EDgun Lelya 2.0 Disassembly Question

[Ezana4CE]

I have a tube mounted bipod bracket that I’d like to remove and today I discovered that it has a stripped hex head screw holding on on one side. I can’t remove the screw so I’d like to remove the air tube in order to remove this contraption from my rifle.


I found this video from EDgun west.

and was able to follow it up until the 2:04 mark. At this point his hands are in the way and I can’t see what’s going on after loosening up the 4mm screw below the low pressure side of the regulator.

He referred to something as “that” by saying “as soon as it’s loose you’re gonna push ‘that’ down” and later he referred to “the sled.” I don’t know what “that” he is referring to. When I viewed my Lelya 2.0 schematic i don’t see any part labeled “the sled” so I’m lost at this point. Seems simple enough if you’ve done this before. Anyone know what I should be doing here?

Hey try the video series from the man himself I believe he explains

Loosen the screw. Then push the screw itself down, then keep loosening till it stops. The screw will stay in this location, and you can wiggle to tube out. It does not unscrew or turn, but you may have to wiggle it up and down as you pull it out.

Tried it. My tube won’t budge. He’s pushing on something that sounds like it’s rocking or clicking and I don’t know what he is pressing down on.

I watched the reservoir removal on both videos and my reservoir should come out fairly easy. Ed’s reservoir seems to slide out a lot easier than Brian’s. Mine won’t budge and I cannot unscrew the moderator. I think the issue is the tube clamp mounted pic rail piece is taking up the narrow space between the moderator and the end of the reservoir and the fill assembly (inside of the red circle).

I can see that it has rubbed paint off of the fill assembly. I bought it used and haven’t taken the mount or reservoir off of the rifle before. Earlier when I attempted to take the mount off I discover on of the screws is stripped. I keep running into stripped screws. Smh. This is an issue with buying used airguns. Figuring out how to remove this crap ought to be fun.

@PasadenaMike Thank you. That is the clearest instructional video of the the three in regards to the reservoir removal step. Now I see how the screw can be pushed down slightly once I start to turn it counter clockwise. Even after doing that, my reservoir is in there pretty good. I did remember to cock it and put the safety one.

 

[PasadenaMike]

No worries. I’ve never taken mine apart but I bet there’s o rings capturing it so check the break down on the Edgun west website

 

[PasadenaMike]

No o ring but maybe this helps

 

[Ezana4CE]

@PasadenaMike Thank you sir. I got it! And I was able to remove the bipod adapter. I had to unscrew the moderator first and use the camo tape to keep it from scraping the adapter as best I could. Next I was able to remove the reservoir fairly easily.

Then I bent the adapter until it cleared the tube.

If you were close I’d buy you a beer.

 

[PasadenaMike]

Awesome!!

Came across this other video on how to remove the necessary parts to clean the barrel on a Lelya 2.0.

Tonight I went back into the gun to see about rebuilding my reg. I shot 4 strings yesterday and the velocity started off low at 504 fps and ended at 847 fps which is about the range it was tuned to shoot. I shot from 185 bar down to 120. The reg is set for around 115-120 so the velocity increased to the desired range when the reservoir’s pressure approached then regulators set pressure.

After removing the reservoir, I removed the reg and discovered I don’t have the correct sized o-rings to rebuild the reg. Then I remembered that I have a brand new Huma reg that I’d bought as a back up. I got it and attempted to install it when I noticed that the regulator would not screw into the plenum. I didn’t want to force it but it doesn’t seem to fit.

Now I have to contact Huma Air to see what needs to be done to correct this issue.

Anyhow, after getting into this gun 2-4 times over the past 24 hours, I’ve learned a little something. The part that Brian was instructing viewers to push down on to release the reservoir is called the “wedge.” It’s listed as the wedge in the schematic as well. After removing it and looking at it. I can see how it got its name.

Update:
After contacting Huma Air about my reg/plenum issue pictured in the above post, here is their response:

“…I thought we had all of them pinned down. But unfortunately yours has sneaked past.
We have had a batch of plenums where the tip of the lathe bit broke and threads are undersized.”

Thankfully Huma Air has taken care of me in the past. Soon I should be receiving a plenum that fits.

One of those "stuff happens" situations... love that they just owned it & went about fixing it for those affected.

I can appreciate that as well. Marc in Tech Support has always been pretty straight forward with me as far as I can tell.

Yesterday I rebuilt the reg using Edgun West’s tutorial video. I didn’t change the o-ring beneath the adjustment screw. The video left that step out. Today my replacement plenum arrived from Huma Air. I shot the gun across a chronograph and it’s behaving as it’s should. Put a few mags through her to get some lead into the barrel since I cleaned it. Once I was satisfied with my accuracy at using my scope’s existing settings i took her hunting. I’m now eating the squirrel that I killed with my Lelya earlier in the evening.

Nothin like a happy ending enjoy that squirrel
