Since I joined the PP700W ownership this is quite the thread! Mine is .177 and still stock. Haven't run it over a chrony yet but the only thing I can contribute is mine shoots JSB 10.3 grain and the 8 grain Polymags with serious precision.

Mine in .22 is serious fun with the Rocker 1 LCD and a cheap red dot sight

Don, the .22 is pretty enticing, but the one I have is from forum member gendoc as I didn't want to buy from Mrodair again. Another thread already covers that story.

When I first bought my Prod my intentions were using it as a pistol, well it ended up being a small carbine instead because it's just not my idea of a pistol. When I seen Mike@Mrodair had some PP700SA's coming on a slow boat I bought one, it was a long wait but it finally got here. I tweeked the regulator a little but that's about it, it's delivering about 16fpe. I even got a ground hog with it last summer.

Pretty impressive Wayne. I took off early today and ran mine over the crony for a few shots.

The Polymags (8 grain) are 670 FPS
The JSB (10.3 grain) are 620 FPS

Thats pretty good. It does appear off the few shots I did that the FPS is not super tight. I'll do a full crony run in the warmer months.

New Guided Breech Blocks:

These breech blocks open up and have a slot to guide the pellet into the chamber.

I made a dozen prototypes of the them. 6 of each for the .177 and .22. They are available to those of you in the US, international interest please wait for production parts.

I have integrated adjustable stops on both the open and closed positions for that perfect alignment.
They are aircraft Aluminum and anodized black.

Here’s a pic of my .177 and .22, the .177 is the Artemis PP700S-A and the .22 is Mrodair’s Precision pistol. Fits both perfectly.

Contact me via PM for more info.

This thread is killing me! I bought a used Pp700w 2 weeks ago. It was shipped to me in under a week but the seller forgot to include the fill probe. So while I waited and still waiting for it, I have read these 60+ pages all the way through. Twice! What really not worthy is that I had 4 days off work to play with it. Any one have an extra fill probe?

Oh man, that is torture! Maybe somebody is close that can let you borrow one....

bubba zanetti · « **Reply #1269 on:** February 13, 2018, 10:55:09 AM »

Bummer indeed

I do not have an extra and was glad to see there is one aftermarket if needed or can be ordered from Julie at SPA.

If you're struggling I have a spare new one...I'm in the UK, but would be happy to help you out.

Thank you. I am still waiting on mine to show up. I will give it a couple more days. I will let you know if I need yours. Might be nice to have a spare anyways. I will PM you. Thanks Darrell

I use the Varmint's fill probe in both the rifle and my PP600. The pistol's probe is longer- a bit too long for the rifle... When I wrap this work trip up, I'll get back home,dust off the box-o-parts, and look. If yours still is a no-show, lemme know and I'll get it out in the mail.

DLP · « **Reply #1273 on:** February 15, 2018, 10:47:57 PM »

I just got an update from the US Post Office. The probe is on its way. Got held up in California for 10 days? It’s now in Mi. Should be here Saturday.

I do appreciate the offers you all have given. Got to love this site!

Thanks. Darrell

Not here yet. Its Sunday and tomorrow is a holiday. This stinks. Seems I am not the only one having issues with USPS.

I started combing this thread from the beginning, I made it to Pg 19... I'll go through the rest if I have to, but...

I have a Gen2 (black grip, non-round barrel shroud) .22 PP700 I haven't torn into yet. I have a few questions before I do:

- I'd like to install a HuMa reg- what pressure should I request if I'm looking for around 9-10 fpe? 12 fpe? I don't want to go above 12 fpe... This is for close range pesting, and I DO have to worry about over-penetration, with regard to damage to what's behind the target. i.e. roof shingles, wood around the roof of a house/building. Max range around 20 yards.

- I snagged the list of o-rings from the first couple of pages:

1.5mm X 4mm Buna-N 70
1.5mm X 5mm Buna-N 70
1.5mm X 8mm Buna-N 70
1.5mm X 9mm Buna-N 70
1.5mm X 11mm Buna-N 70
1.5mm X 12.5mm Buna-N 70
1.5mm X 13mm Buna-N 70
3mm X 21mm Buna-N 70

Is this list/sizes still accurate?
Do we know what size o-ring will be good to use for the "3mm x 21mm" size? I remember people finding a hard time finding that particular size.
Which one of the above sizes is the barrel breech (or chamber) o-ring?
Speaking of o-rings, how is the quality of o-rings from the o-ring store online? Has anyone found a source for higher quality o-rings?

- Has anyone found a better way to hold the barrel than drilling/tapping a 3mm hole for a grub screw? I'd rather not do that, if at all possible.

I think that about covers my questions/concerns... TIA y'all!!

Hi.

I would start at 120 bar, and see what you achieve with your particular gun and pellet choice.

If you look at a posting I made a while ago https://www.gatewaytoairguns.org/GTA/index.php?topic=139000.msg1414294#msg1414294 you will see that I achieved about 9.5 ft-lb ME with my Huma at 120 bar. It is a good starting point for you, I think.

I have always bought all my O-Rings at the O-Ring Store, and been very happy.

I believe that the barrel breech o-ring is the 1.5mm x 9mm. But many people prefer the 90 durometer hardness.

Have fun. These guns are so great, and the Huma makes them even better.

Many thanks!! I can't wait to tear into it, I've been wanting to since I got it. Just waiting on a few parts!

Frank_Zuccarini · « **Reply #1278 on:** March 06, 2018, 07:49:25 PM »

I forgot to mention that I think that some people have hand-crafted a wooden plug to jam into the breech end, allowing you to keep it from spinning. I'm uncertain about this.

Frank

YEMX · « **Reply #1279 on:** March 06, 2018, 08:41:46 PM »

I'll give that a try- wood shouldn't hurt the barrel in any way... I would really prefer not to drill and tap the side of my action, if I can avoid it. I'm hoping I don't have to take the pistol apart too many times!
