Nope! Usually I am frothing at the mouth and ready to bite the mailman arm off to get my new rifle! funny I just bought a beat up 55 myself a few days ago,, hasn't been delivered yet, but I am always happy to welcome any walther into my collection....they are in my opinion some of the finest made air rifles ever! I have a 51zd, a 52zd, now a 55, and a old model lgv spezial. I'm not going to count my new walthers (parrus,terrus,lgv challenger, and lgu) as they aren't vintage, but they are also fantastic rifles! My personal favorite being my 52zd....it's just a sweetheart of a rifle.

Williams or Picatinny rail.

Looks like a Weaver scope base.

Beautiful gun!

Thanks. Crow

That is an awesome find, a true unicorn. I vote for removing the picatinny rail, hopefully the dovetails are unscathed. How does she shoot?

Thanks. I will remove the rail. . Shot last nite.
I missed the boat by not participating in this sport decades ago.
This gun shoots incredibly so smooth. Jacking is like a HW30 but clean. Fantastic breakbarrel. No flaws. Crow

That’s a beautiful rifle right there. I’m a little jealous.

Thanks.

Ya, I wouldn’t refuse any Walther if the problem arose. I have a few and all are leaders. Not familiar with a 52, but will keep my eyes pealed. Crow

Very similar to the 51 but with more of a transition from a sporter style stock like the 51 has to a "match" style stock....just not as chunky as the 55 is. It's a great shooting rifle! And I find it very comfortable to shoulder.

I love to even look at these guns. But the sights!?! I enjoy, especially, the fine fit of metal to metal or wood. These sights are particularly spectacular. I even enjoy the old Redfield Olympic sights I own. I haven't had them on my LR target gun for years. They just ooze precision. Sorry guys, where am I? I was dreaming of rifle sights I can't even afford. Must have been a day dream ... Be Well Brothers, Bandito

I think these are the correct sights. Just scored them last night. Should arrive next week.

I’m hoping. Crow

This will be my second 124, got the first one probably 49 years ago, still going strong.

Yes the C&R license is great, It's a Federal license and costs $30 for 3 years, so I can do a lot of shopping for firearms on the internet and and have them shipped directly to me. I can buy and sell, but have only bought, not planning on going through the paperwork for sales, one or two would not be much. You are able to sell to"enhance" a collection. One other thing is that you have to keep a bound book of purchases and sales. I got one from Brownellss and make all the entries and keep the receipts and C&R license copy of the seller in the book
When making a purchase you have to send the seller a fresh signed copy of the license. From my limited experience, I think the dealers, really larger gun shops I have bought treat C&R holders a bit better. The last two said send personal checks, which I did and they shipped the guns out the day they received the checks without holding to see if they cleared.
