Leshiy Classic Parts Help?

ClarkT · Sep 30, 2020

Finally picked up a Leshiy. I was wondering what parts you guys typically replace or had to replace on this rifle. The “must haves” so to speak if anything to optimize it? I have read a lot about getting a HUMA regulator. Replacing the digital fill gauge. Using better magnets etc etc.

Hope my question makes sense and thank you.

I never had to replace anything except for air and pellets on my Leshiy 1 in the 1.5yrs+ I had it. Very simple and reliable rifle.

Clark,

Glad you finally snagged one. As for parts, the HuMa seems like on of those "upgrades" that I liken to a cold air intake on cars. Do you really think the manufacturer didn't do his homework to provide an appropriate component. If the OE goes bad, sure, why not. I have 4 Edguns with the EDMU and they all still work and I've never changed a battery. I will admit the complexity and necessity to activate it are less appealing than glancing at an analog gauge. My new L2 has an analog, so thinking has changed for Ed. A set or two of O-rings and an extra valve poppet probably would be all you need. I haven't had to replace anything yet, but my usage is low, so I'm not actively trying to wear them out at this point. The nice part, is they are so easy to work on. I personally would not recommend the trigger modification, seems like a can of worms with limited improvements. I know that there will be others that call me a heretic, but I don't find the triggers to be an issue. After years of powder burners, most all airgun triggers are better than I was ever used to. Shoot it and enjoy!

Thanks guys that’s good news. Some of the tings I’ve read I got the impression certain things could be better. So I wanted to verify here.

I for one, would like the additional air tube to increase shot count. It seem, at least for me, the Russian after market provider will not respond to e-mails! I think you should just enjoy your new Leshiy, you may discover it is perfect just the way it is!!

I agree but I wanted to be prepared just in case.

I also wanted the air tube and contacted a guy making them on FB. His price was $172. I thought that was a lot. Possible my Ruble converter was broke. Not sure what others have paid?

Thank you Mark!

ClarkT - $172 is a decent price. I believe I paid over $200 each for the Russian DrozdPCP air tube.

To answer your OP question though - you really don't need to change a thing, unless you want to. I prefer the trigger single stage as it comes. You can leave the stock reg in at 130bar and use the HS to tune for nearly any projectile.

Thanks Ct. Is there a trusted source to buy these?

Dairyboy · Sep 30, 2020

I got a quote from drozdpcp last week of $192 shipped. Like others have mentioned just shoot it and enjoy. Very simple gun to maintain and reliable.

You want to make a little money, buy 5 and sell 4 of them here for $225. Bet you'll they'd sell very fast.

Rustem Edgun also makes a tank extension. I believe that is a different product than the Drozd?

Somebody in the states makes one but I can't recall the name. I believe Dairyboy used to have one on his so maybe look through his posts.

I can't recall if the stateside one allows you to drop the shoulder stock position. To me that would be an advantage of the Russian made product(s).

You can also drop your shoulder stock position with the CARM extension if you don't get an air tube addition.

I had a poppet shatter on my Leshiy so after that I have kept an extra one around but I'm not sure that's necessary as I haven't needed it.

Elbowgrease · Sep 30, 2020

No issues with mine. I have a second gen that came with a normal gauge before the started with that digital crap one. Had one on my Lelya. Gave it a chance and it ended up crapping out. Figures considering that the same company makes parts for BMW. Was considering the Huma reg but currently see no reason to.

Deepbass9 · Sep 30, 2020

John Hagan makes the ones in the US. If you search you can find his email or FB addy around here. zx10wall's Leshiy had one of his tubes on there, if you look up his recently sold Leshiy.

Endeavor · Sep 30, 2020

John Hagan does great work, that said I was quoted over 400 USD for the air extention!!

Feinwerk · Sep 30, 2020

I didn't like the factory grip, it didn't fit my hand too well and hurt my knuckle. I got an *.stl file on this forum for the 3d print design of a magpul hollow grip. I uploaded the file to makexyz.com and they made me a grip in black nylon that I like very much.

I added a forearm rail extension and bipod, giving more mass and stability during the shot cycle. I hung a Crosman pellet pouch over the air reservoir, adds mass, improves balance.

I also polished my barrel, about a hundred passes each with JB bore paste, then Simichrome polish.

Enjoy!

ClarkT · Sep 30, 2020

Feinwerk - Which rail did you end up getting?

ttik2k · Sep 30, 2020

The leshy is solid top to bottom, most of those improvements is owners putting their personal stamp on an already great gun.

Do you NEED to do anything more to it? No

Is it fun to do? Absolutely

u make it truly yours.

That's just my opinion tho

ClarkT · Sep 30, 2020

Good to hear I don’t have to invest in anything but a backpack, optics and pellets

Peskådot671 · Sep 30, 2020

As far as reliability goes, the only thing I can think of is picking up a spare valve or two. Mine never broke though. Maybe a backup gauge/manometer in case your EDMU goes out on you. Go to EDgun West and look up the schematics for the o-rings and pick up a whole set from the O-Ring Store. Other than that, there's not much parts to keep it running in the foreseeable future.
