Am I the only one to think that the walther lgv internals look awfully like those of a pro sport or tx200?
So much so that I was wondering if a bit of a deal was done.
All the hype about revolutionary design on the LGV and it looks as though they reinvented the wheel.
I have to say that my LGV shoots as well as my PS and apart from a few washers to up the power from 9.5 f/lbs, it is factory spec.

It would be good to know if anyone can shed any light on why they are so similar.

similar, yes, there is only so much you can do with a design. a piston in a compression chamber powered by a spring. marketing says revolutionary, reality says it's a piston/spring affair.

They don't just look the same Neil the Walther LGV/LGU piston drops straight into the TX and Prosport.

My .22" TX is currently running an LGV piston, Weihrauch HW77 piston seal, HW77 breech seal and a Mach1 trigger blade.

If you attend the AAOC meet at my place you'll be welcome to have a play with it.
