The Edgun Leshiy is a remarkable little rifle, one with simplicity, elegance, and a real purity of purpose. Perhaps this is why it has found such a devout following? Unfortunately, the factory shroud core is not very well optimized, and so this little gremlin still has considerable bark. Huge thank you to AGN user Custard for loaning us his Leshiy for this project!

Enter our design. This is a drop-in replacement for the factory Leshiy shroud core which considerably improves sound attenuation. Multiple damping materials, and a long series of subtle tweaks resulted in a design that, while it may look simple, is anything but. The backbone of the core is made from 20% carbon fiber reinforced polyamide, selected for its exceptional strength, ability to withstand impact, and solvent resistance. The bore is precision reamed as is the barrel-alignment section to ensure accuracy. Standard bore diameter is 7.6mm, which is intended for .177, .22, and .25 cal. The design works both in the 250mm and the 350mm w/ extension configurations, just like the factory core. The latter, having much greater reflex volume, obviously further improves sound attenuation. Included with each core is an additional foam insert meant to be slipped into the reflex volume of the shroud when the 350mm barrel is being used.

Installation is simple. CONFIRM YOUR RIFLE IS CLEAR, SAFED, AND STOCK FOLDED. Remove your factory core. Slide the replacement core into place, rotating slightly to confirm alignment with the barrel, and press fully rearward. Check for alignment down the bore FROM THE REAR OF THE RIFLE. Install the o-ring around the muzzle on the tapered surface of the core, and add a drop of silicone oil to it to minimize friction. Screw the factory retaining cap back on gently, only finger tight is required, and then back off to relieve torque on the core and barrel. Check alignment one final time, and you’re good to go. If you are using the 350mm bbl w/ extension, the aluminum tube/spacer is required. Slide it into the shroud, and then slide the additional purple foam insert down around the barrel all the way to the back of the shroud. (it acts as a damper to further reduce sound signature) The rear of the core slips over the barrel and seats on the edge of the aluminum tube/spacer just below the barrel. The rest of the installation process is the same.

Note this core is approximately 2.5 millimeters longer than the factory core. This was done intentionally to accommodate varying lengths of aluminum spacer for the 350mm BBL/extended shroud configuration. The test sample’s aluminum spacer was shorter than the shroud extender, preventing the factory core from being correctly clamped by the cap and allowing it to rattle. An added benefit to this is that it creates a measurable improvement in sound attenuation.

Please note, while we try to keep cores in stock for immediate shipment, some may be built to order, a process which takes two weeks. All designs are considered experimental.
