Title: Taking Apart A Walter CP88
Post by: USAFANG6799 on June 14, 2020, 05:33:00 PM
Anyone ever take apart a Walter CP88 (CO2 pistol) beyond the point of no return?
Walter must have hired some watchmakers to design this one because the intricacy of the design is out of the park!
Well, I have and it looks like I'll be sending it back to them to shamefully admit I could not put it back together  ;D :'(

Did you take pictures as you went?

Yes I did. It's not a matter a remembering where they go but it really is akin to putting a watch back together after you have taken it apart.
It's the best way I can describe it.
I watched a few YouTube videos on it but no luck.
If you watch at 31:30 until the end you'll understand what I mean.

I found this video this evening and will give it a try tomorrow and hope for better results.
This one makes it look much easier. But we'll see.

Sorry. I wasn't trying to imply anything untoward. I'm wanting to take my CP99 apart and was hoping your photos might help. The trigger on it is horribly heavy. I will check it against the videos, though.
Hope you get the 88 back together.

Not a problem Terry. I didn't take it with your implying anything.
I don't know how similar the CP99 and the CP88 or if the videos will help. Sounds like they both have the same heavy trigger issue.
If it's anything like my CP88 there isn't much about making the triggers lighter. At least from what I found so far.
I'm sure YouTube must have something that will help you.
I've already contact Walter if they'll reassemble and what it will cost.

Many thanks for the reply.

Most of the videos that I've seen were just reviews. I did find one that showed how to remove the front portion of the slide. I'm thinking I might need an arbor press to get the rest of it apart. A really good EVP would help alot.

I think the CP88 is one I'm not going to dive into unless I have a problem.  Thx for posting.

I had a moment of being over-enthusiastic (temporary insanity) when I took mine apart ;D
