Wonder on what is the difference between this barrels for leshiy 2, which one likes slugs and pellets.. reason of my question is because im planing to order the .22 cal. 450 mm barrel set up for my gun and i need your knowledge to decide which barrel is better or if is just the name the only difference between them
Lothar walther or alfa precision barrel for leshiy
- Thread starter OldWolf
- Start date
There's at least 3 different barrel manufacturers for the Leshiy 2. LW and Alfa as has been mentioned. But there's also a Russian vendor on e-bay. The Russian barrels are so cheap I put in an order for a pair. Tracking says they are still in transit, but they were expected to be delivered by Jan 10th. I imagine Canadian customs treats things coming from Russia like they're suspicious so I imagine my parcel is sitting on a shelf in Canada customs, waiting for some bureaucrat's attention. edit: I know one other person who put in an order from the same vendor. He's been waiting one month more than I have. So if it's not Canada Customs causing trouble, perhaps this vendor is unreliable.
I have both some LW and Alfa barrels, but no two of the same type. So I can't do a head-to-head comparison.
You can find the widest selection of LW and Alfa barrels on the Spanish site.

Oddly enough I felt like my 250mm .22 LW shot slugs better than pellets.
My new 350mm .22 Alpha Precision barrel is shooting pellets really good so far. 8 on 8 @50y

Alpha makes some top notch barrels, I think it'd be hard to go wrong with either. Just pay attention to the twist rate, and get one best suited to your projectile

Not really a direct answer to your question, but I have two FX 600mm barrels converted to work with my L2, one in .25 and the other in .30. Both of them shoot “lights out” like most FX barrels. In fact, my .30 cal is among my most accurate airguns, certainly the most accurate of any of the 4 barrels I have had on my L2.

I am going to recommend you get the .22 Alpha barrel. I have one in 250mm and one in 600mm. Both are super accurate barrels with pellets and slugs. They are good with JSB and Crossman pellets and with the 600mm I am shooting Apex Airgun Ammo 36gr boat tail in .219 - 0.5" @ 50 yards @ 900 fps. Also shoots the 25gr JSB RDW amazingly anywhere from 900 - 1000+ fps.

I had no idea there were other manufacturers for barrels outside of Edgun and some sketch russian ebay options. Has anyone done the DonnyFL adapter for FX barrels?

I have DonnyFL adapter for .22 and used it to put my 600mm superior stx barrel in my Leshiy 2. It works, but the adapter looks cheap (plastic). I replaced it with Huma-Air adapter (copper material) and felt much better.

FYI. I bought one of those sketch .357 Russian barrels. Took about 4-5 months to get to the US and was bored so tight nothing would fit in the barrel. I will say that the machining to make it single shot was pretty good. But the barrel was way out of spec.

I have 2+2 Russian barrels, 350 and 500 in both .22 and .25.
Never tried the 350's but both 500's shoots well after fire lapping.
Finally almost after a year shooting the L2 I ended up with 600 in both .22 and .25.
Somehow liking the longer barrels better, may trade the short barrels in classifieds.

My 600mm .22 Alfa barrel shoots the JSB 25gr redesign @ 65 fpe when the reg is set at 160 bar. Accuracy at 50 yards is very good. Haven't gotten to stretch to 100 but once and it was more me than anything else that didn't do very well.

If You order Edgunleshiyshop from Spain.... If I'm right all models comes with choked LW barrel but You could buy also Alpha barrels. Those start at .22--->
the first two in this chart are .177 and .20 they are LW's barrels only. The picture is from their techspecs page

I've ordered LW barrels from the Spain Edgun shop. The ones I received were all unchoked.

Ok. My knowledge is based on that table. It says: yes choked 0.01 for LW
That table is from Spain Edgun shop webpage.

When I enquired from the Edgun Spain site they told me that table wasn't correct for the LW barrels they had in stock. It's unclear to me if they had a temporary unchoked stock, or if it was a permanent supply issue -- you'd think they'd correct the table if it was permanent.

What is a latest story with the mags?
I still use the 2021 L2 configuration and over 10K pellets, but never tried to stress a slug through the "original" red color pellet mags.
I was using the 3rd party Russian .22 barrels (x500) for several months back in time, but never got to try the .25 ( I have two lengths x350 and x500 just stting in my drawers).
Last year I mounted the FX liners and removing only for cleaning.

I don't understand this. That there are tables and diagrams which are not true. It is quite important to know if the barrel is choked or not.
I have one Alpha barrel but with the dimensions stated in the table regarding grooves etc.....
Need to check those measurements before doing anything else. In the table it says groove is 5.60mm and the current one (on webpage) in the table stated 5.61mm, the difference does not matter much but converted to inches 5.61mm is .220
There isn't available commercial slug on that diameter. So I need to cast myself. And make a magazine wider, probably
