Leshiy barrel clamp bolts
Ok, every barrel mounted in Leshiy will have a tight spot from the clamps. Just try to push a pellet through the barrel mounted in Leshiy. With 25cm barrel it is not a big deal because the clamping force creates an artificial choke but with longer barrels that choke is not located at the muzzle.
Wingman, do you think that a perfect barrel is even throughout the whole length and it is just a little bit tighter at the muzzle?

Ed clearly states in his video that all Leshiy calibers barrels are “slightly” choked …
So your 20 cal is 250mm or 350mm?
It sounds strange for a choke to be created by clamping….
I ll check my barrels and let you know
In order to create a permanent choke, yes, the force must be significant. However, wthin the material plasticity boundaries it is enough to use two screws in Leshiy to create a temporary choke which disappears when you loose the screws. Please just push a pellet and you will see. Even Ed mentioned that there is no use choking 25cm barrel because the choking effect will be induced by the clamping force.
C’mon guys, just push a pellet through your 6.35 35cm barrels and it will become obvious to you.
It literally takes a hydraulic press to choke barrels. The only thing I could think of it changing is the resonance of the barrel which i don’t know if it has any affect on pcp’s like it supposedly does on Powder burners. I am Ocd and use torque wrenches on everything and usually tighten those two bolts to 40 inch pounds and no issues.
Just try to push a pellet through a clamped barrel. Ed observed that in Matador R2.5 and he changed the way of barrel mounting in R3. I would say that you do not need much force to choke a barrel, especially in 6.35 where barrel walls are thin.
Are you able to provide the value of torque in Nm that should be used to tighten the bolts? Too much and you make a choke, too little and you shoot your barrel away and destroy the silencer.
I’ve just tried to loosen the bolts and the barrel is moving. There is no way to keep it in position without choking effect.
Man, bolt-choking barrel… now THAT is tight! Surely waaaay to tight. It takes A LOT of force to choke a barrel.
You are clearly over tightening your leshiy barrel bolts.
There is no way they should be tightened so much that you form a choke mid barrel.
Your barrel description is as they should be yes.

Yeah, just check it. The barrel must be firmly mounted in Leshiy and you need to push a pellet with a cleaning rod. Then you can do the same after barrel dismounting. I am sure you will feel the difference, especially in 6.35. In 25cm barrels this is not a big deal but in 35cm ones it is simply not perfect.
