Steyr Pistols in CO2 flavour

[derekm]

I'm pretty certain that Steyr made a CO2 version of the LP 1, but does anyone know if they did a CO2 LP 2?

[Peter Pig]

Yes, according to the blue book of air guns LP-1 LP-2 LP-5 LP-10 and LP-50 were made in CO2 and PCP. In all models the book says subtract 15% for CO2.

Thanks PP.

Anyone got an LP1 or LP2 in horrible CO2 flavour they want to part with?

Are there kits available to change the newer pistols over to PCP? I know there are some cheaper pistols (Rohm Twinmaster) that use either source of power. Does Steyr offer that same option?

Thanks,

Yes they do. I just had my LP5 converted to air.
Iirc, costed me about 250 euro's.
Does have more shots per fill in co2 though, and I feel, different recoil.
But thats the semi auto LP5.
Its not really worth the $$ imo, if yrs is shooting well, and you dont shoot matches (outdated cilinders).
I converted mine, cause an overhaul, incl new cilinder date etc, was nearly as expensive

Hi Derek
Hows the shooting going? I've never heard of a Co2 LP2, but there definately are LP1's about in Co2. That's if they've not all been converted to PCP. We had two club guns, both shot beautifully, we converted both to PCP for convenience and so we could reduce the weight for Juniors and beginners with the compact alloy PCP cylinders. I think you'll find that you can get early Steyr PCP's now for a similar price, go on, cross over from the dark side, get a PCP one!!
We did also have some prototype Steyr alloy Co2 cylinders that Steyr gave to Mick Gualt to try back in the deep snow.
Best regards
Robin
