Do you live in Europe, Yana?
If so, is your Steyr LP5 CO2 for sale?
Grip size?

Yes I'm in europe, but sorry, its not 4 sale!
I chronoed mine yesterday. A pretty consistant, but imo, too high, 534 fps.
I have an old test here of the Steyr. That one is doing about 472 fps from the factory. So I let it down to about 498. It sounds more quiet now. Probably more shots per fill, but less consistancy so it seems:
537/541/536/535/536/535fps
New: 487/479/485/489/486fps
Allthough it already had about 50 shots now and I started out with full cilinder.

What are yr Steyr LP5/50's running at? (speed)? Do you also think 534 is too high? What consistancy do yrs have?
I dont believe mine has éver been services in those 13yrs..

I wouldn't have thought that somewhere in the 530s would be too high, although you can obviously only judge the perfect speed by group size on your particular gun/pellet combination.

Mine is adjusted way above that, but only to make sure that when (if) I hit the targets in the 5-target event they fall. For that event you can accept a much larger grouping capability.

Cant really rest the pistols accuracy. I'd have to clamp it in. Otherwise, too much shooters'involved..
It dóes shoot fár nicer at this velocity though.
I contacted Steyr, they said 162 wasnt that bad, but 155 is better.
I'm using it for 10m target right now, as my morini is down. In the future, I'll use it for rapidfire probably.
Shooting targets, like cans etc, sure ís fun with the steyr isnt it!?
