So my L2 is only about 14 months old and out of warranty sadly, it started yesterday with each pull of the trigger a large volume of air also comes out, Brian at EdGun said to adjust the stopper screw, but still it has the problem. The roller still seems round and I don't see any debris and tried different mags, the barrel end is flush etc...

Any other suggestions or will I have to send it in to EdGun West for repairs, any ideas of the cost?

If you “lean” on the break point of the trigger without pulling through, air will leak. The longer holding force on the trigger at that point, the more air leaks. This may be what you’re experiencing.

Yes, these triggers are more like pistol triggers than your “match grade” variety. A quick pull and follow through is needed for no air loss, and decent accuracy. Takes some time to get used to.

no it isn't even with a quick pull of the trigger it almost seems like it's stuck and lose about 50-70 bars with even shot.

Y'all forgot to mention that the trigger waste-gate can be adjusted. This can also minimize the noise level and wasted air. Loosen the grub screw underneath the air cylinder, back out (increase the length) of the grub screw on the rear, tighten the grub screw underneath to lock it in place. Note that backing out the grub screw too much will restrict the airgun from firing. I like to adjust mine “just enough” to fire.

that was the first thing Brian told me to do, but it didn't work sadly enough

You might need to open up the valve and check all the parts. It could be a stuck nozzle or maybe a part in the valve. Tear in an o-ring, something basically preventing the valve from closing up in a timely manner.

When this happened to me I had tear the valve down and adjust the trigger stopper. Just the trigger stopper was insufficient. Something got stuck because of the dump.

sorry for the newb question, but when you said value is it the gun or the stock? Any extra details are appreciated!

This video shows how to adjust the stopper.


In my case, the dump from me riding had made the valve stick open. Still bot entirely sure why, but hasn't happened again.

Tearing down and reassembling following this video:


Fixed it for me.

If you've never done the before an important note! You MUST empty the gun of all air before messing with the valve!

See this video:


40 seconds for degassing instructions.
11:55 for instructions and removing the brace and then valve.

thank you, i just disassembled and checked everything, nothing was broke like the ball, springs or struts, maybe it jammed up?i did the stopper adjustment previously first and didn't work. i'll try to test it out later and see if it worked from the value dissasembly

No problem. Valve is easy, but there are a bunch of little pieces so be aware of that, but you'll be fine :)

well it still has the same problem, been messing with it all day today between conference calls at home/work.

i'm sending it to edgunwest and sadly it'll cost me $300 initially for the repair and it's only a little over a year old and well-taken care of and less than 300 rounds.

quite disappointed and kind of pissed off with it being over $2500 and it's a paperweight, looking into FX next.

Sucks man, I'm sorry the suggestions didn't work. If you find out what was wrong, tell us?

so it seems like one of my Poly Mags red tips was defective and got logged into the value, therefore causing all the problems. would this be a one-off defective ammo? i will just stick to NSA bullets and slugs, JSB's that are proven to work and not a gimmick maybe?

i'm kinda kicking myself also since I disassembled the value and didn't even catch that red plastic piece stuck there.

ETA" Brian said it took him quite a while to find out what was wrong too, now i don't feel too stupid, lol
