So I’ve had my 9 mm Leshy 2 for about a week and she would not cycle so I googled and searched everywhere and watched the videos. I have polished the face of the barrel, re set the barrel cleaned the barrel replaced puck light oil and made sure it was not proud polished the mag stud released the mag tension screw completely. Made sure magnetic magazine plate is straight and not bent (1 was bent). After doing such it will cycle zan slugs fine but will not cycle jsb exact or fx pellets both 81 gr. I do have to use a pound and hammer to seat the pellets but I make sure they are not sticking out the front of mag. When I put mag in and rotate with bottle folded it rotates fine by hand but when it jams I have to open the folding stock a hair and it cycles. I’m stumped can anyone help? Love this rifle just need it to be reliable with any ammo I choose.

First I must say I am not a fan of shooting slugs with the L2, and there are many reasons, but people still do so high5 for that.
Next, there are many threads here explaining some or more indexing problems.
Before I explain anything, let's do a test.
You saying the 81gn slug sticks but not the ZAN. What weight is the ZAN? Can you measure the actual lead slug diameter on both Brands?
I assume the mag start advancing before the 81gn slug is left the mag = the heavy slug is late before the mag moves.
Is this the correct dictionary?

The slug is heavy - big solid body with lot of friction that slows it down, the mag start rotating and the slug is not in the breach yet but got pinched = jammed on the edge.
You can slow down the mag rotation with tightening the #12 or change to larger jets.
You need to resolve the jamming or it will cost you a #19 + #17

I got in touch with Edgun west it’s going back, rather let Brian see what’s wrong. I will update when I find out his conclusion.

I don't think that there is anything "wrong" with the L2, only the expectation is de-railed a bit.
Your slugs are full body cylinder and the amount of friction is different between your samples. We all have seen this phenomena with other guns and other calibers. You can check for yourself if any different friction with slugging the barrel each Brand.
I don't think with a 9mm there is a generic cure how to fix it, you may want to pick one Brand and tune the indexing to a single.

Well i successfully repaired my Leshy 2 9mm. I ordered a spare parts kit and after watching Ed’s video on indexing I measured both springs in the housing part #4 was 8.8 mm which should of been 10 mm and part #3 was 16mm the new one was 16.8 mm. Put it back together and cycled perfectly! 170 raptor reg 81 gr fx pellets avg 840 fps 126 ftlbs I get 2 mags on 470 cc bottle. Also I seated one mag and not the other both worked great very happy!!!!!!

Watch it not to pinch on the edge because that will do harm #17 and #19. The mag speed you can adjust with #12 from upper picture
