Hello AGN,
I've been meaning to post this for awhile now but work keeps getting in the way. Like pretty much all of us Leshiy 2 owners, I was getting super annoyed with having to replace the big o-rings on my L2 magazine holders every couple of months. The Leshiy 2 is a phenomenal PCP but I think the magazine holders are one of its weak points. If you have a bottle mounted in the rear, you have to mount the holders on the upper airtube, which means they can in the way and/or you end up pressing your cheek against the o-rings when you're shooting. So I moved mine to the front carbon fiber handguard and had to get slightly larger o-rings to allow me to mount them there. But no matter where you mount them, the o-rings snap pretty regularly and I even had one break in the field, causing me to frantically double back searching for the magazine/holder that fell to the ground and would have otherwise been lost!
Then I saw that member @Jack.K was making magnetic mag holders that installed on the scope rail, which looked great but I use a Bobro one piece mount on my L2 AND wanted to fit three extra magazines there so I asked Jack if he could come up with a holder that would fit my setup. I took a couple of pics and measurements, sent them to Jack and a couple of days later, he sent me what I thought would be a prototype that would take a couple of revisions to get the fit correct. Turns out, he somehow got the fit perfect . . . on the first try! I was able to install it right under the mount and the mags fit perfectly under the scope. More importantly, they are now out of the way and held very firmly in place with some small but very strong magnets. Mags sit flush against the action and look fantastic! Best of all, no more need to constantly replace o-rings!
Here's what my setup looked like before with the o-rings:
Here is the mag holder installed under the Bobro scope mount:
And here are the magazines installed:
So if you're tired of fidgeting with your factory mag holders and those brittle o-rings, send Jack.K a P/M here and he can hook you up with a much better solution for your L2 mags!
