    But don't you think that can be one way to find out the truth, because if you knock a gun for fun it soon gets found out if its wrong and in the process the best bits of the gun in question are seen

    BTW not much mention about the trigger problems especially when comparing it with a 80.

    If you can shoot well with an FWB Sport trigger then a Walther trigger will be fine. Rekord triggers are excellent but enough practice with lesser mechanisms will still give outstanding accuracy.

    Yes, but, Diana 34. It should be a bit rubbish at 12, but it isn't, at least in .22". Law of diminishing returns. Dodgy TP meets OK everything else.

    I did say problems


    Anyway I have never owned a century but I would say that it looks better than lgv but I would like to see some closeups pics of the internals (they are bit rare) in this pic the piston it does look a bit thinner metal and could perhaps break as been suggested, but its not much of a pic, also does the century have those cheap looking plastic bits holding the linkage in place?

    At least it has plastic to run on Theobens have just the wood of the stock ??
    and Diana pistons look like old baked bean tins compared with the walther

The person who stripped commented on the poor design an explained why. However, as hell will freeze over before I buy a springer, I passed the info on to the owner and filed the information in the Business Information Network. It is info I will never use again.

    If others think its a great rifle then that's fine with me. I beg to differ.
    What might have happened is if the gun was cocked and the barrel was returned to the barrel lock position but not engaged
    and the gun had the trigger pulled the piston would have hit the cocking shoe very hard that is held in place by the plastic things and if the piston metal is thin it could have been ripped by the flimsy cocking shoe, I would have liked to have seen some pics

    It's a great way to knacker a piston when it starts galling up.
