I too tried the derlin, initially it held one pump but 2nd or 3rd day I found it had no pressure and wasn't sure I'd remembered to pump it.
Now it sometimes takes a few strokes to start building up. If I'm shooting repetitively it seems we'll behaved. I'm leaving it with 5 pumps and will see if it it holds that.
I do wonder if the increased pressure is bad for it?

It holds at 5 pumps. Likes Benjamin hollow points and copperhead BBs.
Leaves me one I recently picked up in parts, broken plastic transfer port thingy at breach (where on screw holds it), missing butstock nut, band screw & nut, and nubs that hold barrel by hammer spring are all but gone in the plastic receiver halves. I'm debating if it's worth the effort.
I read your postings on your 760 work and followed the links, wow, nice work indeed. I especially like the shimming to shorten sear engagement and the trigger stop (I've never tried one with that feature). Great work indeed!

If it's metal receiver you should have better luck than the box of parts gun I referred to from Ebay
Next one I do I'll have a proper roll punch instead of pin punch to use on it.
