Cool I guess, if you happen to have a spare Steyr stripper sitting around, though I'd question whether this contributed anything to potential accuracy. The K12 is as accurate as any top of the line AP so it seems swapping to a ported air stripper is gilding the lily just a bit.
Whether you're using the Steyr air stripper or the stock one from Pardini, you might want to consider moving the compensator further forward on the barrel. As it is in your pictures it seems there's about a 1mm gap between the barrel crown and the rear entry port of the stripper. That small a gap eliminates most of the functionality of an air stripper. The general range for this gap varies depending on opinions and individual testing with a given pistol, velocity and pellet choice, between about 1/2 of a pellet skirt diameter (about 2.25mm) and 1.5x the diameter (so about 7mm). My K12 is currently set up with about a 5mm gap and I have to confess I find no measurable difference in vise tested group size between this distance and 3mm or 7mm. So I settled on about 5mm as it gives enough room to get an oil-whetted cotton swab in there once in a while to clean the dust build-up off the front of the barrel. PCP weapons seem to gather a white-ish powdery substance fairly quickly at the muzzle. It doesn't interfere with accuracy as it's all on the front face, but it's yucky looking so I wipe it out now and then.

Looks nice
Just ordered a Steyr 8 hole compensator for my LP50. Seeing this, I have ordered another.
Probably won't shoot any better, might sound slightly different.
But it's cheap bling.
So happy to give it a try.

After I got my LP1 from Pilk, I emailed Steyr and they said the 8 port stripper would not fit my pistol.
I was ready to get one though :)
But just in case someone has installed one on an LP1 and it fits, I just may get one.

Should fit!
Although the original cone is longer in the LP1. The diameter is the same.
Had one fitted on an LP5.
Buy one and try. If it doesn't fit, you will get close to your money back if you need to sell it.
