#1 Steyr LG100 - Blast from the past

Sun Feb 01, 2015 1:48 pm

each time I view this picture, saliva dribbles from the mouth :lol:

So, have decided to attempt a LG100 MkII, or a Retro LG100/LG110 mod & pimp - black Matte chassis & with same black / yellow laminate, silver plastic bit...all internals etc...as new LG110.

Cant wait :mrgreen:

...interesting to note - some ideas were thought off way back then...in 2007 !

1. Quick release levers (now as fitted standard on new LG110 FT rear MEC butt)
2. Adjustable hamster using these
3. Offset grip (now Rowan has commercialised these as of 2014)
4. Grip rest (were any used back then on UK Steyrs ?)

So, what happened to this project?

I had one of the early black / yellow LG100's, with the stainless barley sugar twist barrels.

Best test group I got, at 55 yards outdoors in dead still conditions was 6mm edge to edge, more usual groups were 8mm.

Why didn't I win everything going with it? Because it took monstrous amount of wind, which made the windy courses down here in SWEFTA (Cornwall, Shebbear, South Devon and South Dorset) dead tricky.

Nice rifle though, I wonder what happened to them all, they used to be everywhere.

Agreed, Nice rifle...currently Project on the shelf, as life events take over for Summer and other commitments...will revert in Autumn on the Steyr. As far as other air rifle projects are concerned, am trying to juggle the trio of Fwb800s I have - as I'd like to get those done & dusted ASAP. Of course, with MT Titanium bling & Carbon fibre ;)
