Edgun leshiy classic anyone still shooting?

Agreed angry little gun. Though going to try some lighter slugs, going to see if I can make 18 or lower grain slugs

Which cal and. What speed is your favorite?

Definitely .22. I used to flip flop between the 250 and 350 barrels. The thing is nice and tiny, then folds perfectly in half with the 250mm. And it still makes great power when you have it set right before it turns a little spastic. But then you slip the 350mm on and it gets nicer and a little faster with a better shot count. I could live happily ever after with either barrel.

The gun will shoot insanely fast even with the 250mm barrel. But I promise you, you’ll wreck the valve. Like I said before, 250mm a little under 800fps, 350mm a little over 800fps.

It is so refreshing to hear such a comment on an airgun forum.

So much of what gets posted seems to be... what is the most power I can get, what is the biggest bottle I can attach, what is the heaviest slug I can shoot supersonic, what is the longest barrel I can fit, what is the heaviest hammer available, etc.

Sure there are some use cases for high power, but not for everyone. And it seems that so many times when I purchase a used gun, it is all maxxed out and really lousy to shoot. So many seem to have forgotten the joys of a harmonic tune, well within the particular's gun's comfort zone without modding for power.

I'm no longer the owner of my Leshiy Classic - It just sat for too long in its backpack and has now gone to a new owner who seems to appreciate it much more than I did towards the end. But what a fine piece of engineering and craftsmanship the gun is! ..."simple and easy and light", and yet oh so capable.

This isn't an unreasonable approach though. You generally don't really know how much is too much until you experience it.

Can you buy valve replacements still or parts other then o-rings?

I have an extra valve for mine. Snagged it when my spidey senses went on alert when the Ukraine thing ramped up. Over the years I’ve had several PM’s from used Leshiy buyers who had gun issues. Both times the hammerhead previous owners got a little overzealous chasing big power and wrecked the valve.

I also store mine not folded .

I just skimmed over this thread & see there has been some talk about slugs. I've never tried them but I think it was user @weevil who did a .177 slug tune for the Classic using the factory 350mm barrel. It's an older thread so not to be confused with his recent L2 .177 slug tune.
