Hi guys and Merry Christmas!

I'm shooting AP with a Fas 6004 but I wanted to upgrade to a pcp. I've found a secondhand Anschutz lp@ from 2006 for 650 € (~720$). It should be almost new, just one box of pellets through it (I'm not sure if I belive that since it has more than 10 years) and the cylinder is new. What do you guys think?

Lots of Steyr parts/repair around. Are the old cylinder(s) available? Are you prepared to buy SCUBA tank and fittings or just-as-expensive pump?

Why do you think a PCP is a upgrade (though 'most anything is an upgrade from 6004)?

It has another cylinder but I don't know how old...
Would new cylinders fit? Are they from Anschutz itself or from Steyr? Can't find much info on that...
I consider it an upgrade because at the moment the 6004 velocity is way down and with too many drops, it goes from 240 to 270 fps... I tried the mods suggested to no avail and send it back to Fas it's not going to be cheap and I have already done it once to fix some major issues when I bought it thirdhand. I don't want to spend more money on it.
I like SSPs but they are hard to find here in Italy and usually overused.

The LP@ is a Steyr LP10 with a few bells & whistles added by Anschutz:

Different barrel (no shroud), and different front sight/compensator block. I think the sight radius is a bit longer.

Different trigger (the Steyr one is better IMHO). Anschutz installed one of their rifle triggers, which has a very small shoe.

Added weight & rod system (can't put weights on the shroud anymore...)

Cylinders, O-rings, & other essential bits are all 100% Steyr compatible.

Buy it...great price, great air pistol. You’ll love it!

Thanks guys

It's Wilson's 2nd favorite AP, behind his SSP Walther LPM1.

Too late... They sold it this morning...
The only other pistol I can afford at the moment is a matchguns mg1 (not mgh1) sold for around the same price...also secondhand
