I got the 1/8 BSPP in stainless steel for my Leshiy Classic and finally had some time to install it on Thursday. So far, I'm really liking it. I kept messing with the functions and since yesterday, I now understand how to get to each setting to make the adjustments I need. The only thing I need to figure out is the "Shots Left" once the Pressure Minimum (P Minimum) is set. I'm not sure if I need to let the pressure equalize first and then do a whole shot string for it to read accurately.
I had no problem fitting it to my Leshiy Classic tube. When I first installed it, I still had more threads to turn to have it aligned right side up. I put a thin o-ring around the gauge threads to help it align properly but it was still tight. I think I need a thinner o-ring so I don't have to overtighten the gauge. A word of advice. Don't use channel lock style pliers like the Knipex brand that I used that applies pressure to the gauge housing.
Use an open box/spanner or large crescent wrench to tighten it. When I used the Knipex pliers, the gauge screen cover started to flex and I had a small crack on the screen towards the bottom. My dumb ass mistake because I was in a rush and it was the nearest tool to me. I only had one day off and I wanted to install the gauge, mess with it, and do some tuning on my Leshiy.
If you install the gauge and run out of threads to time it properly, the gauge has a "Rotate Screen" feature so if it's upside down, you can use this feature to show the readings right side up. The only thing is that the buttons will be the other way around but now that I understand how the gauge works, it shouldn't be a problem and it's easy to use. The "Rotate Screen" feature only rotates vertically (Up or down). I wish it could rotate in 1/4 increments at the minimum so the gauge doesn't have to be overnighted or loose when you're trying to time the threads. If you want to protect the gauge from scratches when placing the stock on hard surfaces, you can loosen the Leshiy stock and slide it out a little to protect it. So far, I'm digging this gauge. I'll post some pics later when I get a chance.
