@towle, I think with the longer barrel he wanted it for longer range accuracy, plus the 350 barrels are supposed to be a bit quieter.

EDgun Edgun Leshiy 2
- Thread starter Navnesen
- Start date
I picked up a 220cc bottle from eBay to test out. It is a Gurlleu brand with CE certification but had US shipping for just over $100. Length is 20cm and width is 5.5cm. I wouldn't want to go any longer in length as it would interfere with my grip, but I could see maybe a slightly fatter bottle. This is giving me about 60 - 65 shots @ 26fpe from a .22/350 barrel.
I'm still waiting to see what Brian is able to come up with here in the US.

Wow has anyone noticed that in the last video just posted the leshiy2 is folded the opposite way left hand side this is the only one I have seen like this what's up with that???

@ctshooter....isn't Brian selling the bottles from EdGun? Francisco has them available on Edgun.shop (see screenshot) in 300 and 350 cc. I have seen people here post their Leshiy 2s with bottles so I assume they got them from Brian, EdgunWest.com
@edgun aren't these air bottles able to be sold in USA yet? Francisco says they are specifically designed for the Leshiy 2. So I assume they only have CE approval and not DOT yet, if the bottles can't be sold in USA yet.

@Blackapw - I haven't seen the bottles on Brian's site yet. I believe he was working with a US manufacturer (can only think of Ninja) to produce DOT bottles.
I didn't realize the ones Francisco is selling are the ones from EdGun. They appear to be sized well.

@ctshooter - yeah they appear compact and from what I have seen allow you to close the gun all the way and lock it, at least the 300 cc bottle. Francisco / Ed has their conversion wrong on the width of the bottle. 67 mm is about 2 2/3 inches. So 2 2/3 inches wide and 6.7 inches long. So about the length of my iPhone and about an inch smaller in width. Price is VERY fair compared to what FX is charging for a similar sized bottle which is around a $100.00 more for FX vs Edgun, well done @edgun.
ON the price note....yes, EdGuns are very expensive, but market comparable. However, I look at some of the things this way. A plastic FX Impact magazines is $70.00 on up. I have heard people complain about the price of the Edgun L2 magazine being $90 / 85 euros, but I will say this, it is machined one piece of metal (looks like it anyways don't have mine yet to confirm) not plastic. I am sure FXs manufacturing cost is less than $10.00 for the magazines and EdGun's I am sure are more than $10.00. Daystate / Brococks are $60.00 to $100.00

i got my bottle from edgunEU it's the 300cc the smaller one I was scared of hand clearance but it was not a problem at all. But if i had to do it again 2 things I would have changed #1 I would have got the bigger bottle because I got the red plenum the largest one so it give me more room to add the bigger bottle. And #2nd I would have got the Fx bottle in 300cc because it comes with the adapter so you can remove it and still keep the air in the bottle. The Edgun EU bottle is just a bottle no adapter. Now it's great quality in fact great quality but that's what I got and am happy hear is a photo

Let's keep it real - regardless of product we know accessories are generally lower cost items to produce and mostly pure profit and you always pay a lot for them on higher end products. The OEM rails for your roof rack, Apple accessories, etc.
That being said - cf 90ci Ninja bottles can be had for under $200 which are DOT certified. Why does a tiny 350cc bottle have to cost over $200. The economics of the pricing doesn't make any sense to me.

@jld1969 nice looking set up and good to hear on the bottle, but you can get an adapter for the bottle so you don’t lose your air when you unscrew the bottle. I think Huma makes one of those.

I thought you had to remove the valve from the bottle?

Shoot them an email and ask....I know people who have dealt with them and they are supposed to be a company with good customer support.

Best fittings is a great co I use them for a lot of things. But by the time you but the bottle and then the valve you are cheaper to just buy the Fx and it's faster.

I am not sure why bottles with valves came up here - you can only screw the M18x1.5 thread onto the Leshiy 2. The bottle with an FX valve won't fit on the gun.
Am I missing something?

Good points. But if you are happy with your current setup then no issues. Right now I think I will invest in pellets and hold off on a bottle until I get a larger caliber barrel.

I haven't had my lower cylinder off yet, but I'm positive that you cannot just remove a bottle from a pressurized Leshiy 2 (i.e., there is no check valve on the L2's bottle port).

Here is a video from Wolfiek Group aka EdGun.Shop on changing the bottles. I am not planning on one for a while.

I know you don't need the valve to put on the leshiy2 but it's nice to have for the little extra and it's easy to Remove and put on. But yes it's not something you can use on the Edgun.
