EDgun Edgun Leshiy 2
- Thread starter Navnesen
- Start date
Yes could be - received mine 8 of january
BTW, to protect the moderator and air tube from scratches and the cold aluminum sucking heat from hands I dressed it with bike tubing, also added to grip to give more volume and a non slip surface, not dressed the upper tube yet but may use the valve part of tube for the option of pumping up to correct cheek weld
Hi Towie, I really like your idea so got myself some bike tubing - but its really tight to stretch over the moderator - any tips?

Not much besides strong fingers and talcum, a tube with larger OD would be easier but would not shrink to fit the flat sides of the moderator, the angled front end and the grooves of the grip
I want it to look nice and stay put
The moderator is the hardest part, I start by expanding the tube with my fingers to get it started at the front, then applied talcum and pushed and pulled the upper section on as far I could, then the lower section, and so forth - was not possible for me to do it in one long haul
Bike tubes comes in different blends of rubber and thickness, the one I used is 0.8mm = 1/32" thick
I used the outer grooved part for the handle and turned the tube inside out for the moderator and lower air tube as the inside is smooth
..and washed and dried it first
I also like it very much on my 2 Leshiy Classics

great job! 
Finally completed my Leshiy 2. Nice and quite. I made the custom shroud with couple of baffles to push the air back over the barrel so I can use a short DonnyFl’s Tatsu.

@Jack.K - that's a pretty nice shroud design. Wish I had design skills like that.
Would you offer to make these for others?

I'm using o-rings a few sizes smaller than the stock ones and just slipping them through two of the slots (skipping one slot in between). Not elegant, but seems to work ok.

My regulator is set to 130 bar, with .5 and .2 nozzles I am getting a velocity of 943fps with .25 Hades using 450mm polygon barrel(polygon barrel seem shoot slightly faster then rifled barrel‘s) so I would guess your regulator is set around 125-130.

Rford71 - Thanks for that, I figured, as the speeds weren't lining up at all. The current setup is good for hades, so I guess I'll leave it for now. I need to work on my accuracy with the trigger. It's a fairly challenging platform to be accurate with. Much practice is required. I wish the capacity were higher, like 10 or 12 shots. I feel like I'm constantly reloading! It's fun, though.

Here's something interesting - seems the nozzles that come in the Leshiy and the nozzles sold by Brian are different. I recently purchased a 2nd Leshiy, a .177 in 250mm length. It came with two 0.2 nozzles. When removed I confirmed that they were both marked 0.2 but clearly a much larger hole than the nozzle kit from Brian.
Ed's nozzle on left / Brian's nozzle on right
In regards to the .25 450mm barrel question - I am running 0.2mm / 0.3mm nozzles and 160 bar regulator. Getting 970 fps with AVS .30gr pellets. Just tested some 39gr NSA slugs and got 875 fps for ~66fpe.

Wow, that is interesting for sure. I wonder which is the standard? I left the .2 nozzle in that came with my Leshiy when I did my testing. I wonder If the .2 that Brian sent with the nozzle kit is different than the .2 that came installed. Not sure if I'm ready to shoot AVS slugs anyways, I was starting to get frustrated with the accuracy of the L2, and it's definitely how the L2 discharges. I brought my impact out and was able to apply standard Markman fundamentals and made a ragged hole in the target with the same ammo, which felt great. Still trying to get used to how the L2 shoots. Part of my flinch is due to a bit of air rushing up past the magazine into my face. It's not a ton but a noticeable amount. Once I get the feel on how to ring that accuracy out of it, I'll crank the reg and get some of the AVS .2513 slugs.

ctshooer, how are the AVS,s grouping at that speed and what distance have you been able to stretch them out to?

The gunsmiths in Russia will drill the jets to set up the guns. The jets weren't marked until I requested to be sold aftermarket. If you really want to tinker I recommend investing in a go / no go pin gauge set. The ones I sell are properly marked cuz I don't drill them

For consistency across settings I'm sticking with your kit Brian.
@Rford71 - I have no idea what page of this huge thread it's on, but I did extensive testing with a ton of pellets for both fit in the magazine without falling through and groupings. It was very expensive to do this, but I found that the .2513 AVS slug in 30 gr @ 950 fps in either Dish or Flat Base is capable on a good day of a sub 1/2" group at 50 yards.

crshooter,
I remember when you were testing AVS’s early on at around 22 yards with good results, But wasn’t sure what speed you were shooting them at and if you had an opportunity to shoot any distance to verify the accuracy. I had good results shooting the flats, cups and dishes out to 50 with the regs at 150 with the 350mm. My regulator is now set at 130 with .2 and .5 jets with the 450mm barrel it’s shooting the hades really good but it Is way to hot for the JSB 25g at 965fps. I have shot all my JSB34g mk1s and mk2s and have been waiting for a order I placed in February
. As for air usage, do you think it is more efficient to increase my nozzle/jets sizes or reduce the reg pressure to get the JSB’s 25g to shoot around 880fps? I’m thinking it’s probably a combination of both.

@Rford71 - I would stick with the 0.2/0.5 nozzle combo and reduce reg pressure for the 25gr pellets. I never found the 25gr to shoot as well as the 34gr - maybe I didn't find the right speed - or maybe my barrel just didn't like them.

@ctshooter, I think my L2 prefers 34g better also, but like I said can’t seem to find any 34g right now so i’m shooting up all the 25g I have on hand.

I have an Edgun Leshiy 2 that I have barely used with original tank and the oem 300cc carbon fiber tanks installed, 3 mags, and regulator tester that I'm going to be putting up in the classifieds very soon. Everything comes in original box.
