On, Canada
I know it’s not going to happen especially when the whole globe is messed up.
Easy for me I’ve only been in this game 3 yrs. Shortly after I got into Airgun’s, Walther discontinued the LGU-LGV’s. I believe I bought the last LGU Varmint.22 in Canada. I had paid for a LGU wood stock from another dealer but was refunded my money and ridiculed, but that’s another story.
I would love to see these guns return. Mine is an absolute pleasure to shoot. Have a Rowan trigger for it, waiting. 5F80F634-9FA6-42F6-88E3-0FD4F5914D30.jpeg845D10FD-1D6A-42FF-A016-445D17D8D8B5.jpeg This gun is factory, but so smooth. Feels comfortable. Tried Crosman’s in today, no go. The JSB’s were center ice. I don’t know why, but the bear trap on this gun is not as annoying as on the TX200’s. I can’t complain about the accuracy, it’s lethal. This baby was the second gun to be in my “squirrel gun hall of fame”.
I even e-mailed Walter gave them an order for both models in all cal.
What gun would you like to return?

Theoben Fenman. It's a short barreled 12 ft/lb marvel!

I actually had a Pro Elite 20 years ago or round about. I didn't realize until later how few of them were made.

A friend of mine has one. Exceptionally nice break barrel. The checkering on the stock and the blueing on the metal are perfect. Heirloom quality. Wish they would make them again!

Maybe if they do bring them back, they won't have tapered tubes and piston seals that fall off again.

Air Arms Pro Elite. The world needs more break barrels!

Although coveted the Pro Elite was not without issues which seems to have sealed their fate. Numerous specimens were reported to have tapered compression tubes and seals were often very poorly secured to the piston head. With either or both of these issues seals fell off resulting in violent piston slams into the front of the compression tube. A faulty seal attachment issue just happened to me this past Sunday! I own 2 (.177 walnut (1 of about 20 made) and a .22 beech). I would not part with them personally but some have resorted to modifying the piston head to use an R1/HW80 piston seal. Paul Watts at one point refused to service any PE's.
