Steyr LP10

[discotwo]

Can anyone advise a fair price for a Steyr LP10 believed to be 2004/5?

Ask these questions assuming you are buying:- is it complete in the original case with tool kit, fill adaptor, instructions and pellet tin case?
is the grip the correct handing and size for you?

are the air cylinders original or have they been renewed? If not, then technically the cylinders are out of date so if you are interested in competition shooting you will need new cylinders, and for your and others safety do you want to use out of date cylinders?

If the answers to the second questions is no and the cylinders are the original, then you are looking at around £300-00 to bring it up to spec. A two to three year old example in perfect order, complete and cased would probably go for around £950-00. Only you can decide what reduction you need to make this one worth buying.

With the release of the evo 10 surely they can't still be worth £950?

Thanks for the replies, I am selling and was uncertain what price to ask.

I would say that most average club shooters take advantage of good value used match pistol ( and rifle) prices and the majority of them are shooting with "out of date" cylinders.

Much has been written on this subject in the BBS and I would suggest that you refer to them as many experienced and knowledgable contributors have submitted their observations - mostly suggesting that "out of date" but good condition air cylinders can be used for everything except large "open" or national/international match competition where is is a requirement to have "in date" air cylinders.

Some competitors use "out of date" cylinders for practice in any case but have to invest ( or borrow) a new "in date" cylinder if they choose to enter a competition that enforces the cylinder date rule.

If you can find an LP10 for £300 you will be doing very well indeed.

Realistically a good condition used LP10 in its case (hopefully but not always with the original handbook) for anything less than £500 ( with "out of date" cylinders) would be a very good and rare find.

Good condition LP1 match pistols can still fetch more than this and can perform every bit as well as the later model LP10 that shares many of its features.

Most LP10 pistols ( and LP1 pistols) usually come with "medium" right hand grips so if you happen to be right handed and have an average size hand then you should find most LP10 that you find for sale will fit you. If not, new grips cab be expensive but god used ones are available and a "wanted" request on this forum could well turn uo what you are looking for.

Good luck finding a nice used LP10. I think if you set your budget somewhere between £500 and £750 you should be in with a chance of finding a good used example - and it may well have short-dated or time expired cylinders !
