Is a Wever style base available for the Steyr LP-5/LP-50 or the EVO-10

Contact Pilkguns they have several, some don't show up in the online store.

There's a custom piece that replaces the rear sight.
Or there's a Steyr piece that slides onto the shroud.

Wouldn't it be nice if the rear sight assembly slid on an 11mm dovetail?

It depends on what type sight you want to use. The Steyr mount fits both as it is in front of the cocking arm (LP10/EVO) and magazine tunnel (LP50). It only has one cross slot for sight mounting so you would have to use a Reflex dot or short tube type as shown in pics 2 & 3. The first photo shows a longer weaver rail mounted in place of the rear sight and a Millett dot (same mtg as Matchdot Ultradot). The mount could be turned around but I have not tried with a LP10/EVO to see if it clears the cocking arm.

Thanks for the detailed photos. I will contact Pilkguns. I see you are form AZ - do you shoot at the Rio Slado cluib in Mesa? I shoot there during the winter and look forward to using their new indoor AG range.

PS: Is the rear sight easy to remove? It sure would be nice if it was mounted on a 11 mm rail.

The longer mount shown was made using a purchased length of weaver rail cut to length and machined by a friend to fit the LP50.

The rear sight slides over a raised rib and is secured with a single screw, very easy to remove. You can see the standing rib in my pics. Not a proper dovetail but quite sufficient for sight mounting.

I live near Tucson, about 3 hrs from Rio Salado so I have not been there. I shoot air pistol at Diamondback Supply in Tucson. They have a 4 lane indoor range that is very nice. Might make the trip to check out the Rio Salado indoor range.

Was the shorter Weaver adapter purchsed from Pilkguns?

I don't know if Pilk's has the short mount or not. They are not shown on their website. Maybe give them a call.

I purchased the short Weaver style base from Krale Schietsport. It fits the EVO-10 but not the LP-50. Difference in curvature of the barrel shroud.
