Need to get an order underway to the Germans, and am wondering if anyone needs any (any) of their barrels or other products (powderburner stuff too).
I can also order airgun barrels (.177 and .22) in 12mm diameter (slightly larger than a typical Crosman 13xx/22xx barrel) choked or not choked if anyone needs one for a Crosman project of some sort.
If you need/want anything- let me know in this topic...
The .25 cal is also available choked or unchoked in 12mm OD.... It will make a great Crosman conversion.... Thought I'd mention it....
Bob
Well, I guess seeing as I have (or will have) a .25 and a .177, may as well put me down for a .22 cal, choked, 12mm OD - machined for a Crosman breech.
Todd
As discussed I require (3) 9mm blanks.

Somebodies Captain, son of captain and brother in law of captain decided they wanted matching artillery :icon_rolleyes:
I'm hoping the Germans pack the container on a really really sloooooow boat.
Hide them in the basement and blame customs :awink: :glee:Quote:

At this point that's the obvious choice. However with new
Pressure tube
barrel
breech
bolt
hammer
spring
stock
Not too much left thats QB:awink:
Trigger
cocking block...maybe?
valve end...maybe?
At that point, why not just get a Marauder trigger group and make everything else?....
Bob
That's really what it boils down to Bob
I really like the QB/AR trigger group but I have never played with an Mrod group. It's tough to make a decision based on pictures and diagrams.
Any insight?
Nicest trigger I've ever used, period.... Remove the "Lawyer Spring" and you can take it down to ounces if you want.... Complete adjustability....
Bob
HI Eric....
I'll take a .22 cal choked, full length (23.8") in 12mm OD....
Bob
Any word on when a second order may occur?.... I'm thinking about getting a .25 cal with a 12mm OD to go along with the .22 cal below.... 23.8" choked, of course....
Bob
The Germans are funny- they won't give a price until they get an exact order - which makes it difficult to figure out a price for people.
How about anyone who wants a barrel- anything LW can construct- post it up here with the specs they want (caliber, outer diameter)- all will be done "choked" and all are 23.8".
This can be regular powderburner barrels as well- makes no difference to me what they get used on/in.
I'd like http://www.lothar-walther.com/493.php
7,62mm (.30") airgun, no choke, IN STOCK
.670
28.0
If I need a riser breech I'll make it to account for the 0.080 difference from the 15mm stock barrel
Thanks,
Bruce
BTT.... Any idea what's going on here?....
Bob
At this point, only a couple people have indicated they would like barrels- in order to ship things from LW, a minimum of 20 barrels is required. I'm still sitting on LW barrels from a year ago (most made into QB/AR units, and a 25 cal blank). I need more people or at least a better idea of what the 'firearm' crowd might be able to use in future to make this worthwhile, or it will be akin to throwing a couple grand in the toilet.
Anyone have an ideas what the most common barrels people in other parts of the shooting sports typically are looking for?
As I understand it replacement barrel popularity is
Ruger 10/22
AR15
Rem 700
All replacements lean towards heavier, more accurate.
Fluting is popular
In addition to the 9mm/357's previously mentioned I would take a couple of additional calibers.
I'm going to pull our on this. Loks like it is going to be some time. I understand.. please do contact me when it is time to order and I still may order something.Quote:

LW in Germany is slow to negotiate and produce pricing- but we're a week or so away from finalizing things it seems. So- now is the time to specify (beyond the people who have already confirmed what they want) what anyone who has not been a part of this discussion would like.
PM me a price for barrel and bolt and I will give you a yes or no. thanks
You might want to be a bit more specific.
Think he's looking for a 9mm "drop in" kit....machined and finished with a bolt to match.
Will look at my stash of mad money...might want a 16mm blank in .22cal. Will let you know by Monday.
Thanks,
Al
Yes Thats it.Quote:

Please put me down for one 24" x 16mm od blank in .22cal.
Thanks

Okely Dokely.
Thanks Neddy. :biggrin-new:
Okay, we're getting closer to getting this done- seems LW staff (i.e. family) are running about the countryside regularly and the people left in the office have not got the ability to do much beyond quote "list" on things. I believe we finally have this straightened out, so hopefully it will only be a matter of time before barrels start shipping...
Well, I have to say, no matter how this turns out, I am done dealing with Lothar-Walther in Germany.
Months. Months! To get them to -sorta- get their act together, they were sent payment weeks ago, acknowledged they received it, and have been unable to provide any sort of tracking information, claiming they sent 20 barrels via "airmail". I don't know too many postal services that take 50kg packages nor have I ever encountered anyone mentally deficient enough to send something like that via mail (at a cost that seems higher than a courier service for such a package). These guys are absolutely, unbelievably useless. Anyone who ever says "German efficiency" to me is going to get a kick in the shorts- rarely have I encountered such a lackadaisical attitude, almost a total lack of action, and then failure to even ship products properly and be trackable. Who knows if or when something might show up- assuming of course they actually shipped anything.
If anyone knows of any good barrel manufacturers out there (not LW)- please let me know.
You might want to give Green Mountain a try. They'll tackle the weird, up to a certain point... Dunno if they mandrel/button for a/g bores- couldn't hurt to ask...

I'll give anyone a try at this point- LW in Germany is hopeless. Makes me wonder if the 'distributor' in the US is actually getting all their barrels from them or somewhere else. I find it hard to believe that I have needed to deal with 4 different people on a small order and the amount of back-forth, the lack of understanding that they can't charge more to a dealer in Canada than their US distributor is charging to consumers and so on- everything, and I mean everything, has been an issue with these guys.
Well, the barrels finally came in- months after starting the process of trying to set-up an order and weeks after LW was paid for them. I am almost shocked they actually showed up (I won't be attempting to deal with LW in Germany again after this experience).
So, for anyone who wanted a barrel/barrels (the specific units people ordered came in- i.e. 16mm .22 cal choked and .22 and .177 choked)- shoot me an email through the webstore.
