leaving the gun cocked does put additonal stress on the striker spring. You should also always unscrew the cylinder when yuo are not using the gun to take pressure out of the reg to save those springs and seals. You just need to ensure that you when do decide to screw it back up tight, that you fir...

Agreed FredB there might be a marginal difference, but surely if it was a significant difference the manufacturers would have mentioned it somewhere in the operating manual. I will try to get clarification from Harry on this one :-)

Re: Switching cylinders on Steyr LP10 (and more)

I've never seen anything written about this, but I do have a concern here. Maybe Scott, or someone else knowledgeable, will correct me if I'm wrong. When the gun is cocked, the valve striker spring is compressed. If you then only dry fire before putting the gun away, that spring will remain compress...

Re: Switching cylinders on Steyr LP10 (and more)

I have added some notes by your questions - hope they help Lee Well, how about that? I managed to make the classic mistake of not unscrewing the air cylinder _completely_ before retightening it. Sure enough, the green O-ring on the LP10's "nipple" now looks rather butchered indeed. Since t...

Hyskore Pistol rest ??

Hi guys Just a quick question, but does anyone use/have used on of the hyskore pistol rests for a spot of batch testing or general pistol maintenance - I am fed up of using a home made bodge job and was looking for something a bit more dedicated. Would be used mainly for steyr lp10/50 . Thoughts, op...

Lee so the big question. In your humble opinion is the LP50e's up to scratch? Tony ps what the heck - get both the red and the blue dress ;) That my friend is the £1680 question....and for the amount of a rapid fire I do, perhaps the mechanical 50 will do the job I need ? Only time will tell :-) Lee

Hi Tony I tried an Lp10E early on in May - very impressed with the feel, and the added electronics do nothing to detract from the pointability of the pistol. My only quandry is cost vs. use - I would probably get more use out of the LP10E vs the LP50E as I do more precision 10m......so maybe I will ...

Hi had news that they will be delivered either late August/Early September - I am still trying to decide whether to wait a while to see how well the new trigger unit works....but then again I can't wait, like a kid looking forward to Christmas

Hi Guys Thanks for all the responses - I find this a really interesting topic, particularly as most air pistols are sold with a 4.5 mm foresight as standard (apart from the morini I think, but I stand to be corrected). Just to clear up a semantic term, when I said 'more precise' I meant it 'felt' mo...

Re: Foresight Width

I have used a 5mm, but find that the centre 10s become a bit more elusive Just a point to remember, one additional outer 10 is worth more than all of your other tens being inners. I use a 4mm extra tall front sight on my 162EI (I aim really low). Yes, fully agree David, this is something I have bee...

Foresight Width

Hi Guys, I have been using this site as a source for all my 10 m pistol questions and answers. Currently shooting a steyr LP10, with a current PB of 563; I have been pondering something for a while, and I know much of this is probably down to personal preference, but what is the consensus on foresig...
