PP700 adventure started(Artemis PP700s-a)

[SILENT SQUIRREL]

Well just got a message back from Aceros de Hispania ( the vendor) about my pistol, it's lost in Customs, they had seized it and will not release it, so they are issuing me a refund.
they tried very hard to get it to me, but it was a losing battle.

Was that seized by US Customs or in Spain on the way out?
Good to hear the Aceros de Hispania is proving a refund

FWIW
Wes at Airgunarcheryfun.ca has PP750's about to get on a boat from China, & is taking pre-orders
Here is his latest post about it

He too is a reliable seller in my experience

You can’t go wrong buying from Wes. I’ve done quite a bit of business with him and every order has gone very smoothly.

Kevin I am glad you are getting a refund!!!

Just got it through PP, the Vendor went through a lot of horse doo doo to try and get the gun to me, but it was to no Avail, oh well, I have a Marauder pistol to use that works great, learned lesson, make sure the vendor can ship with Customs ok....... before buying....

I have a problem with my Gen 1 Airmax Precision Pistol (PP700). My gun will not accept air from the fill probe as long as the reservoir is attached to the pistol. It was working fine one day and not working the next time I was going to shoot it. After I insert the fill probe and open the tank valve the fill probe is pushed back about 1/8” and air then leaks at the probe. The probe is working, the front tube assembly is working, and air is released into the tube when the tube is off the pistol. But when I reattach the tube assembly it will not accept air.
Any suggestions.
Thanks,

Probably the o-ring inside the cylinder is damaged.  It's just a screw holding an o-ring right in the center of the cylinder behind where the probe goes into the cylinder.  That's my guess.

David,

the odd thing in your case is that it works when the airtube is not attached to the pistol.... 🤔 Weird.

Have you done anything to the gun between the last time it worked and the first time it did not work anymore? 



🔶 I have a similar but slightly different case.
My gun* has the same air intake "valve" as the PP700S-A — the junky lil'o-ring around a screw....

And somehow I can't fill the gun:
The pressure builds in the airhose of my FX 4-stage handpump, and no soft nor violently hard pumping gets air into the tube....

I have had this problem off and on, and turning the fillprobe slighly, or re-inserting it, worked usually after several attempts. Not now...! 😣

Any advice appreciated!

Matthias


*The gun is a Skyhawk (≈P15).

Inspect or replace the first oring on your fill probe. If you don’t have new orings, swap positions.

AEA uses that style of check. Oring on screw. Your screw sounds like it went in so far the fill probe could communicate with it. Loosen that screw a couple turns. See if that helps. Also, make sure the threads of screw are clean, because the air has to go through the threads.

Dave

[DavidEnoch]

Thanks for the suggestions.  I have changed the o-ring under the screw and the o-rings on the probe.  I will back out that screw and see if that helps.
One more question, is there a list of o-rings for the pistol?

Happy shooting!! 😊

Here's a PDF with the exploded view for the PP700S-A. It has all of the o-ring sizes listed. Note that the o-ring sizes show the O.D. not the I.D. so when ordering o-rings you will need to subtract twice the cross section to get the I.D.
90 Durometer o-rings are recommended for most HPA applications.

Well, well, the story ends well -- hundreds of dollars later, that is.... 

I saved up money and bought a CF airtank.
Now the gun fills just fine.
Because the high-dollar FX 4-Stage HAND PUMP is broken...!

I'm late to the party, still reading my way through this thread and very much enjoying my 2 week old PP700S-A.
Maybe not much of a contribution but, this morning I found that the Buck Rail handqaurd for my Notos also fits the PP700 air cylinder.

That looks really good ! It compliments it well.

Thanks for sharing. 👍🏼 Looks really good.
I added it to my master list of PP700 info.

 🔶 If you're tyring to go long range, or deliver a lot of ooomph to your target, try some NSA 17.5gr slugs, diameter .217"  (5.51mm).


Cheers, I'm sure you will enjoy your PP700 tremendously. 😊

That's great to know, Brian!  And belated Welcome to the GTA!

I'll be taking my PP700 apart soon (maybe today?) for some general service; Among the bad ideas I have is testing it with some NSA slugs- as Matthias points out (except mine is .177, not .22)   While it's a laser with several pellets and "good enough" with more than a dozen more, I've started to really enjoy the crosswind-resistance even slower slugs maintain over pellets.  However, my barrel is not properly indexed and the grip itself is showing some signs of degrading.  IIRC, somebody here on the GTA has 3D-printed grips so I need to start digging.

If you do find the grips, can you post it here?  Or in the 3D gate?  Have a PP700SA, got it this year from Krale.  Have both barrels, think I got the last 0.177 barrel that Wes had.
