EDgun Leshy 2 Barrel Tensioner. Anyone here running the tensioner as I'd like to know your thoughts?
EDgun EDgun Leshy 2 Barrel Tensioner

I am swapping my FX barrels with L2, 22x480 is my every day standard and x600 and x700, and I absolutely don't see any reason to put a barrel tensioner.
But here it is with a FX shroud.

Watched a U-tube vid showing free float versus tensioned. It appeared the user was just tensioning against the handguard with the moderator for both tests. Seemed the results were better with a tensioned system. I like the tensioned setup as the handguard area is not bulky and then allows for addition of the behemoth chambers.

I've been trying to take look at the EGW barrel tensioner but it looks like it's been sold out for sometimes. I guess I will digging research on FX barrel instead

The Edgun barrel is a full steel barrel. Mind you if I am asking what a H you trying to tension there?

That's a great question for ED himself as well as other mfg that have implemented tension systems in current and past with sales descriptions. If you are asking me why I considered it is the skinny forward grip area and the behemoth adapter. If it was even remotely possible, Russia has some slim slick offerings which do not require replacement of the locking pin, but I'll probably never get my hands on any of them. I don't need all the "FAT" on the front of my leshiy nor on my black powder burners. I thought about paying for customization of the 250mm mod for a 350mm barrel and then use a thread on mod.

I have the tensioner installed an my L2 .30, 350mm. I have only shot a few times at approximately 40 yards. At that distance it was hard to tell if there was much improvement on accuracy, but I think there was a small improvement. I’ll have to play around with it some more. In any case, I think the tensioner will probably be more effective on longer barrels. After all, the barrel is supported almost halfway up (on the 350mm) by the receiver block so the tensioner is really only effecting a few inches of an already very stiff barrel. I do like the look but I wish it wasn’t so shiny.

Thank you ... as of right now, I'm just sticking with the base standard shroud as I jumped into a bench rest rig ( again ). Poof! $ GONE.

I think that it would be more pronounced of a difference on the 600mm barrels. I could tell a difference with my makeshift version. I just happened to have a plastic tube that was the perfect slip fit over the barrel and was long enough to shape one end so that I could use the barrel shroud and as the tensioner nut essentially and just tension against the little plastic tube against the breach block. It worked well but I ended taking too much off of it trying to tweak on it, so I'm going to try to cad one up to feed to the 3d printer. I'll try to gather some info and post it if it works out.

Well thar she is. It's been raining all day so haven't really tested any. I only have about 35 meters out my back door to shoot, so I don't know if it will show any difference at distance in 9mm. I hope to get one of the Sub MOA barrels in .25 with the faster twist rate for heavier slugs. I would love to have it set at 130fpe with the 9mm Hades and just drop in a .25 kit and keep the same reg/power settings and sling the 45gn slugs at 1050 or whatever. Will try to get out sometime, maybe next weekend where I can stretch it out and get some long distance data.
