I don’t think people look at a $200. Gun as an investment. You have to have realistic expectations when the competition is all around 5x the price.

I cannot allow this topic to drop out of sight on this revered forum!!! Therefore, I have endeavored to share what knowledge and insights I have recently obtained.
Once our shipment has arrived in Canada, it will take Wes a little time to unpack and determine the federal airgun power requirements of the various countries of those who ordered from him. Canada has a reduced FPE output, thus requiring the ports of guns going to other countries to use a larger port for greater power output.
Wes said he will try to replace the output port on the guns prior to shipment, or if the order exceeds his available time and labor, he will send a power change kit, with larger port, and simple instructions on changeout. He advised this is a very simple conversion that can easily be done at home. He has changed ports on the 750 so he knows what's involved. He already has a supply of the larger ports in hand, so he can move fast when the shipment arrives.
I believe we have made an excellent choice in purchasing the 750. I saw an ad for the Bandit 800 now equipped with a shoulder stock, cost of $350 USD. This gun is, correct me if I'm wrong, is spring piston powered and available in the compressed air piston versions. When I compared it's features, I seriously considered ordering another 750 because I believe this gun is so superior and will prove to be very popular once we get out hands on it and start diddling and modifying...as some of us are want to do.
Kudo's to Wes for his efforts to provide us a unique pistol which no one else seems to want to sell. Oh well...I've got mine saved, and he said he ordered a few extra,,,I wouldn't wait if I you have not made your purchase decision yet.
In keeping with Wes's efforts to go out of his way to help us obtain this pistol, I found an old photo of another gentleman, who also went out of his way to help strangers, even though he was President of the United States, and personally delivered dry goods, not locally available, to a rural family.
Good men always seem to be there when you really need them!!!
Kind regards,

Hi from Greece,
I have the gun quite a few months now (.22, 12 ft-lbr) and recently I tested it with H&N slugs, 21 gr and 23 gr, the .218 versions.
Guys, you may read here and there that slugs need a lot of power, but this gun absolutely rocks with slugs. Up to 50 m the gun shoots only 2cm more drop compared to the 18.gr JSBs, but at 73 m (the maximum of the range I shoot), the gun shoots hard (10 fpe on target) and consistent. I upgraded to 2-7x32 Hawke now in order to cope with the extended capabilities. So favorite pellets are the 18.13 gr JSBs up to 50 m and the new H&N slugs at .218, they slide effortless and they are accurate - caution, because they ricochet more compared to standard ones
I liked it with this stripper at the end instead of the additional muffler.
If anybody has found a schematic diagram , I would be much obliged if I could have it shared with me...
Regards

Hot diggity dang!!! I have a box of 400 hollow point slugs from Nielsenspecialtyammo.com in 17.5 gr. and .2165 diameter. At that weight and size, they should fly out of that 750 with some serious horsepower, given that the U.S. has no restrictions on airgun power. (apologies to Chicago residents )
I'll post some chrony results and performance after I receive my 750.

I don't know about NSAs, but H&Ns it shoots them well. I am located in Greece and Nielsen slugs are expensive, so I searched for "affordable" solutions. A friend of mine tuned an FX Dreamline to shoot very long distances with slugs, and he gave some 23 and 25 gr H&N to try .. this is how I got to know them. I ordered 21 and 23 , at .217 and .218. My PP750 Shoots at 12 ft-lbr and the 21 are very good, I can hit shotgun cartridges at 73 m with ease with a 4x scope. I estimated with strelock that the slug hits at 10 ft-lbr (compared to 7 ft-lbr of a JSB 18.13 gr), so it is quite powerfully at distances.

Hi Bob, my mail is [email protected], if you can sent me the PP750 schematIC will be great.
I see you are a dealer, so if I need Artemis parts can you support? I am located in Greece.

My first attempt at a chin rest for the PP750. I made an inset for an O-ring to help grip the metal rods. When I get my pistols I'll see how it works. In the mean time I have some other ideas I'm going to try designing.

How's the Customs routine going, Wes? I've got some house sparrows that need some polymag therapy. LDC adapter already here.

Here's another idea for the chinrest. This is just a preliminary design. Once I know the correct dimensions I will print one and see how it works.The colors I have right now are black, red and blue. Most people will probably want black, but the filament comes in lots of colors. I'm using PETG which is a more durable type of plastic.

Hi Guys! Well, not the best news again. My shipment has been chosen by customs for inspection. I half expected that but the bad news is they are backed up at Vancouver and it's going to be a wait ,like possibility of a couple weeks. That's pretty disappointing.
For US customers that want the full power transfer port installed but don't want to do it themselves, I'm working out a deal with Veradium air and I'll pay him to do it for you. My plan is if possible it won't cost more than the advertised price on the website, but forum coupons and discounts will not be applicable if you choose that option. You can choose to take it as is with a port included in the box and do it yourself as well, and use the coupons.
I hope that's fair. I want to respect the law here and up in Canada we're stuck with 500fps max on pistols.
I also have silencer adapters that will be available as add-on, so you can put a 1/2" unf silencer on the end .
Thanks for your patience, I hope I'll have these soon!

I forgot to add that if you'd like extra work done on the pistol to increase power even more or if you want trigger work done you can contact Veradium air and get that work done while it's there in his shop.

Thought I’d give this a bump as I’m patiently waiting for one from Wes.
Thanks for all the info you guys!!

Thanks,

The rodents have grown fat and slow in their movements. The turtles that eat the pellets from my fish feeder have grown accustomed to me standing on my dock and yelling "puff...", which is the noise the pistol will make with my DonnyFL Tanto silencer on it!!! The raccoons, possums, and 'dillo's have tried several times to ambush me after dark when I fish too late, had to fight them off with a knife last night. Dang near bled out before I got to the band-aid box!!! There is no quarter asked, or given, in the darkness of the Arkansas mountains.
Slaughter, suffering, death, mayhem, gore, screams in the night, await when my pistol arrives.
There will be no mercy shown.... The only thing they can do is pray for a quick death:

Kindly Ol' Uncle Hoot
