How much preload have you got as standard?,and what sort of power level are you aiming for?.
I had the opportunity to buy one a few years ago,I regret not getting it
Now.

As mentioned in another thread, my new second hand .177 Walther LGV, turned out to be a Century....
All airguns are delivered pushed to the max over here, as we dont have power restrictions, and power sells, so to sell a gun here it needs to be the full power version.
The gun shoots quite good groups, but having shot the LGV some years back, I'm quite sure it is possible to get a more pleasant and better shooting gun out of this beast.
The first step I'll try is to remove the massive piston weight and turn up a shorter tophat and a tighter and longer rear guide to remove some vibrations and possibly reduce recoil.
Too many airguns!

A friend of mine short stroked his .22 Century with an HW80 short stroke kit and had it shooting sweetly at around 11 ft lbs. I'm considering doing the same thing to mine in due course as it's a bit of a thumper with standard, (UK) internals.
Just convert it to an LGV with the reduced diameter tube and the smaller piston, job done
Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.
As we said on the other thread, sleeving it to 25mm and using the LGV piston would provide the sweetest shooting solution, at the cost of a much more involved procedure. However, simply junking that piston weight and employing a softer spring mated to better fitting and suitable guides would, I guess, result in a very sweet shooting rifle. Especially if you could then be convinced to also short stroking a little.....
