Styer LP2 Compensator

[Jchurch]

Hello, long time lurker, but not much constructive to add, so new poster. Compensator on LP2 came loose. Three sets of witness marks on barrel. Question is how far should cone be spaced from the end of the barrel?

Thanks,
Jim

We had an LP2, some time back. If I remember right you can push it on until it stops, then tighten the screw.

There is no mechanical stop of compensator position for LP2. The universal distance between the barrel face (muzzle) and the compensator blade is 4.0 to 4.5 mm. Minor differences of vice grouping may occur at a certain muzzle velocity and a certain brand of pellets. With the LP2 Compact, the face of the compensator is flush with the face of the air cylinder.

If you want to do it exactly, you can look at the position of the cutter on the LP10. There is a fixed and probably optimal. I had one of the first LP2s, produced in 2004. It was about 4 mm. The muzzle velocity was (by producer) set for JSB 4.49 Yellow 149 to 152 m/s for the best accuracy. Hopefully it will help you.

Thanks for the help. No word yet from Styer, hence the post. If I do get official answer, I'll post it here.
