Walther Force 1000 at Big 5
« on: August 18, 2008, 06:04:07 AM »
If any of you have a Big 5 sporting goods store local to you, and are looking for an AR1000 breakbarrel, Big 5 has the Walther Force 1000 in .177 on sale this week for $130, which is $100 off the regular price according to the ad. The ad doesn't have a picture and doesn't state whether it's rifle-only or a rifle/scope combo. I intend to go to our local store on Thursday to find out.

Well, it is a rifle and scope combo. The scope is the ubiquitous Chinese 4X32 non-AO that seems to come with all low-priced rifles, and is marked "Walther". The gun is a dead ringer for my TF89 (no surprise there!) except it has no checkering on the stock, a black trigger instead of a plated one, and is .177 caliber, while my TF is a .22. This one definitely needs a cleanup/deburr and proper lube, even though the insides are slathered with that nasty black "grease". No white smoke or loud bang on firing, which was a nice surprise. I cleaned the bore with GooGone before firing, and wiped down the whole gun with Ballistol. I plan to chrony it tomorrow before attempting any teardown.
