Very interesting-thanks for this information as I have just begun shooting mine and do notice some breech leakage. How difficult would it be to increase the groove diameter for a slightly larger breech o-ring?

Not something I would attempt since I can't make a new part... If you have a lathe and know how to use it, probably very easily done.

Speaking of parts, has anyone found someone that sells parts for these? O rings are easy, I have yet to find anyone that sells parts though.

If I'm not mistaken, I read a thread somewhere on the CP1 pistol where the person said he was able to order parts directly from Snow Peak. If that is the case, it may be possible to get parts for the PP700 from Snow Peak. The cost and shipping were very reasonable. Is there a diagram of the PP700 available that has the parts listed in English. If not I may be able to get the Chinese one translated.

I posted the diagram in a pdf attachment earlier in the thread on page 11, reply #201

Thanks for posting that one Donny. It has the part reference number and the part number, which is very useful. I downloaded it as soon as I saw it. I was wondering if there was one like that with the name of each part in English. Thank you also for posting the O-ring sizes. Another helpful list that I saved.

Does 9 fpe sound about right for the .177 PP700 ? I finally got to run a few 7g RWS hobby over the chrony.. 745-750 seemed pretty much the avg. I was just wondering if anybody else had an unmodded .177
to compare to. 660 fps for 10.5 g piranhas.

Mitchell, my .177 was running 9fpe out of the box as well.

I'd like to get my .177 up to 12 ft lbs for Field Target shooting. Still gotta go through the trigger first.

I think mine was 9 or 10 fpe bone stock. Now I have it tuned to 14-15fpe(depending on pellet) for critters.

That should be pretty easy to accomplish with just a hammer spring adjustment, and possibly a little fine tuning of the regulator adjustment.

I was considering bringing mine down a bit. I can shoot this in the house but it still pops a bit even with the LDC. I was thinking 5-6fpe would be a bit more quiet and efficient. Dave told me if the LDC was not quite enough to drill a few holes in the REAR of the LDC. Anybody try this ? I have seen some LDC's have breather vents/holes on the muzzle-most end. He explained why holes in the rear we desired. I forgot the reason.

Breaking down my pistol this afternoon. Pulled the small grub screw out to remove the valve. Park tool can only spin the valve maybe 60 degrees counterclockwise and that's it. Lefty loosy, righty tighty. Right?

Got the air tube off, and I'd like to look at the regulator. Does the adjustment screw hold it onto the breech block?

Yep, I don't think I had 60 degrees. I didn't have enough adjustment to get a good seal, made a shim for the breech plug and got it down to a tiny puff of a leak. yes lefty loosy, righty tighty.

No, the reg adjustment cup is in the reg body. Remove the 4, 2.5mm allen key screws that hold the reg to the breech. The reg is double O ring sealed so it takes a little tug to get it out of the breech.

FYI, the air tube is three pieces, threaded fill end, tube threaded at both ends and the threaded end that threads into the tube and over the end of the regulator. in other words, if you don't see the reg screws you need to remove the piece that's covering them

So how do I get the valve out without breaking something?

Sorry, I miss read your post. I thought you could not tighten it enough....

No idea why you can't loosen the valve more than a few degrees.

shultz · « **Reply #273 on:** May 27, 2017, 11:06:23 PM »

Just had a thought, How did you degas?

If you fired it empty then air trapped between the regulator and valve can't be the problem.

I had my regulator fail to open after a couple of shots. So, I degased by very slowly loosening the air tube. Once the air was out of the tube, I started to pull the regulator, it moved with the screws a bit... didn't feel right so I stopped. Decided to push on the hammer and open the valve, a blast of air came out! Maybe trapped air is causing your valve to bind.

TleVta · « **Reply #274 on:** May 27, 2017, 11:11:47 PM »

No trapped air. I was dry firing it yesterday after I did the trigger sear polish.

Rallyshark · « **Reply #275 on:** May 28, 2017, 12:22:41 AM »

I wonder if there is a burr in there catching it, or an o-ring folding? That is odd, it should just screw out. I used needle nose pliers in the holes to screw mine out(with the hammer removed). I'm sure you already tried, but try tightening it back some and then loosening a few times, and maybe that will get it out.

TleVta · « **Reply #276 on:** May 28, 2017, 12:25:45 AM »

I know when Motorhead tore his apart last year, the cheap O-ring for the valve was in pieces afterwards. The O-ring may be jamming the threads somehow. I just don't want to wear out the holes with the tool trying to get it out.

This is me every time I get a new gun,lol! My poor Bullboss was completely apart within hours of me getting it from PA

Hey Donny,

Don't mean to go off subject, do you have any posted info on what you did to your Bullboss to push 50+fpe??? Can you please shoot me a link or info?

I would be very very grateful ....

Keep shooting ....

Wayne52 · « **Reply #278 on:** May 28, 2017, 03:29:06 AM »

I ended up getting me a case for mine

It's a US Peacekeeper P30024, it was less than $30 shipped

SilentMatt · « **Reply #279 on:** May 28, 2017, 02:36:11 PM »

Just ordered one yesterday from Mrodair, really wish I would have read this entire thread beforehand... Probably would've gone with Krale.
Looking forward to playing around with it in the little spare time I have. Figure it'll make a great night rat gun.
