Can you convert an LP10 TO AN LP10E

Post by darticus »

Is this a simple project and is it worth it? Any thoughts on cost to do the convertion.

It's not a simple project to do. If it was, Steyr Sportwaffen would
have offered a conversion kit.

The only thing you could convert would be the compensator.

Just pay $400-500 bucks more, and don't think about tinkering with
your LP10.

Why? The LP10 mechanical trigger is one of the best triggers ever made.

Now, if you're stuck shooting 580 and the electronic trigger gives you the extra 2 or 3 points to get to the Olympics... okay.

Otherwise, you have plenty of other things you can work on that will improve your score *far* more than an electronic trigger will.

Just my 2¢.

As above, no it isn't. If you really want to go electric then part exchange the 'M' for an 'E'.

I do not think that it is even possible since not only the trigger is different on the LP10E, the whole frame is also different. If you compare carefully, you will see that the front part of the frame including trigger guard is different.

Livio Camini's quotation from 2009: "Forget it".
(Livio is employee of Steyr. He controls quality of the production).
