My Airmax/Artemis P15

[PushingPELLETS]

Hey guys I don't own a p15 but I have owned various spa guns and been fairly happy I read up on this thread about the gun not being able to hit 900fps due to a smaller plenum than needed to due so now I had a thought it looks like the regulator is the same unit as in the p10 which has a plenum which threads into the valve couldn't that be used to "stack" the plenums before regulator and in theory give you the space needed for 900+ fps if I remember correctly it was something like 10 bucks from spa and another foreign source I'm not sure if this will work or be of any value but hopefully it may lead you in a useable direction as I am also looking into a p15 in .25 with a barrel swap to hit 900+fps and that was what I was going to look into after getting the gun

Good luck and I'll be checking if there are any updates and added thoughts about the rifle

Looking at the p15 and p10 diagrams it looks like the plenum for the p10 (part number 24) should fit on the end of the p15 valve and plenum and screw the reg onto that doubling the useable regged air again I don't have a p15 but i believe they share tube sizes if I remember reading that correctly somewhere so should work out in theory anyway

Good luck

27 mm air tube on the p15.

the plenum volume is 15 cc on my P-15. Need more volume

[miksatx]

Ok more volume hmmmmm, the dominator has a bigger tank. So wonder how easy resizing the barrel bands might be. Should be a piece of cake to make a adapter to fit it to the breech.

[jarmstrong]

I'm thinking plenum volume for more energy. I have an  extra plenum that I am looking at getting machined so I can double the plenum size

I'm fine with mine shooting 800 my shooting distances only 20 yrds. Very limited. Here's a shot of where most squirrel meet with a fatal fall from the pecan tree.

[jarmstrong]

Hey Miksatx, I know you have a tack driver at 20 yd,    but how does it do at 40 or 50 yd with that Green mountain barrel?

I wish I could tell you jarmstrong. as of now no place to go close to shoot that far. i guess I could get hold monkeysdad1969 send it to him for a prairie dog hunt.
I would imagine it shoots similar to short tube marauder .25.

[jarmstrong]

I'm sure it shoots great, just wanted to let you brag a bit
I thought with that forest in your photo, that you might have room to open her up a bit. But like my boss used to say,( don't be thinking when you're not equipped to do so)

I still haven’t shot my .22 P-15 much at long distances, or even tried more than one pellet, but it put two more squirrels in the freezer yesterday.  Took a friend squirrel hunting for his first time today. He didn’t  grow up in the woods hunting like I did.   He wanted to carry the P15 since he has shot it quite a bit in the last week, I took my .25 Impact. We only saw two squirrels because of the wind and cold front moving in, but one was taken with the FX.

 Still need to adjust the trigger pull weight on my P-15 and try some more pellets to see which it prefers, but I’m very happy with it so far.  I did order a bunch of spare parts from Julie at SPA, and I have extra sear parts in that order that I can regrind and polish.  With the days getting shorter it may take me a while to get I fully tuned up, but when I do I will report in.

I've had my p15 in 25 cal for about a month now. I ordered a baffle kit from air-fective (not cheap) also installed a 5" ldc to keep it super back yard friendly. It shots 25gr jsb at 820 fps fairly accurate at 30 yards 1/2 " groups . I have taken 2 possum 5 squirrel a few rats and 1 coon.really like the way it handle. Just need to adjust the trigger a little. Also had to loctited the pin on the side lever, hadn't moved since
.

Would you know the stock db level on this bullpup?  I'm hearing mixed opinions on how backyard friendly this actually is ? Thanks

[Thiel]

Its not backyard friendly. you have to modify the baffels in the shroud. thats the only thing what did the chinese wrong on this gun.
there are adapters available for 1/2"unf threat to add a additional silencer / ldc if necessary.

[MikeH]

Mr rifle in .22 IS back yard friendly, but only when the baffles are seated correctly against the air stripper.  I think I discussed this in more detail in an earlier post.

Still very much enjoying the rifle.  Have not had time to tune on the trigger yet.  Accuracy and shot count are great and it has taken many squirrels.

[stony30]

Thanks for the replies.  I have a .22 on the way . .22 was out of stock. .25 instead !!

What 5" ldc did you add ??

[stony30]

Does the P15 use the same shroud and end cap specs as the p10 and p12 ?

[miksatx]

The air max Dominator ldc end cap is the same as the p15 end cap. I notice that the end cap on the dominator has a oring between the baffles and end cap. No such oring is in place on my old p15 shroud and end cap.

[stony30]

I appreciate the response but that wasn't my question.

[miksatx]

I didn't quote you either.
