PP700's Getting Ready For This Weekend ; -)

[wll2506]

Every thing (including PCP's) made to hold pressure will eventually leak....pretty much the same for stuff made to hold a vacuum. Nature/entropy just works against an imbalance.


It all pretty much comes down the the simple o-ring.  Kind of like tires on a car; they aren't going to last forever, but  the right tire/alignementwill last longer than crappy tires. We can also consider that the PCP was assembed at the same time, so the o-rings are all of about the same age, so it's likely best to change them ALL when one croaks.


There are only PCP's that have leaked and PCP's that have yet not leaked.

LOL, LOL ...Very true !

Checked her when I got home at 7 ish and she is down from yesterdays 7 ish filling 300psi, so air is coming out of somewhere. I will pump her up in the am and take her out for some fun shooting and see how she does.

Looking forward to it for sure .

Loaded up the air chamber, and sighted in the S-A for her first outing. Used the Reflex sight at home and dialed her in at 15 yards.

Went out to the first place and chronographed her ...was getting 755+fps, when I finally realized I was using CPHP's  ;- (  Then shot her using CPH (10.5gr) and she was getting around 675 fps at 200+ bar and was pretty steady at that Velocity .. I stopped shooting at about 17 shots.

This Chili can I shot at 28 long paces, and every pellet zipped right through ... there are 12 hits but there were 5 misses too as she was shooting a lot higher then I thought.




After shooting at this spot I went to spot #2 with the hope of seeing a Starling or two ... well no starlings but there were a few feral pigeons ..... I will just say there is one less feral pigeon in the world today, about a 35 yard shot !

I will be going out again tomorrow, guns have been pumped up and I'm checking on the S-A for the slow leak ... I'm hoping that with usage she will settle in.

Did not shoot the "W" today as I wanted to get a good feel for the S-A.   

BTW: For me, these guns are not backyard friendly at all without a LDC. I had to order another end cap for my DonnyFL Tanto as I'm a lousy machinist and I really ruined that cap ....There goes $35.00 plus shipping down the drain !!!!

This little gun is a real beauty !!

wll

Side Bar:  Tanto end cap came in today ... WOW that was fast !!!! Will use it tomorrow.

She is a little beastie, I mean beauty... mine has exceeded expectations, when it starts to leak, I’ll deal with it. Otherwise a really good value, a big thanks to all who took the time to post about this little gem.

That’s great William!

My Tanto and adapter delivered today!  I’m going to eat some frozen pizzas, cooked of course, and then head out to see about getting the barrel end cap off and installing the new adapter and hush hush. 

I feel like I just joined some sort of club by buying this pistol.  He he!  🤪🤩😎

[Luis Leon]

@Brett, you have joined the “peoplepleasing700singleaction” club. Mine is begging to go to the dairy tonight, she wants to taste some rats. If the rain holds off, I’m going to indulge the little beastie.

Congrats on joining the club :-)   These little guns are fun.

Oh no, another 30-50 ratus will bite the dust tonight :-)

Good luck buddy :-)

Thanks guys!

Tanto makes a world of difference in quietness.  Still has a pop to it though.  I expected much less.  Not bad, just less.  I have a SUMO on a 30 fpe .22 FX Streamline and it’s amazingly quiet.  Really only the action can be heard, it’s that good. 

What kind of accuracy are you guys getting on paper, what distance and what pellet? 

I just tried JSB 8.4 and 7.3.  The 7.3 are more accurate @ 25yds.  They are shooting an average of 680 fps.  I filled up and I have shot 40 shots so far.  I think it will be close to 60 shots before it drops into the yellow on the gauge.

Best wishes to both of you in your shooting adventures this weekend and Happy Easter! 

[bReTt]

That’s great!

Because I ran across your posts, I just ordered one from Krale.  Mine is .177.  I’m looking forward to getting it and putting it together as a carbine rifle.

What/where do I need for an adapter to thread on a moderator? 

Thanks!

DonnyFl for the adapter...

Here is a picture of my rig...

Luis, what caliber is yours? 

I just ordered the threaded adapter and a Tanto from DonnyFL today.  I also ordered a Simmons scope, rings and an Atlas clone bipod.  Now I need to find some sort of way to attach the bipod to the gun.  Once i receive the pistol, I’ll have to start figuring out how to make a stock for it and how to attach it.  I’m not looking for high power in the gun, more for shot count.  I’m curious to see what it does out of the box.

Vash/Lee sells  alum Pica/Weaver rails for the PP700.

Looks similar to this one:

Thanks Richard for the info!

I'm just starting to test mine in earnest, my "W" version is getting 650fps, my "S-A" version is in the 675 range.

I'm using a reflex sight and my hits are in the dot around 25 yds ... not the most accurate sighting mechanism in the world, but for my use it is fine.

I just posted a question about speed with the 10.5gr CPH's I'm using.

Are you going to use your PP700 for just for pesting or pesting and general playing around ... and how many good shots are you looking for ?

I’m just a backyard plinker.  I shoot paper, and reactive targets.  I like precision though.  I don’t need power.  I’m thinking this pistol would make a great pester but I don’t have any pest problems, well maybe I should knock out some of the rabbits running around but I would use my Streamline for that most likely.  I wish that I had somewhere to go shoot rats 🐀!  This thing would be fantastic for that.  I envy Luis in that respect. 

Update for ya though...  I went out and shot the rest of the air in the tank.  It hit the yellow on the gauge at 70 shots and at 80 I turned the chrony back on.  Shot 80 was 600 fps and it dropped off each shot after that and I saw the POI dropping after shot 80 to 85.  Then I stopped.  The guage is clearly in the yellow.

 For what I do, the power and shot count is awesome!  I shot paper, steel spinners and plastic dinosaurs 🦕 🦖.

[Pelletjunkie]

70 shots at 600fps is a nicely balanced tune. If you don’t try to push these guns, they are a plinkers dream. When you lean on them, they still don’t do too bad. Dealing with hammer fall can be the downfall of any gun. On this gun, I hardly notice it.

This is where it’s at so far.  Next steps are a rail for a bipod on the tube and a stock to turn it into a carbine rifle.

That is looking real nice, when you get through with her, I bet that gun will drive tacks !!

I contacted Donny for the adapter and he refereed me to someone else. I email him and never heard back.
On would think that as popular as these are there would be more sources to get them.
I do understand they are available from someone in England which is probably a two week wait +-.

Reach out to Rocker1 and see if he is still making the Adaptor for the PP700. I got mine from Rocker1

Check and see if you are getting blowby at the breech seal. That makes quite a bit of noise, especially since it is nearer your ear. Drape a tissue over the breech... I bet you will see it jump when you shoot from air escaping. You can adjust that gap, by screwing in the valve body just a bit more (back off the small grub screw that locks the valve body in place first.) You want it tight as you can get it, without it trying to slice the breech seal o-ring when you rotate the breech closed. Might take a few tries to find the right amount. 

I made a tool to turn the valve body out of a small piece of wood and two 2mm drill bits which I sunk into two holes the proper spacing apart, until only about 1/2" of the shanks were sticking out. Crude but effective. Probably more than one way to skin that cat. Just remember to back off that grub screw first... AMHIK.

I'm using the moderator adapter from JSAR. Really nice bit of machining in SS. Perfect fit, nice threads, broached for a hex key.
