    Like I've said Tone, the poor old Walther hasn't had the attention it deserves, I've not had loads of time or the inside space to work on it, so have been reliant on the weather, also I think because to make it into a LGV requires a 25mm cylinder sleeve fitting (it will hopefully be 24mm when I finally get it to Nick) as I can't do that sort of work, I'm relying on Nick to do it, had Iit of been a simple case of dropping in a kit and also not needing a reblue, then I would have spent more time on it, I found out my polishing gear yesterday but ibig grey cloud has just rolled over and I think that may put the kibosh on the polishing today
    Far too many rifles to list now, all mainly British but the odd pesky foreigner has snuck in

    Hi Tony
    I wasn’t planning on getting anymore guns anytime soon (yeah right) but a recently refurbished Tracker came my way.from a fellow member of my new Hft club (MAD),I’ve been after one for ages .
    I will be putting a 4x40 gloss Tasco on it when I have some suitable mounts.

    It’s dieseling a little at the moment, I will put a few more pellets through it and see how she goes.
    I will bring it with me for the Bash 👍.
