    Leshiy

    Love my own MK1 Leshiy (no longer available), have got all calibers now and a .30 one too.
    That big caliber is only because it is possible to make one, no idea about accuraty yet, haven't got time to test that one properly.
    Have got the silencer extension tube too,it allows for a longer barrel without loosing the silencer.

    One thing to mention is, the new Leshiy (MK2) is slightly different to the first batch they made and comes without the hard plastic case ....

    Unhappy Edgun Leshiy (BAR)

    Just cancelled my Edgun Leshiy order from BAR

    Reason for this: when I order my leshiy I wanted two barrels, in the advert and talking to the chap on the phone there was a velocity adjuster so all good to have multiple barrels.


    Now the advert blurb stats (Uk legal. Anti tamper fitted) and to make it worse the guys at BAR is they are tamping the velocity adjuster and fitting anti tamper WHAT A JOKE....

    Very disappointed in BAR

    When I order an item I expect to get what I ordered; not fidded with second rate piece of garbage.....

    I was looking forward in getting my .177 / .22cal Edgun Leshiy. I bought a Drago backpack and a hard case already to go, but it no good if they fiddle with it so I can’t make UK legal when switching barrels…

    What was the feedback from BAR? There must be a legality behind retrofitting AT?

    Very good compact gun but far to over priced there will be some legal issues as to why the anti tamper is there but this surly this should be done over in the factory and not a shop selling them? it should be down to the user if they switch barrels to make sure its running within the law

    AT isn't a requirement, just an option that responsible makers take to prevent potential issues. Steyr don't have them so you can tune your gun to your pellet, and at these prices I think it's beyond your usual scrote.
    Better to admit you walked through the wrong door than spend your life in the wrong room

    BAR stated they are fitting a AT to cover there RFD

    They are at the high price point for two reasons: 1/ Compact size form factor 2/ Versatile so you can swap and barrel length and change calibre.

    If they take away the fact you can’t adjust power are they going to half the price point? Don’t think that will happen. Versatile gun this is not making this a pointless purchase, form my point of view….

    UK legal Leshiy without anti tamper fitted

    The Edgun Leshiy sub 12 ftlbs is available from ARI at the Dase website in Finland and according to the EDGUN site they are the distributors for EDGUN in the UK. I live in France where the limit without FAC is 20 joules so I ordered a Leshiy with a range of barrels. ARI fitted the transfer port "throttle" and adjusted the regulator to give sub 12 ftlbs and supplies a certificate with chrono information to back it up. He does not fit a tamper proof lock on the trigger spring adjuster allowing the owner to adjust the power output to match the calibre and barrel length. This is not a cheap option however it does allow a multi calibre two length barrel compact air rifle to be ordered. There are many indepth YouTube videos from Edgun wrt the Leshiy including the sub 12ftlb fix.
    To take the Leshiy one step futher HUMA-AIR do a Leshiy sub 12ftlb regulator kit which appears to make the Leshiy very efficient and stable, it does require you to cut the valve down in size, so if you are going to go down this path order a spare when you order the gun.
    I have had mine for 4 days having waited since April, I have fitted it in a customised Peli Storm case with Kaizen Foam inserts and of course I fitted it with the 350mm .25 barrel, because I can and adjusted it to a fraction under 20 joules.
    I entend to do a lot more with this setup and I will keep you all posted
