    Walther Lgu ball catch to cocking lever

    Hi does any one know any one who can rework the ball catch to make
    it a better latch mechanism similar to a weihrauch latch ?
    at times the existing ball detent has come loose
    my thoughts were a piston thing and spring in the cocking lever
    retained by a thumb slider or maybe some one has a better idea

    thx in advance any one

    I've never studied the Walther catch at close quarters. Some in the past have enjoyed success with magnets. Is there scope for this to work on the Walther?

    Mostly the problems with the underlever is loose rivets introducing slip in the lever.
    Also if the action is slamming due to poor sealing , it will make the lever drop.
    Magnets can be effective but it's a lot of work.
