Walther Terrus

[peddy]

Picked up my beech stocked terrus yesterday for my son to use. I chose it over the 99 as it has a slimmer fore end and shorter length of pull. Stripped down last night to find a badly chopped spring that's already gouged the metal piston weight. The piston is very poorly finished as well. Cheap spring guide that you can't swop. Sharp edges everywhere in the cylinder. After several hours I'm sure it will be ok, which is what I expect from cheaper guns.The rfd gave me a cracking deal as he said he struggled to sell it as it looks Chinese with a high price tag
Come on walther book up and improve your QC. No better than my smk's

Sorry to hear that you got a bad one .
I suppose it's bound to happen with cheaper rifles.
As you say , probably down to poor QC.
I hope that you enjoy it when you've fettled it .
Which RFD do you use ?

Have a look at this review.

Yes and it's the third walther I've had to sort bodged up springs on and the damage they cause. Though once they are they are cracking guns/value. The terrus is the worst internally compared to a LGU and century, very Chinese looking. The only rfd I use now is Carl at Boyces Nelson.

Just got mine in.177 early days but got a groups ( repeatable ) at twenty meters which you could cover with a ten pence piece isnt too shabby for a springer , as for bad finish as mentioned above my HW99 i bought new came far too hot power wise , galled the cylinder and dieseled badly . Id say the walther nice gun as nice as the HW99

Spent last night filing and polishing internals. There was some strange manufacturing ridges on the piston. Fitted a ptfe piston liner, but only 3/4 length of piston so not to interfere with sear engagement. Extra polished washer in between piston and TH/weight. Only 3/4 inch of preload. Had a few shots in the garden and I'm very impressed. Very smooth twang less cycle, easy to cock, virtually no recoil. Trigger very crisp. So it looks like a happy ending. The external finish is excellent and wish it matched the internals. My son won't give a monkeys he will just shoot it!

Glad that you are happy with it.
Mine is currently back with the RFD as the power crept up far too much.
I think I'm going to have to take the plunge and think about tackling a bit of home fettling myself in future.
