Good ole Steyr pistol trigger

Post by Alexey931 »

Hi, everybody,

Can anybody suggest a way to get the subject? Not the ALU thing, not that twisty black trigger shoe thing, but the first variety of the Steyr trigger, LP1 and first issues of LP10 used to be equipped with? Not that I were not willing to pay, but living in Russia I have a bit of a trouble transferring money to the West.

Best regards, Alexey

Are there Steyr dealers in Russia, I just bought mine from the dealer in Canada. If not I'm sure one of the dealers in Europe or even the steyr factory could help.

No, there is no Steyr dealership in Russia to the extent you wouldn't beleive. And Steyr don't manufacture the item in question any more, to my knowledge. It's the question of some surplus.

Best regards, Alexey

The LP2 trigger looks to be the same.

Sure. But it isn't on the list with Steyr accessories, or am I mistaken?

It doesnt have to be an accessory, just order one. If they make it, they will supply.

we sell a lot of these triggers, they are no problem to get from Steyr. As many good connections as Steyr has with the Russian team, I would be suprised if you could not get this in Russia somehow

2 or 3???

Post by Fred »

In his initial posting, Alexey mentions 3 finds of Steyr AP triggers (trigger blades), but I am aware of only 2. Would someone please refer me to pictures, or give an explanation of what the 3 types are? I would really appreciate it.

TIA,
FredB

There are 3:

1. The original has only adjustment back and forth along the rail on the Pistol (This was found on the LP 1 and LP5, maybe even early LP10's don't know)

2. The adjustable trigger shoe allowed the adjust above as well the shoe could be moved up and down the post and rotated left to right and back to front.

3. The shoe part actually looks like #1 but has the adjustments of #2.

The problem with #2 for me was that I have short fingers and could never bring it back far enough because the adjustment screw on the trigger was on the back of the trigger and the whole Mech. was kind of large, I went to the LP1 Shoe and that solved my problem, I have since tried the latest shoe #3 and it too works for me as it can be moved back as far as shoe #1.

Guest,

Thanks much for the links - that was exactly the information I needed! I was not aware of the latest one for the LP10, and it looks very nice. However, I can't see from the Steyr link how the blade assembly is secured to the cylindrical trigger bar. Is there a set screw on the left side (unseen in the photo)?

Thanks,
FredB

This is the Alu Vario that came on my LP50. I swapped it with my LP1 trigger and like it so much that I am buying another to put on the LP50. It moves along and rotates about the mounting rail. There is a small post at right angle to the mounting rail and the blade moves up and down this post as well as rotates about it.

On the availability of Steyr parts in Russia

Dear Sir,

You are dead right about the good connections with the Russian team, but there are, shall we say, nuances... You have to catch a member of the team at the right moment (before some match abroad, where there is Steyr dealership), make him remember, then deliver the thing to you and not to somebody else (happens all the time). In practice and in terms of time in means months building up into years.
For instance: the story of the broken hammer spring, which already left some tiny footprint with pilkguns and targettalk. After some eight months of asking, forgetting, unhappy coincidences, etc., I asked my friend in Wisconsin for help. He ordered the sorry thing from pilkguns (50 cents)and mailed it to me. Remember that you just can't shoot your gun without the hammer spring. I've been soliciting the trigger for more than a year. Succeeded once in delivering it to somebody else. The last try was in Moscow, at the Europe championship. The dealers who normally attend such matches were refused custom clearance. So much for good connections. Of course you can shoot your even with a trigger you don't like, and that helps a lot.

Best regards, Alexey

Steyr Alu Vario Trigger

Post by GaryBF »

trebilcock,
If you look at Pilkguns price list under Steyr, they list an LP10 trigger (new style) for $35.00 USD. I believe that is what you want.
Fred

thanks

FredM,

Thanks for the picture. It certainly is clear from your picture how the unit is secured to the bar, as you can see the end of a tightening screw. For some reason, this screw is absent in the Steyr website photo.

Thanks,
FredB
