Walther MaximaThor strip

Just stripping the action of a Walther MaximaThor. 22.
It was supposed to just be a short clip but I got carried away I guess.
This can also be used as a reference for the Walther 1250 Dominator & the Walther TorminaThor.
As usual on here there is no fancy editing with Batman like splash screens etc, just me doing shit that may help out someone wanting to do similar shit.

Yep I'll be needing this as my Grandson has managed to get a couple of pellets stuck in the action, excellent video, many thanks.

I'm from Argentina, we're i can Buy the magazine for maximathor.25? I can't found it :( :( :(

[@gardenshedgunsmith1648]

It's the same magazine as in the Walther Rotex RM8 and the Umarex 850

Nice Video and good Informations. I own a wooden stock cal .25 Dominator1250 which I have optimized to 60J. We´ve nearly regularies in germany, here airguns are free/allowed till 7,5J, very boring. Also I´owned a cal. 22 airmagnum, which I have transformed in an pcp "dominator" with 40J. Also a .177 airmagnum with 16J. I work with this great guns since 2013. Have fun :)

[@gardenshedgunsmith1648]

Cheers for that. I gotta agree that beyond indoor 10m paper target shooting 7,5J is an absolute waste of materials. Don't really understand what the rational is behind such restrictive power limits for airguns.

Hello dear, I have tried the Walther Maximathor and the truth is that I am very happy !! I turn to you for the following question, because you are imminence in this type of weapons ... the question: I have bolt action firearms and these I can disassemble the bolt with the proper safety standards by withdrawing the bolt towards back, press the trigger and so these are disassembled! bullet in chamber but safe. the maximathor try but due to its automatic safety when holding the bolt, I can dismount but I feel a blow from the spring, is this advisable? or is it better to fire a shot without a pellet to avoid damage? Which one would you recommend? it is the same to extract the charger thank you very much !!

[@gardenshedgunsmith1648]

This is one of the reasons I converted it to manual safety. It is really simple to do. It is a PCP so firing with no pellet will not hurt it.

[@miloantares6722]

@@gardenshedgunsmith1648 Ok in those cases you recommend not to do the voluntary discharge, I mean that the firing needle is fired and the shot is not achieved? and is it better for the weapon to make a shot without pellets to dismount? So it is not the same as in firearms? Thank you

[@miloantares6722]

@@gardenshedgunsmith1648 Given the language barrier and my poor English, the question itself is: how do I remove the magazine or remove the spring from the bolt without firing? it's possible? or should I just point to a safe place and flush with only air, without pellets.

[@gardenshedgunsmith1648]

@@miloantares6722 The difference with a PCP is that the hammer is hitting the valve of the compressed air cylinder and not a primer. In a firearm, dry firing the action causes the firing pin to slam forward with no resistance if a round is not chambered. In a PCP the hammer is still meeting the same resistance whether a pellet is chambered or not. With no pellet chambered the air just leaves the barrel. The hammer and valve don't "care" if there is a chambered pellet. Hope this helps clear it up. Like I mentioned, one of the reasons I convert all my air guns to manual safety is because there are plenty of times that I just want to "ease the action" or de-cock it without firing it.

hello a question this rifle at the end of its charging port where is the pressure gauge has a dust cover etc? or is only the hole exposed? Thank you

[@gardenshedgunsmith1648]

Hi, The charging port is as you see it. There is no dust cover supplied but it would be simple to put a neoprene sleeve over it if you felt the need.

[@miloantares6722]

@@gardenshedgunsmith1648 ok good idea! Thanks

[@miloantares6722]

@@gardenshedgunsmith1648 Another question, do you know if the tank is made of aluminum or steel? And is it true that these have a limited time of use or is it just that the factory puts it in the manual as a precaution? Thank you

[@gardenshedgunsmith1648]

@@miloantares6722 The tube is steel and it does have a limited time life on it. All high pressure containers have that though. Usually it's 10 years IIRK. Each tube is stamped with a manufacture date and/or a good until date. It doesn't mean that they are throw away after that date but they should be tested and re-certified. Not a bad think really. We are talking about modern PCP air cylinders containing anywhere between 2900psi and 4500psi +. (200-300bar)

@@gardenshedgunsmith1648 Thank you very much, the truth is that the information you provide to all your followers is very useful !! Would you know how to tell me the correct measure of the thread of the end of the pipe, it is to know which suppressor to order in my country. Thank you.
