    Walther LG90 Air Rifle

    My local Gun Shop had one of these in really nice condition which I fell in love with at first sight. After a few weeks of thought (and lots of discussion with the owner), a conclusion was reached and last Saturday I went home with the LG90 in attendance. However, i'm not convinced that the rearsight is the correct one, can anyone here identify the one fitted to the rifle and if wrong, possibly sugggest where I could obtain one of the correct pattern (links to piccies below).

    Thanks, Vic Thompson.
    No that is not the Walther LG90 rear sight, it's almost certainly a Gamo or Gamo clone, probably Chinese!

    Hello Vic,

    The Diopter on the Walther is that from GAMO, and currently retails at £67.95! The proper Walther item I would guess is probably three times that, being one of the most expensive and important components on such a rifle.

    Personally I would return the rifle, as without the right aperture sight the value is seriously diminished?

    Vic here's pics of a couple of original Walther diopter sights for comparison:

    Pic 1
    Pic 2
    Pic 3
    Pic 4

    P.S. pics 2 and 3 are of the sight that should probably be on an LG90.

    Walther LG90

    I agree with Garvin, I have a Walther LG90 which I have owned since new, and the dioptre sight is the same as pics 2 & 3 above.
