Leshiy #88
After a bit of tuning, here are some numbers I’m happy with…. For now. The gun is very well built and very simple to work on. I’ve had this puppy completely apart with the exception of the magnet portion on the cylinder. :suprisedn:
65 Degrees F
Yes that is important when your working next to a wood stove that heats up the area fast. The pressure will change in this small cylinder pretty quick. :winkn:

From the Leshiy manual:
The Pre-charged Pneumatic Airgun Leshiy is designed to be stored for up to a twelve-month period of non-use. If you plan on storing the gun longer than 12 months, special care should be taken to relax the springs with the humidity and temperature kept at normal levels.
Another life ago I used to be an industrial valve repairman. I would set pressure relief valves for oil refineries and pipelines. I learned that a compressed spring does not wear out. What wears a spring out is the act of decompression. Over time a spring violently releasing its tension will cause spring wear. The pressure relief valves that were in the most use required spring replacement more often than the secondary check valves that sat under consent tension.
Thanks guys,
I just want/need to see if the Lesh will fit into my application before getting one ……. still just thinking.

I store mine folded so I’ll tell you soon 😉
Belive that test was for 2 weeks. I wonder what happens to the spring in 2 months
There is a video by Ed on YT with a test if keeping the gun folded damages the spring. The result is promising. I also asked Ed if the spring can be damaged and he replied that if the spring works in its working window (not too tight) it should last long. What is more the springs are cheap.
Holdin it in the field in the un-folded action ready would be nice.
Thing is where I live the critters get spooked very easily the less movement on my part the better my kill rate.
Hum, so it’s okay to have it cock when it’s folded (won’t it fatigue the hammer spring ?), so using the safety for long periods in the field would be a useful option.
Also ……. any owners have the fixed triggers pull weight ?
~ Thanks ~ Greg
It is recommended to keep it folded actually…
Hey X cool Leshiy …….
Questions,
How hard is it to decock the gun ?
Is it possible or too hard to re-cock it by manually/hand pushing the rod forward instead of fold cocking or is it too hard to do ?
When in the folded position for long periods does Ed recommend it to be decock ?
thanks ~ Greg
Agreed… Especially with the camera setup. However, It’s what I need to do right now to capture some hunting footage. I wish I had a better setup! At least a better camera that recorded high speed in HD.. :sadn:
Sweet :8: looks a bit odd with that big scope though
I posted this over in the hunting section. Here is a link to it, if your interested.

Very good pictures and nice short dialog!
Worth checking out…

Thanks Hoot! :8:

Greg,
It’s easy…. all you do is fold the gun enough to put pressure on the cocking arm, Pull the trigger and ride it back. I do it all the time. I prefer to keep it uncocked, even in the field sometimes. Think of it like a condor or talon. :8:
