If you read this thread from the first page you will see that these are great little pistols but like many break barrel ( Gamo ) or low end PCP rifles it requires TLC to reach full potential. Good luck and enjoy it for what it is a tinkerer's dream come true.

Don, you are correct. This thread wants me to dust mine off and go out to play.

Couple of things I noticed right off. Barrel shroud very loose. Checked the muzzle fitting on the end of the barrel very loose. I can spin it off with my fingers. The other thing I noticed no safety? My $30 P17 has safety. I will completely go thru this before shooting it to make sure it is safe. Must of been built on a Monday or Friday.

Take a look under the front sight. On the ones I have been selling from Snowpeak there is a tension grub screw underneath the front sight.
This is a newer feature, so may or may not be on yours, but if there you may just need to tighten it. Here is a photo from a member on the Canadian forum.

I just Installed the new Breach Block / Pellet tray from MonsterMaxx on This little add on is a must have mod nicely finished wit excellent fit and finish. Now loading pellets into the breach is a simple process without the fumbling around trying to line up the pellet with my fat fingers and poor eye sight

Glad you like it. Does make things easier doesn't it?

The one I got from mrodair was totally loose so I put my setscrew under the rear sight. Works perfectly. I couldn't get mine apart so I drilled it assembled. Drill into it until you hit steel and use a bottoming tap to tap the hole. Setscrew and all fixed. Put the sight back on and the mod is totally hidden.

I was hoping not to have to tear it apart.

You will have to take it apart. Maybe not today or next week, but you will. It’s no big deal.

Backyard Shootr · « **Reply #1525 on:** April 26, 2019, 01:56:04 PM »

Well I figured if I have to take it apart to clean everything up and make sure everything is tight then I should replace all the O-rings that you guy's say are junk. Then I should change the regulator to while I'm at it. So I ordered new o-rings and a new Huma regulator. Not sure if there's anything else but I will keep reading this thread over and over to make sure I didn't miss anything.

Nope, you should be good to go. Once you get your reg setting and hammer spring adjustment to jive, you can fine tune the trigger to work with where you have the hammer spring set. Then find a pellet it likes.

After reading all 77 pages of the “PP700 adventure started(Artemis PP700s-a)” thread, I made my decision to buy the Artemis PP700s-a. Thanks Rallyshark for starting the thread and everybody who contributed. Just received my Artemis PP700s-a in .22 from Krale. Ordered Monday night and received today. Great buying experience. I decided on Krale based on various inputs on GTA. I mounted a TRUGLO Red-Dot 2x42mm sight on it and shot about 60 pellets (10 to sight in and the rest for fun). Initial impressions are it is loud, fairly accurate, the trigger is better than expected, the shroud is a bit loose and the pistol is a lot of fun. Based on inputs from other posters I also bought a DonnyFL LDC adapter. I have 2 of DonnyFL’s LDC’s for other airguns so my issue with how loud it is will be taken care of in the near future. Also ordered a JSAR Pellet Load Breech Block and PP700 Carbon Tensioned Barrel Kit for it. Hopefully the LDC adapter and barrel kit will solve the loose shroud issue. I bought the Carbon Tensioned Barrel Kit because I like the look of a carbon round shroud and it may lighten the barrel end of the pistol. I plan to chronograph and do some initial accuracy testing this weekend.

I just bought one too from Krale. Mine arrived in two days. It's amazing how quick they are.

Anyone measured the loudness of this pistol on his phone app (db meter)?
Would like to know how loud it actually is. There is loud and LOUD.

Pelletjunkie · « **Reply #1531 on:** April 27, 2019, 09:38:34 PM »

It depends on how it’s tuned. If you are shooting the .177 under 500fps, it’s not that loud. The full power models have a good crack. It’s loud but definitely not LOUD. All of my PCP guns including my Prod, when shot with a bare barrel, are way louder than my PP700.

Well all the goodies have been ordered for the PP-700 and just playing the waiting came now.

A cheap pistol doesn't end up being so cheap after all.

It is the Crosman 13xx story all over again. I'm not biting, I have 2 13xx and know the moders mark up on a cheap gun LOL $:-\$

It approaches PROD/1720T price with all the add-ons

Sfttailrdr46 · « **Reply #1538 on:** April 28, 2019, 02:30:18 PM »

It is not about the cost it is about what we can do with it and the potential

I keep telling myself it's all part of the fun.
