Steyr LP2 muzzle compensator on a LP10

I am wondering if it is possible to fit a Steyr LP2 muzzle compensator to an LP10?(remove barrel shroud) Will the 8 duct compensator cone fit the LP2 compensator and will the LP2 barrel weight fit the LP10?

I was wanting to make my lp10 lighter and wondering if this is a good way to do it?

If it does fit is the sight line height the same?

yes it is possible and it will make lp10 very light. i have done it in my lp10 for a brief period. sight line will not remain the same

Thanks Ghostrip, for the reply.
How much higher (or lower) is the sight line?

Do you know how much lighter the weight is?

i don't remember how many clicks i had to make but i don't think it was more than 5 or 6. with the short cylinder weight was about 860-880 grams. a nygord compensator was also tested and it worked nicely but i had to make more clicks in that case (the front sight height was bot the same as the steyrs). i ended up using nygords comp with the old aluminum cylinder (no manometer, no pressure indicator) for about 900 grams
