PP700 adventure started(Artemis PP700s-a)

If Wes is out of stock there’s always http://www.canadashootingsupply.ca/artemis-pp700s-a-pcp-pistol-22-cal.html
Equally good seller , good service and fast shipping . Not sure if he would modify the pistol to full power. Not that it’s difficult to do anyway if you have drill bits available .

Hi guys! Raman is a great guy at Canadashootingsupply.ca, and hopefully has some in stock.
I'm out of stock for awhile now. This practice of sending pistols to the USA shooting under 500fps, but with the transfer port enlarged was done with good intentions and a desire to help US customers while keeping things legal in Canada. I have come to the conclusion it's something that I should not have done. Unfortunately that means I won't be sending any that way anymore. I reccomend modifying yourself, or buying from Krale-schietsport.nl once they've restocked. Their pistols come in high power.
Thanks guys,
Wes

Upping the regulator has been known to flatten the factory bellvilles, leading to an unstable tune.
Be ready to replace washers.

If you have a stable reg, tread lightly...

The issue was before any adjustments. Velocity really fell off. I adjusted the ret last night, and got the power back. Woo-Hoo!!!


Nothing you did wrong what so ever Mr Wes!


Last thing I did was shoot the chrony in the shop. Oh Carp!

[KnifeMaker]

Clockwise to increase.  The nut is cup-shaped and adds preload to the Belleville stack.

Contrasting that against regulators which have a movable valve seat, in which case counterclockwise increases the setpoint by requiring the piston to travel further before reaching the seat.

Thanks Jason!

Ouch about the chrony! I've done that myself before. Glad you got the power back!

Turns out the chrony wasn't damaged. it was the 7000k overhead led lighting. Took it out side this morning, and it wa spot on again. Woo-Hoo!


good thing as HobbyMan shipped the parts to install the .224 barrel in the RS II, and I have a spare .224 to install int the 700!


Still looking for a stainless probe for the 700.

My probe is getting chewed up too.

  TRRobb.com has them in stainless from UK. 17.99. Can't find shipping cost though. GRRRRR!!!

Knife,
I checked a couple of months ago, and it was 15% shipping. (I don't remember how I found out, I think I put something in the cart and proceeded to checkout).

I’m not sure about which probe you guys are talking about . Any links ?

[KnifeMaker]

Denis;


It is the fill probe for the artemis pp700. It is made of brass, and it is starting to wear where the locking balls contact it from the foster female fitting on the bottles hose.


Man, I need a lathe! GRRRR!

Michael I bought one from T Robb soon after I bought mine, the brass was just too soft on my original.  The brass one that came with my Airmax Dominator is still holding up good but it's gotta be a harder alloy because that one takes 250 bar to fill it.  It's the same diameter but the one for the dominator is too short for the P700SA.

[KnifeMaker]

Wayne, do you remember what they charged for shipping? I'm leary that it is gonna cost a little too much. 


Mike

[BernieO]

I just ordered one and the total including shipping is $27.06 USD.  Hopefully it fits, as my brass one is not working too well .

SMK Artemis Pre-Charge target pistol Stainless Steel Filler Probe:  £17.95 GBP + £3.59 GBP shipping = £21.54 GBP ($27.06 USD).

[JungleShooter]

Does this fill probe also fit the Artemis P15 / Skyhawk?

Matthias

[Hobbyman2007]

That makes perfect sense . Not sure what I was thinking . Just checked the brass probe that came with mine and there are no signs of wear whatsoever. Must have gotten lucky .

[KnifeMaker]

Next month I will order one. I just spent my play money on sizers for the .224 bullets.

This whole airgun thing is “getting” out of hand . Lol I just spent more money on another project gun . I just couldn’t help myself . Here’s a list of my ongoing projects .
1- Winchester tuning/ porting and valve work
2- Impact valve / plenum work
3- K550 efficiency/ denounce devise
4- BT65 better flowing valve project
5- QB78 high powered .177 “bullet shooter
6- multiple bullet molds to test
7- refurbish latest purchase
8- air speed probe replacement
Not to mention my tank needs a hydro test and my shoebox has got to be close to needing a rebuild soon . About the only things I don’t need to touch are the two PP700SA pistols , they’re shooting just right .

[Pelletjunkie]

I agree. I finally had to take a step back. Today I spent the morning shooting apples with my .270 at 500yrds. My shoulder is a little beat up. I switched to airguns years ago because my real gun projects and spending was getting out of hand. Now it’s worse with airguns because they are more convenient. All testing can be done in your house or back yard. Can’t win.
