Recently inherited WALTHER LG-55 DST .... what a little gem !

[Motorhead]

Not sure at this juncture what I'm going to do with it ? ... really no desire to have it stay a safe queen stuck in the back corner for another lifetime. But for now it will get protected.

Any Who ... it dates too @ 1963 and all original. Finish on action, stock unmolested. original Walther sites too !!

Just sharing a very nice match rifle from a bygone era .... This is NOT a F/S thread and not asking value etc .... Just a share of a little piece of AG history.

They are sweet shooters for sure. I had one years ago that had a huge crack in the stock, bought it that way, but it still held off the unwanted bird feeder vermin. Duct tape and all.

 

[1BadDart]

Very nice!

 

[BryanH]

Wow. I bet your inbox is full, lol.

 

[Peashooter]

Sweet.

What is the 2 triggers for?

 

[MikeAndrews]

What a gem! Also would like to know about the two triggers.

 

[Motorhead]

Double set triggers .... Used in older powder guns as well match guns from years past.

*one blade is primary and it will discharge gun with modest pull effort ... BUT WHEN the other blade is pulled first the primary blade is set to be literally a hair trigger and any motion & very light on primary blade fires the gun.



Just google "Double Set Triggers"

 

[DualMagMike]

Known as double set triggers and as seen in Quigley Down Under. One trigger "sets" the actual trigger to a "hair trigger" mere ounces will set it off. 

 

[Flintsack]

I would suggest you shoot it.

SWEET GUN , i would shoot it .

I consider vintage Walthers to be the epitome of Old World German quality and aesthetics, and the Mod 55s among the epitome of vintage airgun exotica. I've owned a couple single-trigger 55s including a mint Tyrolean, but the (very rare in the U.S.) DST versions are off the chart!

Congratulations on that incredible time capsule, Scott. It couldn't have gone to a more deserving heir, Buddy! ENJOY!

Wow! I never see a LH Tyrolean of any brand! What a fortunate find.

If only they made rifles like this today. The simple classic lines of the stock ...when will they learn to start getting it right again?.... akin to a Rimfire rook rifle.....not an ugly scallop out section to be seen, and so much better for it...
Bull barrel puts the weight right where you want it...

DROOLING !
