Leshiy Huma Reg and XL plenum Leshiy Classic

[Rwjeter]

I ordered a new assembly. Hoping I’ll have it before this weekend. Be nice to try it out for Father’s Day.

Glad you found one I looked and it looked like it wasn’t available

EdGun.shop had the complete assembly for $387. That’s the only way I could find it. I decided to go ahead while I could still get it somewhere.

Interesting problem. Sorry to hear about it. I saw those leshiy on aoa. I would be reluctant to purchase second hand from them after hearing this.

Ok now I’ll say it. One of the reasons I sold my classic is because of parts starting to dry up and needless to say pricey as F

Yeah, I knew I was taking a gamble on this particular one. You could see in the pictures AOA posted that it had definitely been well used. They didn’t try to hide it. They also tested it, sent me their shot readings, and it was holding air when I received it. But with it having all the barrels, I decided to take a chance knowing I’d probably have a few odds and ends to do. The o-rings needing to be replaced probably should have been the only thing to get it going. But the brass cup in the forward plug bugged the mess out of me. I hate when screws are messed up from a screwdriver. Maybe an electrician thing. I dunno. So, I wanted it replaced. And it went down from there.

Yeah, I’m hoping once I get it squared, I’ll just be replacing O-rings in the future. We shall see.

Finally received shipping on my rear plug assembly. I was getting a bit nervous. Should be in Wednesday. Fingers crossed.

What are you going to do with the bad section?

I have a large bridgeport mill that I could use to get that plug out. Then maybe able to get the rest of the plug out. That way you would have a spare unit if needed.

That would be fantastic. As of now, I have no plans other than keep it for spare parts.

Back up and running! Test fired it no problem. Seems to be holding pressure. Didn’t fill it all the way to 300 bar. My pony bottle was low and I didn’t feel like getting the compressor and waiting. Been holding steady at ~209 bar for 30 minutes. So if it is leaking any, it’s minuscule.

You would know if it’s leaking pretty quick

Well, my AF EscapeSS only leaks like 80-100psi a day. So I’ve had some very slow leaks in the past.

Nothing a little soapy water won’t find. That sounds like the fill valve o ring

Yeah, I need to take the time and try to find it one day.

Sorry for all your trouble, but I’m glad it’s come together nicely. I just picked up another classic myself. Even with parts rarity, it’s hard to find another gun as simple and rugged as the classic.

I had a great idea! I disassembled the tube and separated the front plug assembly. Sprayed penetrating lubricant on the brass fitting and allowed it time to soak in…. Then, I took a very small drill bit and drilled in on either side of the center hole for the valve. This made a new, deeper slot I could get a better grip in. I put a brand new flathead bit in my Milwaukee impact and then!!!!!!!!

I proceeded to use the impact to no avail and only bent the new bit…..

To say I’m frustrated is an understatement.

Wow, really bent that hardened screwdriver bit!
