You certainly like your LP2's. I am envious.
Pure class right there.
Only the bottom one is an LP 2 the middle one is an LP 3 and the top one an LP3 Match, I do also have a plastic grip LP3, just for the set
Lovely. Od love to add another to mine or the grips at least.
They do come up, the 3’s usually not working due to the valve, but they are fixable, just fiddly. My LP2 and the 3 with the plastic grips both turned up as boxes of bits, the LP2 I had to re finish the frame and barrel hence the slightly more crackle finish on it than anything else. The 3 I did a whole post on!
With the LP2, does the air come out of the barrel when you compress the air (valve seals) or is there no pressure on the lever? (Piston seal). To strip one down is no problem other than the valve cover that you will need to make a wrench for. I used a flat angle grinder spanner, made a paper template of the cover holes by rubbing a pencil over the cover then stuck that onto the handle, punched and drilled to make the holes. I then used 3 drill bits through the holes into the cover and it undid quite easily. If you do this first you can use the hammer to knock the valve bits up (and out maybe so hold it so you can catch them).I got mine out a few weeks ago, Cocked and dry fired once then cocked again and the compression had gone, Looks like i'll be buying a seal kit!!
Could do with buying a barrel release lever as mine was broken when I bought it, Still works though
This 53 still shoots well but the rearsight elevator screw is kaput, I really ought to get around to repairing it as i've had the bits for long enough!, I've a better sight too than the rubbish old Gamo one!

NEVER dry-fire a springer mechanism like this - it's a sure-fire air-gun killer.Hi, There's no resistance at all, I think I need to order a new piston seal, Thanks for your help
The barrel weight came fitted to the pistol, I was lucky that my brother in law was talking to one of his mates, Airguns came up and he told him that I collect airguns so he said he had one I could have, He actually gave me another one, An Air Arms Khamsin, Both needed work, My bro in law brought them for me!!
That'll fix it!
LP2, SSP, no springs or seals hurt in dry firing, just a bit louder.
