finish on the wooden parts, without any drips, sags, or buildup on the edges. Something else worth noting is
that all the material surfaces have been treated, either with type-3 hard coating for the aluminum parts or nickel plating on the metal parts. This helps to greatly reduce corrosion and increase wear re- sistance. Steyr is known for exceptional detail on their Olympic and Field Target air rifles, and the LG 110 hunting rifle received the same attention. The rifle’s power source is an alu-
minum air cylinder than runs parallel underneath the barrel, protected by the aluminum stock. There are small rubber O-rings molded into the stock that keep the air cylinder from rattling around. RIFLE FUNCTION
The Steyr LG 110 functions similar
to a traditional single-shot bolt action rifle, with the individual rounds being directly loaded into the barrel, and the bolt closed behind it. Unlike a rimfire round which has a case, powder, and bullet, the pellet does not sit inside a traditional chamber, but is loaded into the rifling. There is a slight bevel cut into the lands, acting as a leade angle
for the pellet to orient. Pellets have a very small bearing
surface, consisting only of the major OD edge of the pellet’s head and the OD edge of the pellet’s skirt. When the trigger is pulled, an
internal hammer strikes a valve body, releasing a specific amount of air out from the tank and into the receiver, behind the pellet. This sudden blast of high-pressure air slams into the rear of the pellet, expanding the pellet’s skirt to seal the bore and launches the pellet down the barrel. That’s all there is to it. Now, of
course, there are more advanced models that use intricate regulators and such, but even then it’s still a function of metering a specific amount of air out to launch a pellet. While it may go without saying, the precision and repeatabil- ity of this process, combined with the quality of parts and assembly, is what separates the $50 Walmart BB gun from the Steyr LG 110. THE AIR ISSUE
While the aspect of the LG 110
function is straightforward, things change when you run out of air. Look-

ing back, I remember the days of pump- ing up my Daisy 880 Powerline BB gun. At the time it seemed like a lot of work to fire a single pellet, but it was the most powerful rifle I could afford, and pump- ing ten strokes after each shot was just the way things were. With the LG 110, the power is de-
rived from the air cylinder. Every shot taken uses a little air from the tank, and after about 25 shots, you need to recharge the air cylinder. There are
