New to this. How old before they shouldn't be used ? In the future I'd like a Steyr and some of the older pistols are cheap, but would I have to buy new cylinders for a 10-20 year old gun ?

10 years then scrap.
Lots of people in more minor competitions using older cylinders. Plus club shooters.
Pair of cylinders for a Steyr would be £240.
I would always budget for new cylinders if I purchased a pistol 10 years old and older.
Walther, Morini and Feinwekbau cylinders are around £320 a pair.

So if I just club shoot then I could carry on using older cylinders safely, but not enter major comps with them ?Originally Posted by nickm marshall

As long as they are safe for me to use then that'll do. Thanks !

We have some club (Wigan) LP1s with 20 + year old cylinders still being used, they don't leak either.
