**SOLD**7/8**Cased Post 1974 German Walther LGR Match .177 Calibre Side Lever Target Match Air Rifle With Adjustable Match / Moving Target Shoulder Stock & Accessories. Sn 22779 - 22779 The German manufacturer Walther LGR introduced the side lever target air rifle in 1974 (see page 103 of the Air Gun Book By Walter). In the early 70s while FWB, Diana, and Anschutz were manufacturing and designing recoilless 10M springers Walther went in a different direction. Even while refining their LGV into the LGV Special series, they shocked the competition by introducing an entirely new concept in 1974, the single stroke pneumatic LGR model. Immediately after its introduction, the LGR broke both the individual and team 10-metre world records. It has an attractive wood stock with curved rubber butt pad & Adjustable Match / Moving Target Shoulder Stock. The uniquely contoured stock has grain stippled pistol grip and underside stock grip section. It has the correct Micrometer Diopter rear target sight and shrouded foresight. It has a fine adjustment match trigger and the underside of the stock has a steel rail. The barrel block is stamped with 'Walther banner’, ‘LGR Cal 4.5’, ‘Made In Germany’ together with number ‘117693’. The metal work retains its original blue finish. The optics of the sight are excellent. The rifle's cocking and firing actions work crisply. The rifle comes with its associated black composite transit case with hinged lid and foam lining. Also included are its original adjustment tool, illustrated manual, small bi-pod with screw attachment mounting lug & spare sight elements. The price for this quality target air rifle includes UK delivery. NB As a post 1939 Air Rifle the restrictions of the Crime Reduction Act apply to the sale and delivery of this item. Sn 22779
