So I've question for other leshiy 2 owners past and present. Which reg is the better e.a.r or the Hume air tuning reg or a completely different one.

Mine has the original in cylinder and works perfectly well.
Shoots consistently and accurately.
I did get the Huma to replace the EAR but I've never fitted it.
From what I gather the Huma reg can creep worse than the original - setup dependent.
There are so many ways to set up the L2 that it is difficult to pinpoint any particular regulator being better than another.

I’ve an early one with the original edgun reg and a later version with the EAR never had any problems at all with either
But to prefer the ability to adjust externally on the latter

Exactly what is happening with my huma reg creeping quite a bit. It was already fitted by the previous owner but he did give me the EAR aswell toying with the idea of refitting it .

I've been playing around with mine to find a set up that suits me, I have the ear reg which certainly makes life easier I think.
It was set to around 83bar (when I brought it), but I found it tended to creep up a couple of bar, I've increased this to more like 88bar earlier this week, and I'm still considering pushing it up a little further.
The higher pressure does reduce creep, not sure if you could reach a point where you eliminate it all together, while at the same time keeping it sub 12, this is the joys of a gun, that like most, isn't designed for a sub 12 market.
It's a work in progress for me, I think the higher reg pressure is the better way to tune it personally. Doesn't seem to effect anything negatively, if it starts to effect the indexing or anything I'd stop and go back down, don't want to get into a mess tweaking what isn't broken just want to minimise any creep.
On a similar note, has anyone with the ear reg reduced the plenum size, ie sleeved it, is this worth doing ?
I've seen Sub12Airgunners talk about this on his you tube channel but this was on the original reg and I can't see that he ever done a follow up to it when he'd completed it.

Mine is the original in cylinder regulator and I have sleeved the volume down to around 8cc.
I am considering reducing the volume until there is insuffiicent air to fire the pellet consistently and index the magazine.
However, it is presently shooting consistently and accurately.
I used the dimensions from another thrread on here but may make a sleeved version ala Sub12airgunners to change the volume more easily.

How do you find the reduced plenum size working though ?
Does it make any difference to regulator creep or recovery time ?
I've read, watched, listened to some of the theory on smaller plenums on sub12 but haven't really found anyone showing it talking about the real world results.
Sorry if this is taking the thread off on a tangent from the original question, but plenum size is tied into the same thing, consistency.

No problems I'm as interested in the answers as you.
Only had mine for about 4 months so interested in any useful information regarding any think to do with L2 in general

The rifle is more consistent and the regulator recovery time improved.
I suspect mine still creeps because i have it set at 65bar rather than the 'accepted' minimum of 80bar.
Currently 2m jets with 2.5mm puck.
A string I chrono'd earlier this May.
JSB 15.89gn from the tin.
1. 11.87 580.2
2. 11.19 563.3
3. 11.13 561.9
4. 11.33 566.7
5. 11.12 566.6
6. 11.12 566.6
7. 11.07 560.2
8. 11.08 560.4
High 1st shot - probably creep.
However, providing my calulation is correct
Average 8 shots 565.11
ES 20
ES% 3.54
Average 7 shots 562.96
ES 5.5
ES% 1.15
SD - 8shots 6.24
SD - 7shots 2.05

Same here, not had it very long and looking to learn what I can.No problems I'm as interested in the answers as you.
Thanks for the reply.
I have to say for me, I'm certainly the weakest link, so I'm not talking about consistency of accuracy, I'm quite happy with what the gun is capable of. And nothing I've tweaked so far has made that any better or worse, I wasn't expecting it to and that's not my objective. Strangely enough, I don't even think the higher first shot really seems to effect the accuracy, though I'm only really shooting at 25 yards so it would probably be more noticeable further out. Same with reg recovery, the plenum pressure certainly drops, probably 10-15 bar when rapid firing, but I don't feel that actually effects accuracy, not at 25 yards, I'm still the weakest link.
I'd like to get a more consistent power level, and minimise that higher first shot, I've certainly seen my first shot some 0.3 - 0.4ftlb higher than the rest and while that is still under for me, it makes it sail way too close to the limit for my liking.
You've now made me want to try the reduced plenum more than I already did, lol.

The plenum reducer really is simple if you have a lathe.
I used these dimensions as a start point after measuring my own cylinder to confirm the diameter.
A piece of 30mm delrin/acetal/POM etc. later and you get this. Diameter did match my cylinder so I turned to that and length of 60mm.
The internal dimensions on mine are slightly different to give my calculated capacity but you get the idea.
The pictures are from a previous thread lying around somewhere on this forum.

Unfortunately no, I don't have a lathe, fortunately not to difficult to get things made for you on here, lol.
You are using the original plenum tube and reg though, I'm not sure if the ear reg tube is the same ? There are obviously some differences, not sure if the internal measurements for a sleeve would be the same.
I took some rough measurements of mine when a had a looksee over my reg, and I think it is very similar, certainly diameter is the same, it's not so easy to measure the length though, I didn't spend too much time on this, just a quick measure, I thought mine was a bit shorter.
I would have to have a proper measure if I'm going to do this.
