Predom pistol - Overhaul 1 - breech washer

[Gnr527]

Old member new pistol - I like this pistol a lot but it needs an overhaul with hopeful improvements to speed and accuracy.

Ive given it a strip, clean oil/grease and reassemble.

Speed similar at 275 to 300fps - not good enough.

I would like to renew the breech washer first - problem - where can I get a suitable one.

Size Circa 12/13mm OD 6/7mm ID thickness ??? (dont want to destroy the existing). Also what is the material?

All help gratefully accepted.

I think they are leather...if it was me I'd be looking at maybe making one from polyurethane or an o-ring if shims could be used to make one fit.

Mine is leather and could use replacement as well. Let us know how yours does if you replace it and what you use, I am assuming o rings and shims

Thanks for that

- I should have read the VAGG thread a bit more carefully.

I will be working on the pistol and post how I get on.

May I ask where you bought your Predom pistol, as I sold one last week to a gunshop not far from you, wondered if it was the same gun? That one had a leather breech washer and seemed in very good condition. Protek supplies do a tuneup kit for the Walther LP53, as the Predom is a very close copy of the Walther, the kit may well fit the Predom.
