    Talking I'm getting excited

    I am in the process of negotiating the purchase of a 2yr old Steyr LP10. OK, so it hasn't got the newer Ball Bearing Trigger but I bet it will be absolutely lovely.

    Cheers Steve, when I told Nuala about it I was much closer to being DEAD than DEADLY

    Good luck with that one, Bob. Are you going to mount a scope, or use it with open sights?

    Cheers Sol, but looking at all those people, the "shower" didn't work too well.

    Well, initially it will have to be open sights as I don't have an adapter to mount my holographic but I'm rather hoping I might be able to get UK Neil to make one as I believe he has done one of these before, I just haven't asked him yet.

    Welcome to the club!

    You may find this of interest:
    http://www.airgunbbs.com/forums/showthread.php?t=390852

    I had my rail made by Hydrographics and it is superb.
    There are two broad options for placing a rail: over the barrel shroud and in place of the rearsight. I wanted the sight well back for balance and larger sight picture so went for the latter.

    With the barrel shroud option you've got two bolts to use just in front of the loading port so no problems. One fixes the barrel and the other fixes the shroud. Another option might be to make a bridging mount which clamps to the side rails at each side (where the balance weights fix) and goes over the top. You could even have this made with the rail higher up and a tunnel beneath so you could use the open sights.

    With the rearsight option the problem you have is clearing the cocking lever. I had the sides of the rail machined away far enough back to clear the lever. An alternative is to have an extended cocking lever made.

    My LP10 will be with me at the pistol gala on the 3rd so you're welcome to try it out then.

    HTH

    Adam

    Just thought of another cool option: instead of a rail just have a custom mounting plate made for a little JPoint or Docter sight in place of the rearsight

    Some very good ideas there Adam, thank you buddy.

    Well, the LP10 is here with me and it is in VERY good condition. It came with an adapter to fill the cylinders from my 300 bar bottle too. The compromise is that the grip is XS and a little small for my danny's but I think I'll put up with that for now, with a view to getting a small or medium grip later (When Nuala has recovered).

    The idea of making a bridge-over that clamps to the side rails sounds like a great idea, that way I could use the holographic sight for HFT and still use the open sight for 6yd UBC comps.

    Looking forward to seeing it at the next pistol comp, Bob.

    Btw, someone PM'd me the other day saying he had an LP10 for sale. I said that I thought you were still looking for one, is this the same one?

    Bob.

    Ps, it might be cheaper to have your little finger removed, than buy a bigger grip for a Steyr
