EDgun Edgun Leshiy 2

Maybe this indicates the problem. You aren't saying what your setup is. For example, do you have the dog bone and collar installed? Your number of magazines doesn't really say much.

I'm not a target person, I pretty much only hunt/pest with my Leshiy 2. But I occasionally play target games with my son. The little bell target has something like a 1cm opening and at approx 30yd or 30m I hit the bell consistently, only using a red dot or iron sights, with little effort, i.e. I can do it with less than a second between shots and basically mag-dump on target. That might be my only target games, other than sighting-in aiming devices.

I don't see people struggling with the Leshiy 2 like you are. Maybe point out these threads? My impression is it's mostly happy owners going about their business.
I don´t seek advice regarding the issue - then I would have asked. I perfectly know what I´m doing - I dont want advice that I´ve allready tried - I don´t want you to judge me over some l ines when i´m not seeking advice.
The list is the stuff i´ve bought the last 1.5 year to accomplish my mission. Every "new" setup has been well testes. Its alot of money to put into a rifle just to get it to shoot a 1cm group at 25yards.

I´ve been shooting this leshiy for 1.5 year and its as my 7th pcp rifle in house. I shoot 1-3 sessions a week in my backyard at 22meter and when time is I go to a shooting park to shot at 50meter and 100meter. The plan was to take the L2 out on a 100m range - but as long as it cant make a decent group without flyers at 25yards its not worth the effort. I hope ill get it solved so I can take it out on further distances. I also shoot a LP50 target pistol inside my house but my aim suck with pistol :ROFLMAO:

I´m happy to hear you have no issues and i´m also happy that other ppl doesn´t have issues as well - but its wellknown that the L2 comes with different issues.
Look trough this thread and you will see. Try google and you will see. Try look at youtube - I havent seen any other rifles that comes with so many videos of how to fix it regarding to which problem you have :ROFLMAO:
Where I live I know 4 ppl that owns the Leshiy 2. All 4 have had different problems. One good thing though - 1 of the 4 has a .25 L2. Its more precise than his FX Impact.
Not far from here there is a shooting club for L2 shooters only. Due to the dealer where I bought my L2 - they have the same opinion as me. I don´t know them though.

Regarding magazines. Its wellknown that the magazine causes fliers. When pellet/slug goes from magazine to barrel the tolerances has to be very tight on all 8 loading slots. Therefor many ppl buy several magazines hoping they will get one that doenst make fliers. A friend of mine has 7 magazines. He only uses 1 of them. The magazines have changed many times in material and slot layout since the first L2 (I wonder why ;)). All the magazines I haved o all have small differences.

Regarding dog bone and collar. It is installed right now. I havent unistalled it with the APEX. If you remove the dogbone and collar on a .177 you will get more power but also more FPS spread. I have alot of FPS spread on the APEX regulator - therefor I havent removed the dogbone and collar. Due to manufacturer and dealer in Spain I should not remove dogbone and collar. I will try it though just to see what happens with the FPS spread. I suspect the problem is inside the regulator. If I dont solve the problem otherwise I suspect I need to dissemble the regulator to polish and lube the rings. A regulator that are doing to much FPS spred is often due to missing lube, dirt or rough surfaces (therefor polish is good). Problem is that I might will get a creeping regulator after doing that since I dont know which "version" my APEX is since it comes with different caps for ball seating

Remember the .177 is more sensible to flyers than the bigger calibers. Show me some .177 8 shot groups without flyers.

With all said above - I must admit I still love the L2. I yelled at it 3-4 months ago and wanted a divorce but we are good again after I decided to make it a mission that must be accomplished. Maybe one day it will be solved. The good thing is that when i´m frustrated after shooting/adjusting/shooting/fixing/adjusting.......... (2 hours later) the L2 not accomplishing the mission - I change to one of my other pcp and have no issues at all..

I don't know what is that "Apex" thingy but if gives you trouble easy to swap back to REPR or EAR or whatever was the original Reg (this how I call it).
Looks like you spent some larger chunk of cash on that your project but have an issue with tuning it?
Try elimination troubleshooting step by step ;)
The APEX is the new regulator from EDGun.. Must be the 3 design and maybe 10th version? :ROFLMAO: It´s a complete new design but the design still has the "bad ball seating" problem. I cannot swap back since I got the APEX due to warranty on the E.A.R that was leaking. There is no way i´m buying another regulator.
Believe me - I have done lots of step by step troubleshooting :) All the gear is from the last 1.5 years. The last 6 months of shooting has been with the 2 x600mm alpha barrel (the first was faulty - it clipped with the behemoth (n)) and 1 months ago I installed the APEX. I suspect the regulator rings needs lube and/or polish.

...Must be the 3 design and maybe 10th version?...
I had to go back to my PC to check the old pictures, I got my L2 in Aug.2021.
Back in time that was a version before REPR, because when the L2 arrived to my hands next week I paid again an extra to get it "up to dated".
Here I must say you never "read the manual" ???
It says there in the booklet that Edgun is continuously changing things without any notice - to existing or future customers... These are not version or revisions but it is an evolution of things. !!!!
And it is not Edgun's fault that people always want the "latest and greatest". Nobody is forcing you to buy ...
I am saying that that Reg from 2021 was the best Reg all time... but people wanted to attach a gauge ... and this how the EPR/REPR was born and several varietions after including your whatever is called APEX.
And so on...
Are the today's designed parts better then yesterday's? Not necessarily... but there is a market that is ready to consume. There is a saying "if you throw enough sheiss on the wall something will stick on it".

Btw, I am a target shooter rings only, and the L2 - including the trigger - is capable of MOA 8 shots groups at 50 meters. My .22 L2 at least. 100 meters is a stretch for .22 cal and if you dreaming to shoot a .177 lead to 100 meters, well good luck with that.

My Impact MK2 started creeping lately, last time I polished the Reg pistons somewhere in 2020. I just did one hour ago before coming to PC. Started with 40 micron down to 1 micron mirror polish. That shall last some time again.
And you know what is a jewellery lupe? Get one of those, it is a great tool to see things we may miss with naked eye.
 
No gun is without faults. The L2 is easily repaired. Leaks are easy to detect. It’s just fun
Its pure fun! But too many repairs and faulty stuff. I look forward to the day I can say

I do read the manual :) but it should state "development in progress - due to L2 is not completed rifle and therefor it can have major flaws. You have to pay for all our "development" (fixes on existing problems with the L2 which we havent solved yet)" 🤣 and not that crap which is one way to cover up the mess. It should also be stated in the sales description so ppl know it before buying it. Majority of ppl do not read manuals before buying.
2inch groups at 100m with .177 is no problem... For the L2 it is though 😅 but I'm not concerned about that. Mission is to make a 1cm group at 25yards for a start 🙂
 
I bought mine when they first came out, forgive my memory as I cant remember the year , my point is I haven't needed to adjust anything or replace a single Oring yet. .22cal 250mm barrel. My thoughts on the leshiy2 is it was never intended to be a bench rest gun. It is extremely accurate probably as accurate as any high end PCP but... Like springers or bullpups it takes some getting use to in order to get the full potential out of it. Mostly I shoot 18gr. pellets 60yards or less and 1/2 inch groups are common. where the gun really shines in my opinion is 20-40 yards freehand, atleast in my short barrel .22 Its a woods walking beast!

Exactly!! It’s not intended for anything else. It’s a critter smasher at 20-40 yards. As long as you leave it alone and don’t keep turning the reg up and down it’ll last a long time. O rings will fail but there are hardly any. How many does an impact have ? How quick can an impact be repaired? The L2 has been easy to repair even with my limited knowledge of Airguns 🤷‍♂️.

Having followed this thread from the beginning, it's been my observation that all of the "problems" have been user error or over-expectation of performance. There are only a couple of legitimate issues that were sent out from the factory, and were corrected by Ed as soon as they were noted, that I'm aware of.
I got mine when they first came out through edgunwest and other than a quick tweak on the reg, have had absolutely no problems. Sometimes the gun sits for months at a time and no change in fps or poi.

I've read all the Leshiy threads and seen most of the Youtube videos. IMO you must have some selection bias. Repair videos were released by Edgun because he wanted to help the owners save money and know what they were getting into -- to illustrate how simple most common repairs are. This gun is pretty simple to repair. If you want to see endless issues, check out some FX threads.

Perhaps you got the Leshiy 2 with some unrealistic expectations. I don't know what's going on with you and your rifle. It's unclear if you really want to figure it out, or just vent.

Good point
Yes I had bigger expectations. Ill list them
- Less fps spread
- Rapid fire without plenum pressure drop
- Good grouping on 25yards
- Little maintance

... I have allready lowered these and might need to lower them even further.. maybe I'll go after a 2-3cm 8 shot group on 25yards, fps spread + - 15, rapid fire is 1 shot pr. second, lots of maintance.

Less fps spread? how bout this one?

I don't know about rapid fire I never had a real need for it...

To get here = many sleepless nights and many many thousands of pellets / barrels / jets combination

So on the spectrum of either wanting to solve your problems or vent, I'd classify this as a desire to vent.
 
Look at it this way. You are buying a fancy sports car which may need some attention once in a while. You don’t take a 911 Porsche to the dunes and you don’t take a Wrangler to the race track. Horses for courses. Edguns were made to smash critters not shoot group. They group well enough for head shots within 20-45 yards ish. You want to shoot groups please don’t buy an Edgun and complain. Buy a gun meant to be a bench gun. My reprx just went out I’m not sweating it. It’s a super easy fix but since it’s under warranty it’s going in but there’s a video on how to repair it. They don’t hide the fact that o rings and seals fail thats just what happens so they make repair videos. Keep on edgunning
