The pump/cocking lever on my LPM-1 broke off at the lower point of the arm, that is between the two screws that hold on the bottom piece of wood on at the end of the pump/cocking arm. Has anyone else had this happen? Also, who would I contact regarding finding another pump arm. A very simple replacement, just may be a pain to find one?
Thanks.

Walther replacement parts
First try Champions Choice - USA distribution and service center for Walther.
If no luck. write/email/call Sven Martini at Walther's Sport Service Center in Ulm.
Good luck.

Mark,
I, too, have a LPM-1 and the cocking effort was getting harder and harder until I greased the rollers and pivot points. I would have suffered the same fate had I not done that.
If you should decide to TIG weld the broken lever back together per "TopEnd", I can get you in touch with my son-in-law who lives in Hastings. He is certified in more disciplines than I care to remember. You might want to show up and buy his 3 rug-rats some ice cream for the job though.
Whether you TIG weld it or replace it, if your existing lever broke on the compression (closing) stroke, a simple reinforcing bar that extends from the screw holes to the "curl" of the cocking lever will help to transfer the 'breaking moment' away from the scantily-materialed screw hole area to where the lever is "fully-metalled"; but adds weight to the AP.
HTH, Paul.
