Hey mughram long time ……..
I have many muti-shots to shoot from and I like my new Lelya 20 cal to stay a single loader.
On the blowback/puff did you check to see if you had a sharp inlet on the probe main entry ?
When cocking it was damaging/cutting the pellet probe O-ring(s) before pulling the trigger and causing it to leak with blowback.
If someone finds the pellet probe O-ring inside of the back of the receiver bottom, I’d suspect this cause even more so.
I roundout/over the sharp edges and polished it to shine, and no more blowback/puff ever since !

I’ve been using an old Crosman pellet pouch. Also just got my .20cal. pellets and I have a HUMA reg for the Lelya arriving Monday !!! https://image.ibb.co/mDS8qw/8_CCEF8_A2_8_C97_411_F_8_FB9_AF20_CE96_EF46.jpg https://image.ibb.co/cyphHb/D35_C6_A7_F_E304_479_E_AA18_35_A26_F51_C96_E.jpg. https://image.ibb.co/fYsPVw/A68_CAA4_C_8100_4_DCC_BEF5_C9_D14567576_C.jpg https://image.ibb.co/cujGcb/FE829_A8_F_AF20_4_EBC_94_A8_A3_B0_AFECE594.jpg
I’ve been meaning to get one of those Wilkins pellet pouches, they seem like a quality piece.
…… getting ready my Lelya for some Walkabout pesting at the farm soon.
Just in from Mike Wilkins at http://www.wilkinspouches.com/ or http://www.wilkinspouchesusa.com/
I bought it direct from Mike/UK and it was about 10 bucks cheaper …… there’s just something about that Medium Dark-Green one.
The quality of workmanship within material is superbly executed throughout, it feeeeeels just awesome too !!
Open it, grab a pellet and close it just by feel …….

:8: I’ll be looking forward for that Sir !

Yes, the little EdGun Lelya is the easiest peasy among all my Pups to rebuild/work on.
Not so much parts to look at, so little air to fill … …. so small, the smallest and lightest BP I have at 6 lbs, 1.8 oz scoped with the new Bugbuster 3-12×32.
The only CAUTION I have so far, is that tiny little spring that engages the anti-blowback lever.
When removing the pellet bolt, the lever and this spring needs to be held down.
I release the lever after placing the probe assembly into a plastic bag to catch it as it ejects this tiny little freaking spring.
Length of
Width of
Spring thickness with 5 coils.
The closest replacement I could find so far is.
Anyone post a link if you find one that’s closer to 7mm L x 3.7mm OD x .55mm wire thickness.

Greg I appreciate all the chrony data and thanks for digging into her and helping me prepare for my new to me Leyla.20cal. I’ll have to go ahead a purchase my o-ring rebuild kit now. I’ll also post my chrony results and pictures ASAP.
Easy peasy for a newbie user paying a couple of cents for that little Lelya.
.
Last weeks chrony before the pellet probe O-ring issue ……… pardon the shot count.
I didn’t like the numbers that I was seeing, so I shot it down to 70 bar.
Sorry, I didn’t take any pictures of the rebuild thinking there’s enough how to’s as is.
Regulator not regulating as it should, so I rebuilt it and changed out all the O-rings that I encountered.
Shot down to 70 bar I drained AT thought the front gauge slowly.
Removed the AT without dismantling the entire gun, just by turning it out from the action.
I kept all the Belleville washer in the same order as they came, it’s just an old habit or something ?
Cleaned and lubed it lightly with Molykote 55, reassembled and ….. easy peasy …. walla !
…… hum, I may need to turn in the HST a 1/2 turn ?

Like I said above, I’ve watch and read darn all there is.
I respect Ernest and his videos, I also watched his one on the Blowback adjustment, but the above is BEST IMHO.
…. I’m not yet ready for the Huma reg upgrade, maybe later ?

…… so if you’re getting cut pellet probe O-ring(s) like this it could mean it’s occurring before the Blowback issue arises and thereafter blowback will start to occur. It’s hard to see what is happening with the slide on.
When cocking the slide back if you don’t see the pellet probe in the breech there is a likelihood that it’s being cut before fully closing the slide forwards.
Bolt location for the above pic with pellet probe full back into slide when cocked.
When closing the slide the O-ring(s) is being cut by this bolt entry point on my Lelya, it had a very sharp chamfer on it.
I round out this entry hole edges to a diameter of the .5mm around and buff it with my dremel to a mirror shine and lube.
Sorry no pics ……..
I now can close the slide forward anyway, slow or fast slap with no blowback/puff of air at all !
Problem solve no issues after some 500 pellets shot so far.
I have not found any info on this even on the Russian forum.
Those with problematic Lelya with unresolved Blowback issues should take out their Lelya from their closet to try and take a looks see.
~ Greg, hope this can help some Lelya owner(s) …….. even .. just one.
Greg, I watched all of Ernest Rowe’s and Ed’s Leyla videos and am confident in servicing this rifle, in fact it’s a very simple design and part of why I’m purchasing it. I owned a Matador Short and now have a better understanding of how the EDgun products function, so this is no issue in my eyes. Also curious as to wether HUMA makes a reg to replace the factory one in the off chance that I can achieve more efficiency out of the air cylinder?

My Lelya .20cal. is due to arrive Monday!!! Along with the Huma reg I ordered from EdGunWest.Com. What’s the pellet probe O-ring size for the .20cal?
