Snowpeak PP750 removing cocking lever

[Vlada1911]

So, i found a machinist willing to make me a biathlon style cocking lever for my pp750, but I should remove mine first so he could use it as a refference.

Anybody knows how I should go about it? Can it be done while the gun is under pressure and how should I remove the pins?

Thank you all.

Hello I am interested in the biathlon levers also. To remove the lever on your PP750 you probably should degas but I don't think it is necessary. I had mine completely apart to add bottle mod and longer barrel. You need to remove trigger assembly-hammer and spring and there is a lug that screws into the bottom of the pellet probe that needs to be removed. Then you remove the pin at back of breech that lever pivots on and slide out lever and probe assembly. The connector from the lever to the probe has a pin that pushes up from the bottle to get it off the lever. I did not remove the connecting lever to the actual cocking lever but it looks to have a pressed pin also. If you can get him to make them so they can be flat so they can be able to switch to the left side they will work for the NOTOS also. Please keep me in mind as I also am looking for someone to pay to make them. If you need I will take mine apart this weekend and can upload images.

Hey, thank you for the advice. I will try to take it apart tomorrow using your instructions.
As far as I know, from one UK forum member, lever from FX Wildcat is basically direct fit. Only the pin holes needs to be englarged to 3mm and the back corner should be sanded down a bit.
I would get one for Wildcat, but have no way of ordering it over here (Serbia).
I'm visiting machinist this Saturday, and will let you know how it goes.

Hello wondering how your biathlon lever journey has gone. Any luck ?

Hey. Well, the guy finished it. Haven't installed it yet, as I want to polish some parts while the gun is disassembled.
The guy that made is is a bit sloppy, and I have to sand the lever quite a bit, too. I will post some pictures later today or tomorrow, when I install it.
