Ed - This is a much better pic of the bolt I made.I cut off a piece of allen hex that fit the grub screw.For the ball I used the ball off of a bolt assembly I had laying around for years.I drilled a hole in the ball then slid it on the allen wrench. Did some polishing on ball and buff the allen.Super Glued it, for now. Used it for around 40-50 shots. It's staying put.If it stays I'll leave it. If not I'll use some stronger glue. Much easier to use that trap door now.

It will be viewed many more times down the road I'm sure, and someone will likely come up with some more info or questions too. I haven't seen anyone make more power out of that 750 than the 700. Given the simplicity of use and all around design, I think there will likely always be a place for the 700 too What was the power record string for modded PP700?I have made 31.8FPE for 19 shots in .22 18.13gr with PP750... not like it's a contest or anything

Here is chrono of today:
You just had to do that to me, didn't ya, LOL! I don't have the numbers, because the group was shut down, but there was a guy with a pp700 tuned to 30-35 fpe, and he had a 300cc bottle on it. Granted, I haven't seen that long of a string at that power from an un-bottled pp700 though. I feel I could get pretty close to that power with a .22, but the most I could get out of my .177 was around 25fpe I think. That was also before I had some heavier lead to sling. I must have missed your thread on that one, can you give us a link? I'd like to see what all you did! You know how I like power

You know how I like power 25 fpe from .177 in a pistol is very big, most I was able to make with pp750 in .177 was 20 FPE. Just hard to keep that little pellet in the 8" barrel long enough to pick up juice, much easier in .22... especially adding a 19" barrel... which completely destroyed the pistol/carbine feel. The .22 PP750 is much better with 11.5" barrel, power/efficiency boost in the same shroud length and no LDC adapter.The builds:https://www.gatewaytoairguns.org/GTA/index.php?topic=170095.msg155908683#msg155908683
Quote from: KnifeMaker on October 09, 2020, 11:13:20 AMYes, the o rings on the reg will seal the tube just fine. KnifeKnife - Looks like this threat is dying a slow death :-(The emphasis seems to have shifted to the 750.Hope all is well.

thanks Guy! they put me on heavy doses of insulin. Man I hate needles!!! Ithink I will go out and shoot the 700 now. Been a long time since I posted pic's so here's an oldie. LOL!!!
I also added a pellet ramp to ease the loading so flip open the breech and slide in the .22 pellet.
I mounted a red dot sight on mine and one of Rocker1's CF hushers on the front quiet and accurate. At 25 yards about 2 inches of hold under it is dead nuts accurate and with the red dot quick rodent acquisition. I also added a pellet ramp to ease the loading so flip open the breech and slide in the .22 pellet yes single shot but it is accueate enough that I don't have to rush the follow up pellet loading.

I'd love to obtain a pellet ramp — but the $35 at JSARS plus shipping — I just couldn't justify it. (I tried! Believe me, I really tried, I had it in my shopping cart at least on three different occasions!) MonsterMax charged only $25 for it, but added 14 (fourteen!) dollars of shipping. So, if any of you has a suggestion, or is willing to make a 3D add-on that I can glue onto the breech loading block, I'd be very interested to buy it. 😄 Matthias

How do you seat the pellet with that ramp? I wouldn't be able to even get my little finger in there...
