The first batch for the netherlands arrived two weeks ago , shooters finaly getting a leshiy waiting from may 2020.
mine is a .22 350 barrel and am still waiting to get my hands on a 300/350 carbon bottle.
The factory setting to hot imo at 300+ ms .with 16 grain jsb.
my gun came with two jets markt as 0.2 but comparing the hole size with my full jet set from spain the should be marked as 0.6 , no problem but should be a consideration if you want to order diferent size jets depending on the markings on the factory jets.
one thing that i was a little sad about is the coating on the back plate and the closing meganism, the lock pin scratches of the coating off in the time of say 10 magazines what is very fast for a quality gun of this price class.
i solved it by polishing the contact surface of the lock pin and the ramp of the closing meganism.
due to the bad weather ( wind and rain) and closed shooting ranges due to covid over here i still am not able to shoot representive groups on longer distance but out to 30 yards it preformed to my aspectation of this gun, in therms of accuracy it wil never keep up with my wildcat .25 an maverick .25/.30 but that was to be expected .
on these guns you can see the disadvantage from the short barrel as to the high power it is preforming, efficientie is much lower than the usual barrel lengths say 50 to 70 cm.
And the blow by air when the pellet leaves the barrel does not help stabilize the pellet, loosing some accuracy there
for accuracy and efficienty imo the 45 cm or 60 cm would be a better option, but that will ruin the great advantage of this gun as beiing a compact/ easy to carry arround rifle.
i did a small test for wich many edgun lovers will curse me but i put a 70 cm maverick barrel on the leshiy, it beeing a 14mm barrel also. Yes i know is look rediculess with that 70cm barrel
setup 100bar and 2x 0.8 jets.
its not 100 % fair because of the opening of the transfer port that the fx barrel has and due to that leaking a puf of air every shot.
but when a jsb king is pushed to the rifeling and shot i got 245 ms ( fx stx superior70 cm )compared to 265 ms with .22 16 grain jsb (lw 35cm)and that is shoot the air in trough the .22 magazine , so thats still a restriction .
my guess is that when shooting trough a .25 magazine it will get approx the same speed .
I will get a friend fixing me a new brass adaptor without a tranceferport in the near future so i can experiment with the fx barrels.
currently is have setup the leshiy for shot count running 0.8 jets and 80 bar and getting 243 ms with the 16 grain jsb leaving me with 70 shots from a 285 bar fill out of the small standard air tube. Preforming very well at the 30 yards with in a little less wind than my other sessions.
