Service and parts are so important on these imported guns. Anytime I have had an issue Evengy takes care of it right away.

I know because I have 2 and have issues with both. There is no warranty, once you buy one your on your own.

I think your tool you made is exactly what Edgun uses, I can see the “ring” impression around the hole on mine. Thanks again great information.

Not sure how many the origional owner shot. I have the ball and spring, no problem finding replacements.

I really just wanted to know How the bearing stays in the hole before attempting a repair. I bought the Lelya used from Keyser Soze, so I assume the warranty is no good for me.

There must be a tapered sleeve, you cant put a spring and ball in a hole and expect it to stay without a taper or restriction. I think I’m screwed on fixing this. It still locks up with one ball bearing, but it will fail eventually too. I sent Ed an email hopefully he will answer.

I took a magnet and worked over my shooting bench area and found the tiny spring and ball bearing. Now I just need someone to tell me how it stays in the hole. I havent tore the gun completely down yet, but I’ m sure it is installed from the top. Has any Lelya owners tore theirs down and seen a set screw under the spring and ball bearing

But now I think the bearing is some how pressed in from the top. If this is the case, the hole the bearing sets in had to become enlarged, so a new ball bearing will fall out too. I think because of the way you have to “snap”…Read more

the magazine has got a blanking plug in the last/empty position.

try the nail polish/paint mod on the magazine so it does not happen again

Looking at the close up of the picture I can see the head of the screws are different sized. I noticed this when I removed them, but the picture really shows the difference. I thinking the difference in head size my have pot some torque or stress on the weakest point of the rod causing it to snap.
