STEYR AIR 5 / AIR 10

Is there any youtube type reviews or previews out there in Internet land ?
For a company like Steyr and the anticipation this gun has aroused you would think the industry or at least the YT reviewers would be jumping over themselves to get an exclusive either from Steyr or a RFD

Steyr UK do not provide demo guns for the Youtube reviewers so anybody wanting to post online content would have to buy one, so kind of delays things until one of us hobbyists takes the plunge and either make a video themselves, or loan their new gun to a reviewer

An RFD is unlikely to loan a new gun out for review as it's then secondhand..:rolleyes:
 
Further fettling.

The mag cover hinge is a 3D printed affair with an inappropriate countersunk M3 screw. Mine had split (presume from overtightening).

As it's printed, it is a thermoplastic, so I warmed it, reshaped and glued it, then glued an M3 repair washer over it. All now mounted with a more appropriate screw.

Stronger than stock.
 
Bipod turned up today so another excuse for a new pic

Now wearing a Magpul CTR stock and Ergo rubber pistol grip… Wilson Combat lower rail covers and of course a UTG Mlok rail mounted bipod which is light and gives a really stable platform

Pretty cheap as well which makes a change🤣

First tin of pellets finished as well and consistency is amazingly good, but as a side note a good reminder to always check your power after a tin or so… the power has gone up from 11.6 to 12.6

No anti tamper on these so easy to turn down but a thing to note… always check guys

How many shots are you getting from a full tank?

Have you tried getting a scope on there at all??

Yep I put a scope on it when I got it to see if you could.. not perfect but certainly usable but it’s not designed for scope use 🤨

Close the stock so it’s shorter and the scope is fine

Personally I have always though scopes on AR15 platforms are a bit odd

Looking good that, Very nice 👍
How is the original stock on these any sign of wobble? Also like already asked have you attempted to put a conventional scope on this? I do appreciate that you probably had no intention of using one anyway 🙂👍.

The original stock is rock solid actually, considerably less play than any of my FAC AR15's actually
 
So far I have added an Accu Tac FC4 G2 and a Gen 2 MDT Send It. Thinking of adding a Silencer. I have never had one before so what do you kind people recommend I look at please. Thank you.

Could you not turn the one piece mount the other way around 🤔.

Wasnt the problem getting the magazine out of these which is why the 10 is hard to scope up ? With the scope further back I mean. I dont think its the same issue with the 5 unless I have caught the wrong end of the stick.

The 5 round 'stick' magazine goes in from the side so isn't an issue. The 10 round one goes in vertically from above, with a hinged cover that has to be opened. The action was designed for a bullpup (Pro X) where this is right at the back of the stock, so not an issue:

Nope it would put the scope over the mag opening so you could not load it... :D

You could use a scout scope quite easily, but the 10 is not designed for scope use really

To be brutal if you want a 10 shot for scope use buy the Pro X or if you want a scoped AR style then the lower capacity five would be a better choice
