Erratic behavior Steyr LP2 (again!)
Posted: Tue Dec 01, 2020 8:40 pm
More than two years after my post https://www.targettalk.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=60674 I went back to shooting the LP2.
I have adjusted the trigger according to the David M's detailed instructions (thanks again!) and this time with a real 500g tension gauge.
After the adjustments, the "don't touch screw" was secured with a tiny drop of Glyptal Red.
On the bench, the pistol was just perfect, while adjusting, I dry fired it many times - never an issue.
With a target, it kept shooting great for the first 20 shots. After that, 20% of the time it was firing while pulling the first stage.
It never fired by itself, without the finger on the trigger. Perfect behavior for the remaining 80% of the shots.
I went through 40 shots before giving up.
Time to take it apart the trigger and clean up everything? Other suggestions?
