Walther has with the Airgun manufacturer "Umarex". They make a lot of popular airguns for several manufacturers like Crossman etc. In fact Roman was gifted a Colt marked M4 .22 rimfire carbine a couple years back. It is a really close "looking" M4 AR look-a-like. In fact it was manufactured by Umarex, under contract, for Colt. It has only the bore size and outward shape in common with a real M4 carbine. Internally it is a very simplified blow back rimfire utilizing many die-cast parts. It works fine and is very reliable and accurate. Internally it sort of looks like an airgun though. To adapt it to suppressor work we had to purchase a "Walther" small fine thread adapter!

I think they might be integrating some airgun manufacture techniques, perhaps refining them, to firearm manufacturing. It is only my theory though, and needs further confirmation. If Ruger can apply jewlery making casting to making guns why not this, if they get it down and end up with a quality product. I have not examined it myself but it sounds like some have looked into the matter and not found it agreeable as of yet. I'd leave that up to the individual, but they have been given notice here to look a bit closer.
