EDgun Leshiy 2 Megathread - It’s here!
- Thread starter NoLandBeyond
- Start date
Just wanted to say I have received the Leshiy 2 and is extremely well machined , accurate and I am very happy with it. Have also ordered some of the Valkyrie accessories/moderator to arrive this week. We have made a “Pell-Lug” in .30 cal specifically for this gun. It has a hollow point with a fairly hollow base with overall slug design. Ballistic gel testing to be finished this week or next. Getting the sweet spot on the die for ideal grain weight. Thanks Brian and Ed for bringing such professionalism and outstanding quality to this sport/hobby.

My pucks appear the same as the ones I have seen on here. my digital mic is reading 7.35 / 7.36mm . I did not shoot it past the two mags yet. But it seems like 3+ mags will be no trouble the way it is tuned now out of the box.
I have the reg tester, but it is almost dark when I get home from work now, so it will probably be sometime this weekend before I can really get out and shoot again.
It really is just a fantastic setup and the semi-auto runs so smoothly. I can't wait to shoot it again soon. I will let you know as soon as I can on this.
I am going to set up my steel plates and do some timed runs steel challenge style...........
Safely of course.JT

So far, I love everything about it and will shoot some groups in the days to come.
I was excited, and did indeed accidentally shoot it without the mag in and lost my first pucking puck.......good thing for the Spares
Thank you Brian, Ed and Edgun Crew.
Congrats you lucky somanabatch- but if the L2 is anything like the Leshiy Classic, you don't own it - it own you!
I will have to wait a month or so but I don't mind, I enjoy the excitement and to read about all your joys over your new toys - please keep it coming, what a ride this have been up to now..
Thanks towle, Yes it really has been a fun "ride" these folks have driven for us. I enjoyed it all from the first "Anubis" video right on through.
Ed's, Brian's, and tflatts99' videos and all of the forum posts here made the wait much more bearable for this guy at least.
Hang on!! that month will go by fast for you I hope. I have a powder burner frame pre-ordered that I am still waiting to be machined well over a year later.......

Thanks for the update. The steel plates sound fun. I'm just trying to absorb all the L2 info I could get so I know what to expect when I receive mine. It definitely has been a fun ride from the beginning.

Looks like about 5 bar per shot.
3 mags from about 240 to 130.
Appears reg is set pretty close to 130. Gun gauge appears to be sticky at some points.
Gun fires quite smooth at this level - no kick or jump to speak of.
Cycling is very smooth so far.
Cover plates are a pain to get off magazines. A magnet with cloth cover (to protect plates)
was an easy solution.
Magazine is a little bit of a pain to remove and remount. I need better technique.
Filling gun was easy.
Folds and unfolds very smoothly.
Utilized stock moderator. Seemed not to bad for in basement. Next up is a Valkrie (sp) test.
Could always be quieter.
Trigger very adequate for me. I can’t feel well and pull harder than most anyway.
Trigger definitely not a sore or sour point. It moves very freely.
Safety lever - Remember red is danger ready to shoot - gun is hot and will fire.
White is safety on — no fire - but always practice good safety skills - act like its broke.
Safety worked every time for me.
Very solidly built. No slop. Positive engagements. Grip is quite nice for a large palmed and hand person. Will probably experiment with a different grip sometime in the future due to my hand size.
So far I would buy it again.
Thanks to Brian. Smooth transaction from start to finish.

33 FtLb and 3+ mags from a 240 fill from this tiny platform is sort of awesome IMO. Thanks for the post and data.

Hi,
I’ve come up with a solution to detach the back plate of the magazine
It almost looks like a male foster. Looks clean and I like it. If you got it at Amazon, could you post a link?

I owned the leshiy 2 for 2 days before I sold it.
Short version of the story: I had both an .22 FX impact compact and the .22 long leshiy 2 with plans to keep only the one I liked best. I chose the the impact.
Long version: The leshiy 2 is a great gun. It is light and feels lighter than it is because most of the weight is in the rear where it rest on your shoulder. Semi auto is definitely a ton of fun. The craftmanship, build, and finish is the best I have seen. The thing is beautiful and just plain cool. It is the perfect "walk through the woods and stalk squirrels" gun. I would feel like I was cheating if I did a run and gun on some squirrels with a short range optic fitted. Now for the things I didn't like. Yes the mag plate is hard to get off but I see that subject has been covered. The trigger feel is weird. It has a trigger pull instead of a trigger break. It is smooth and feels good but just different. It takes some practice time to be able to shoot accurately. The sound is also very different. It sounds like an air-nailer. I've read people are complaining that it is loud but it's really not that loud. The sound it makes is not like the normal quick pop or crack it is a longer sound and I think seems louder for that reason. Accuracy was decent. I was getting a little over a half inch at 50 yards in no wind with JSB 18gr. With slugs I had zero luck. I tried a few different nielsen slugs .217 and .218 in different weights and also fx hybrids. The best accuracy I got was 3/4 inch at 30 yards with .217 nielsen 24gr. I do not know if slugs will ever shoot accurately because of them being fired from a magazine. The biggest reason I chose the impact over the leshiy 2 is because I chose being able to hit a target from 200 yards away over a smaller, lighter, fun to shoot semi auto. The leshiy 2 is a great gun but people are different, we like different things, and the Leshiy 2 wasn't what I liked.
