I just received an LP10. What a nice trigger! Shooting 7.0 grain pellets, there is no perception of the shot breaking as viewed through the sights. My first 60 shots after I got sighted in were 14 points above my average. I hope things stay that direction.
I noticed that the frame has an Anschutz logo. Is that who actually is making these?

Steyr Sportwaffen is the company behind the LP1/2/5/10/50...
It's a spin-off of Steyr-Mannlicher (military & hunting weapons) and Anschütz holds 51% of Steyr Sportwaffen.
They are each doing their own programm and production but sometimes help them out with parts.
For example: barells of Steyr AR are from Anschütz, the recoil damper in Anschütz weapons is developed by Steyr.

When the LP10 first came out (1999 I think), it had "Steyr Mannlicher" on the barrel shroud.kevinweiho wrote:My older LP10 without the ball bearing trigger has the Anschütz logo on the frame as well. It has the "Steyr Sportwaffen" logo on the barrel jacket...Newer LP10's only have "Steyr Sport"; they have deleted "waffen" meaning "weapons"...

Close, they came out in 2000. I think they had "Steyr Compensator" on the shroud and "Steyr Mannlicher" on the frame...j-team wrote:When the LP10 first came out (1999 I think), it had "Steyr Mannlicher" on the barrel shroud.kevinweiho wrote:My older LP10 without the ball bearing trigger has the Anschütz logo on the frame as well.

Errr... I bought my LP10 in 1999. Definately has "Steyr Mannlicher" on both sides of the shroud in bigger font than the later "Steyr sportwaffen" or Steyr Sport".kevinweiho wrote:Close, they came out in 2000. I think they had "Steyr Compensator" on the shroud and "Steyr Mannlicher" on the frame...
"Steyr Compensator" might have been on the LP1 as they first came out with no compensator (CO2) and then added the comp. some time mid 1990s. See pic:
