Edgun R5m .25 hard cocking issue
- Thread starter mubhaur
- Start date
If so, a seamless-looking alteration was made to the stock as well. Nicely done if it's not factory.

My Lelya 2 (same action) is also hard moving.
I don't baby it...just give the little handle a hard pull, then back, a hard push. I don't know how many shots I've put thought it, but it's still working fine over 5 years later. And yeah, not perceptibly...easier !

When I
Oh, I could slam the handle forward and it would lock, but that didn't work for me. I don't walk around with a loaded PCP, so operating the cocking handle when game was in sight and close was just unacceptably loud. Just me. It might work for others..but that's one of the reasons I sold mine.
When I had a Lelya2.0, I found it nearly impossible to quietly close and lock the cocking handle. I would pull the trigger and the handle would go SPROING..and bounce to the open position. In a hunting situation this was just game spooking.

I find chambering pellets okay but when I tried any slugs it was excess force needed to close the bolt. The gun wasn't designed for shooting slugs and doesn't have enough Leverage to push the projectile forward into the rifling. If the barrel had more free float space before the rifling it would make chambering slugs easier but then again it would be worse for pellets. I agree the loud cycling would scare game.

Hi , maybe the gun is not design to shoot slugs it terms of side cocking arms and magazine ,yet it has a LW barrel with no choke , currently i'm using it for slugs 21 grains HN 0.218 with no resestant what so ever after replacing the arms with a side lever, the speed is 950 fps and its accurate as laiser ( 1 inch at 100 Yards).

Whoa that sure doesn't look like an Edgun R5M cocking system I have ever seen. Serious machine work involved.
