So I've been thinking about this for a few weeks now since the release of the Leshiy 2. The original Leshiy came out IIRC sometime in 2016. A few revisions were made such as the polymer stock, new regulator and stippled pistol grip. Is 4 years too soon to come out with a totally new platform? Don't get me wrong. I'm all in and I'm definitely going to purchase one. I received my new Leshiy .22 last year in October 2019 and to this day, I'm still trying different tunes with the factory regulator and 250mm barrel. It's a fun little gun to tinker with.
I was going to place an order for a 350mm barrel and shroud in both .22 and .25cal. I was also looking at picking up an Akula moderator but now I'm thinking I should put things on hold until the Leshiy 2's release. I have not heard a definite announcement yet from Ed if he plans to discontinue the original Leshiy. If it is going to be discontinued, then parts are also not going to be available much longer.
So do you guys think that maybe a gen.3 would have been better to release? What upgrades from the factory would you have liked to see? I for one would like to have seen a revised stock with a longer heel. The factory pistol grip also needs to be at least 1/2 inch longer. Maybe a piggy back air tank from the factory would have also been cool. Just some random thoughts. I'm glad that I was able to pick an original Leshiy but I'm still looking forward to the release of the Leshiy 2.
I still dig this little airgun...
