Some Leshiy Classic Love - Share Some Pics of Yours

[GeneT]

Love mine. No real interest in the Leshiy 2. The Leshiy 2 just seems to throw out the simplicity that makes the original so special. 

I have wondered about that. I, too, am in love with the simple excellence of the Leshiy, but I'm still anxiously awaiting the '2. Will I like it? I'm sure I will. Will I love it as much as Leshiy 1? That remains to be seen. L1 is so elegant that it will be hard to match, but L2 may be as elegant in the world of repeaters. Can't wait to find out!

Here is mine setup for night mode with one of my L3 PVS-14s behind the NX8 1-8 (using a Sabre Tactical air cylinder rail / clamp to mount it via thr Picatinny J-arm). Thermal spotter mounted on the side with the little Luna ELIR-3 laser light saber up front

My son and I rarely shoot it with the bipod. We like the lightweight of the platform with a red dot riding on top.

My two babies, nothing fancy, like to keep them light

Front, .22 cal, Edgun reg. at 130 Bar, HST 25, JSB Exact 1.03 gram at 260 m/sec
Holosun HS510C Circle Dot Open Reflex Sight
Weight total 1679 gram

Back, .177 cal, Edgun reg. at 130 Bar, HST 15, JSB Exact 0,547 gram at 295 m/sec

Beautiful!, clean and tactical. Nice grips

DAAAAAYYYMMMN some serious technology BRAH!

The original had a critter sleeping with its friend, hehe. I like to Keep It Simple Sam! I love this gun; the cool factor is too much. Simple, accurate, and packable without complexity. I upgraded from my old Sheridan Blue Streak with the bluing rubbed from pumping it for 55 years to a Leishy. I couldn’t be happier. Some day I will add a L2 when all of the waiting nonsense is over.

Mine is 0.22,
250mm barrel,
FPS:811

I rotate the spring 33 times counterclockwise,
One grid represents one time,
I think my recoil is very high and accuracy is very low. I don't know how many bar I set,don't know how to measure
The main question, does anyone know how much the spring needs to be adjusted?

Holy crap - 33 clicks on the hammer spring? The most I've set mine at was 28 clicks with a 130 bar reg to get the 44.75 gr .30 pellets up to 60fpe. And that's a pretty rough kick when it fires. I think at 33 clicks you are not getting an efficient shot and using more air than needed. 

The general tuning for the Leshiy HS goes like this. Turn the hammer spring all the way clockwise until you reach the soft end just past the final click. Assuming you are using the stock reg it is set at 130 bar. So I would start with a pellet with the HS at 0 and take a chrono. Then start bumping it up by 2-3 click CCW and taking a chrono reading each time. When the spread between each shot starts getting smaller, drop down to taking a chrono for each click CCW. What will likely happen around click 18-24 is you'll find the velocity drops a tiny bit - you are just over the ideal efficiency curve. Starting clicking back CW one click at a time until you are 5% lower than your max fps. This should give you a very efficient shot string and help with the accuracy.

I don’t know how many bar I set, so I have to rotate it counterclockwise
1/4
Adjust the regulator slowly.
It is best to adjust the spring to 18~24?
Or if anyone has other opinions, you can discuss it

You need to back off the spring all the way first. The Edguns hammer spring adjustments are backwards to normal ones meaning CCW creates more tension while CW backs the tension off.

Mine is a .25 with a custom barrel from Ernest Rowe....very accurate. I have it shooting JSB Hades 26.5 @ 500fps with an Akula moderator for quiet backyard pesting. I love it’s simplicity and the ability to transport it inconspicuously in a laptop case.

Caliber: 0.22 15.89gr
250mm barrel
FPS: 820
The spring turns 33 times counterclockwise

I tested Still about the same, Can tell me your spring How much to adjust?In addition,
If the picture below is stuck and cannot be turned, it will cause the regulator
Does it affect?In the red circle

Just so you know and maybe you're aware of it. If you are, my bad. The set screw to get to the regulator adjustment is in reverse threads meaning to loosen it, you have to turn it CW. To tighten it, you turn CCW. Hope that helps.

Understand, i know

It is stuck and can hardly rotate left and right. Its thread is broken and must be rotated with brute force. It is difficult to rotate,only fine adjustment,I want to know if this will affect the regulator?Will it affect the venting?

Which are you saying is broken - the Hammer Spring setting screw or the regulator screw? I would contact Brian at EdGun West and see if he can help you get things back to stock setting on the reg and fix any issues with the hammer spring.

Mine is a .25 with a custom barrel from Ernest Rowe.

Jamdon can we get some details on the custom barrel? Thanks.

Ernest machined a FX .25 smooth twist barrel for this Leshiy. It’s 250mm long. It also came with a 250mm .22 barrel (I’ve never used it) and his trigger modification. All internals are stock.

Leshiy Classic .177 + Dedal Stalker
10 shot from 34 meter / 37 yards
Edgun reg. 130 Bar, HST 15
JSB Exact 0.547 gram / 8.44 grain unsorted from tin

I love this thing...and the other one...

Love the leshiy classic! Probably the next airgun in my safe! Thanks for the photos super cool!

The top adjuster screw, thank you
