Leshiy 2 Bottle Issues

[Joeboo4236]

Gents,
I am usually just a lurker on here but could use some help. I have had this L2 bottle on and haven't used the gun in a while. When I went to shoot it again, I noticed the bottle wan't filling all the way so I degassed it to try again and noticed it was completely locked up. I tried permatex and it loosed it up a bit, but now it's almost as if it is "locked" because it just swivels a bit. I know to keep the fill plug in, but this is when it is stuck. IF I take the plug out it just spins, as expected.

I spoke to EGW and they said I need to physically cut the bottle off and buy a new bottle and fille transfer port. Not that I don't value that opinion, but I was hoping to see if there were any other options as I am thinking there must be a solution. Was told it was calcified water but not sure. Any help to remove this bottle is appreciated. Thanks

For what they cost they need to pay you to ship it to them for exchange for a good one ..lol.

Ya, you do that and they go .. " user abuse, user abuse ...too bad so sad ..sorry ..

I agree. I only use an air compressor and have kept it inside at room temps. I thought that answer was crazy. Does anyone have a solution as to how to get the bottle off?>

just Got rid of all my 2s because of stupid answers like that.

Sounds familiar lol

Outside of put the block in a vice the use a strap wrench on the tube/ bottle to get a good twist to snap the threads loose to unscrew


Something like this to give you grip and leverage and no real damage caused by the tool ..

I thought this was a joke. The stories I hear about Edgun West are disturbing. It seems like their default answer is always "user error".

I'd buy a cheap strap wrench, lock the buttstock in a vice and go to town.

no joke brother I’ve experienced first hand. I had posted about it here but the 5.0 POPO got to it. Yes strap wrench should work.

i have spent a lot of money with EGW but as other have said with the disappointing response you get. i have been spending my money with edgun shop in spain. cheaper prices and even faster shipping to the states in 3 days

Thanks so much guys - will try the strap wrench. Yeah, it's disappointing to get that kind of crappy answer and feedback.

The strap wrench looks like a nice solution. I'd suggest not just put a lot of pressure on it, but to tap the wrench with a hammer. The same way an impact drill works better with less force than a normal drill.
I hope it works for you!
