Walther LG300 Problem
Posted: Thu Jul 30, 2009 11:47 am
I just bought this from an ad in the classified section. I filled the cylinder to 300 bar and took it outside to sight it in. I got off a couple of shots then nothing. The sound when pulling the trigger is louder than when on the practice mode, but no air is metered.
I emailed the person I bought it from and he said he had it happen to him once. He said he bled the air out of the cylinder, refilled it and all was well. I bled the cylinder down to about 220 bar and reinstalled it. The gun fired normally and I thought all was well. (except the AD from the pellet that was left in the chamber which I fired into the carpet in my office)
I took the gun out today to try sighting it in again. Same problem. I got one shot off, a second that hit 4-5 inches low, then nothing. I bled the cylinder to zero and refilled it to 200 bar. I got one shot that sounded normal, one at reduced noise, and one slight puff and click.
I have an LP300 pistol and have not had any trouble with it. Is this something I'm doing? Do I need it rebuilt? This is the most money I've ever spent on a gun and I'm not a real happy camper. If I have to have it worked on professionally, does Scott work on Walther? Or do I have to send it elsewhere?
