ive just made my first youtube video .
i could not find any strip down videos of my lgu walther or the lgv so i made my own.
the set up is very much like a tx200 with a tuning kit in it , have a look .
the sound is running a bit fast on the video ( do not know why ) but it is my first ever video so be kind.

just to say that dieseling for people who do not know what it means , is when grease or oil gets in front of the piston seal in the compression chamber and explodes making your rifle smoke and smells of burnt oil.

this also puts the power of your rifle up and over the legal 12fpe ,

my walther was putting out 10.50 fpe when new two weeks a go, then all of a sudden the other day it was doing 12.70fpe

so i striped it ( hence the video ) cleaned out lots of grease from the compression chamber and off the piston seal,
now its down to 10.98 which is about right given 300 pellets have been through it in the last two weeks .
just goes to show that dieseling can put your rifle up by 2.20 fpe ,

i test all my rifles with my skan chrony real good bit of kit,

good vid, well done

Thats a good vid for your first attemp mate,one thing that did strike my though was i thought the LGU was a underlever version of the LGV with all wizardry of piston control via transfer ports to reduce recoil,looks like a tuned rifle though

Good vid

the lgv is the same as the lgu , so there is nothing special going on in there,

with all the hype, i think that why every one was a bit worried about stripping one, even me,
i could not find any videos of the lgu or lgv being striped thats why i made my video to show its easy to strip,
