EDgun EDgun Leshiy 2 releasing mechanism for the folding stock versus rail ... aftermarket fix?

EDgun Leshiy 2 releasing mechanism for the folding stock versus rail ... aftermarket fix? I couldn't mount my rear scope ring all the way back because the distance between the rail and the releasing lever moves too far up. I seem to recall another thread where someone said the took a grinder and modified the top of the lever. I don't want to do that mod, but did anyone make an aftermarket lever so the back part of the rail could be used?

No but a 1/2 cantilevered pic rail flipped around backwards works good. I’ll see if I can find you a pic.

I had to grind off the part that goes above the lever. I ran this rail / dot / magnifier on my L2 for a while. Worked good. LMK if you’re interested and I’ll dig up a link for you.

I get what your showing there. Thanks for the picture ... pictures work great for me.

Noooooo don’t grind it. Put a longer scope or https://eaglevisioncam.com/shop/sco...cope-mount-picatinny-30mm-34mm-short-version/

That appears to be a mount full of features! I slapped on a new Vector scope and the low mount UTG rings from my past Taipan. Could have used that last bit of space on the back rail. With EDgun doing slight revisions, thought that lever would have been an easy change with little R&D cost.

I similarly use cantilevered rail extenders for my scopes that have trouble mounting close-enough to my eye.

I think I only had to do it for two of my scopes, the "no eye relief" prismatic scope and the Sightmark Wraith Mini. Everything else I have either has a built-in cantilevered mount (like my thermal) or they're fine being mounted further up. For the Wraith Mini it was kind of borderline -- I don't really need the rail extender, but it makes it far more comfortable for my neck.

My preference is the ADM rail extenders as they're quick-release. So if your scope doesn't have a quick-release on it, at least the rail extender gives you that option. They also pretty reliably find zero on re-mounts. I haven't tried every variety of rail extenders, but ADM is high quality and gives you quick release, as well as making mounts compatible with a wide variety of scope bases.
