Unless you have an FX airgun that takes a bottle with that valve this makes little sense to me.

Thats why I said it because I have a lot of FX airguns even my Delta wolf will have one so it's nice if I want to put on a compact bottle on one of them.

FX bottles are m18x 1.5. The FX adapter with the shut off valve outside threads are m18 x 1.5 so yes they fit any m18 x 1.5 bottle but the valve itself has a smaller female fitting that only fits the FX male fitting on their rifles. So the Leshiy 2 accepts a m18 x 1.5 bottle. The FX adapter will not fit the Leshiy rifle. Just to make it clear so someone doesn’t go and buys one for their Leshiy 2. Or any other rifle for that matter. Hopefully Brian will have his bottles by the end of November.

@rld1969 Thanks, it is nice to know someone has what I am considering. Speaking of worth it. Do you find that the moderator that comes with the Valkyrie kit is worth the money for other than looks? I mean does it quiet the rifle down?

yes it works well but I have the bigger 200x350mm size Valkyrie it's a deep sound not I high pitched sound I can't believe it works so well because this is so simple looking. Now hears the thing I have a solvent trap cleaner I use for cleaning my guns powder burners. And it's the same thing as this but more baffling some guys use them as a silencer I would not do that but just saying they do. So I might try one out the see how it does. But yes it's worth getting the Valkyrie kit the only thing that I would say is better would be the emperor by Donny but man it's big

@jlr1969 Sadly, I have to hold off on the Valkyrie kit, but I purchased the 1 L buddy bottle system and some fittings from Best Fittings today. I figure that set up with cover everything I have for now for use in the field. BF calls it the “Weekend” but I figured it will refill the L2 air cylinder 10 times minimum and then for the Taipan and maybe coming Matador / Leyla / Taipan Long depending on if Taipan releases something new next year.

Finally got this little guy. Been chewing on my T111 plywood on my shed this summer. The walnut tree beside the shed was too much for him and he was distracted. Shot him from the garage about 45 yards. Missed him on the first shot and got him on the follow up shot when he turned to see where the shot came from. I am still figuring out this trigger. My experience so far is to as Brian explained , pull the trigger rapidly and not squeeze it until it goes off. There is a definite difference in the way the shot sounds and the gun is more consistent accuracy wise with a consistent quick trigger pull. Anyone else experiencing this?

Yeah, the first shot might me a little hotter than the rest. If you're finding that to be the case, hold under ever so slightly on the first shot, but the trigger pull just needs to be smooth and swift

Let's talk air usage. For those who have their L2s how much more air have you been using?
I have a 9L tank that I used to fill maybe once a week, if that. Now I find myself filling it from 3500psi almost every other day. My Shoebox is going strong, but I've literally put 70 hours on it since I got my L2.

I am using air like crazy, needing to fill three tanks 44cf (30 min scba) tanks from 3000psi to 4000 psi every week.
Shooting result and impressions
comments from those that have received their Leshiy 2. I find that the 350mm .22 LW barrel perform poorly with JSB 18.13g pellets. chrony on the gun and barrel is good. spread over 16 shots is only 5-15 fps. groups at 23 yards is 1" end to end.
JSB 15.4g and 13.43 g group about 2 pellets wide only.
.22 and .17 barrels are LW
.25 and .30 are Russian made. My .25 350mm barrel shots 2 pellets wide also.
Also Got the 350cc fiber bottle from Spain today. I am so happy with it. it tripled my shot count from 250 bar to 120 bar.. Highly recommended. Hope Brian gets some in soon for those that want to order one. My delivery took about 10 days. was stuck in France for about 6 days without movement. to install, no valve was needed to install. just screw the bottle on to the Leshiy 2

poop. I ordered some mags and a 350cc bottle from Spain earlier today. Hope it gets here sooner than 10 days
Regarding air, my compressor has been working overtime filling my little 97cu-ft tank, but I did substantial testing and tuning with my L2 before determining the optimal reg set point for my purposes (127 bar).

@twohsieh, question when you say “tripled shot count” what exact numbers are we talking? For simple math sake, did you get an increase from 25 to 75 shots? (9 magazines from 3)? Just curious.

@Blackpaw I'm still sitting stock with a .22/350mm setup. I'm using about 100 bar every 2 mags so 32 shots on the factory tube from 300 bar to 100 bar. I haven't shot the 4th enough to see if dropping off the reg for the last few shots makes any real difference as I've be refilling after 2 mags recently (hand pumping). I would assume my reg is set at 130 but I haven't tested it yet.
This is with the JSB 18.1's @ 945 fps for 36 fpe.

I have the.30 and went from 20 shots on a 250 bar fill, to 40 shots from same fill. That’s with 44 grain JSB’s, and the 350 bottle. Its crazy how fast you can go through 40 shots with this rifle!

Well, I went ahead and ordered the 300 cc bottle for my .177 (still waiting) along with an extra magazine. The pucks are sold out so I will have to wait until next time.

Number of magazines went from 3 to 6-8 per fill, so I guess double to triple would be more accurate. I will report more data. Only had about an hour yesterday to shoot after installing bottle.
