Walther LG55 spring and seal recommendations needed

[spevie]

A rear sight from an LP53 fit the breech block holes on the LG55 if you think those holes are ugly.
I sent those parts off...there is an undersized (I'm not a machinist!) JG/Knibbs seal in the package, and also one of the "O" ring seals that Hector mentions, placed by Motörhead, probably usable, but ask Scott how to place it?
If the piston stud is mushroomed the threads cannot be chased, so use Hector's technique to replace it.
Sometimes the stud nut is cracked: worthless
I didn't know the leather seals were available, I'd use them nowadays...but the Vortex seal works well too.
I think the red/orange seal is too expensive for the application.
Although their very old I think the Walthers were made to a higher standard than the FWB/Anschutz/Weihrauch?
Of course, nothing beats a Diana...

Thank you very much Stephen!

I'll be doing the job with a friend of mine who has a YouTube channel.  He's free to film the job if he wants to use it for the channel, so you may see how things go "in person"...

Great looking rifle! I'm sure you will love the way it shoots.

Happy for you!

Well, if that happens it will be a while.

I don't know when we'll get to do the job, if it will become an episode, or when it would get edited and posted.

But if that all works out, I'll be glad to post it!
