Got this rifle. It is in good condition mechanically, but the age show it’s face. Started the recovery yesterday, and so far it is looking good.
Other Walther LG90 - some rescue needed?
- Thread starter Gunnertrones
- Start date
I have used Citristrip a few times to remove paint and varnish. It works pretty well without harming the wood.

Because of the notches (and no hope to rise them with a water treatment), I had to sand the stock down heavily. I also want to smooth the edges, and curve the rear/under section a bit. Not much, but enough to give the rifle a more slick appearance.

Nah, this walnut is NOT cooperating!
I have oiled and polished the metal parts, and they are looking good, but the stock doesn’t live up to my expectations. The grip/stipplings was easy to fix, but the grains in the walnut…….. not so good, and I don’t want to sand it further down. Normally the wood will get darker when applying rest of the layers, so I hope it will get better.

Went for the Bull, 2 shots 53 meter. Very pleased with this rifle, and it is looking brand new now. Switched the Hawke prism with a 4x Sun Optics. Better for short distances.
Conclusion: A good buy, even if the wood wasn’t the best
