piston seal arrangement as the LGV - a spiggot that slots into a keyhole in the piston face.

The early LG55s had a central screw in the washer assembly - like the 1970s Dianas (Originals).

Have fun & a good weekend

Thank you both gents.

It is the later key hole type (similar to the BSA Meteor) and I have ordered a synthetic replacement for the original leather washer one. I recently bought the gun and its fitted with a poorly modified HW (?) type seal, so ....

Many thanks.

I will do. Ive ordered the part from Chambers so expect it any day. When I get the chance I will strip the LGV Match (again ) and take some photos.
