New SPA Artemis PP750

Got one from Krale yesterday, not sure how many they got but right after I bought this one they showed out of stock. Has a weird sliding mount on the barrel? 

Dear JPMCG....

If you "purse" your lips, and blow really hard into the muzzle, with the breech open, you can move that sliding part back and forth and play the gun like a trombone!!!

The only negative part is the oily taste in your mouth afterwards.

Please...no need for thanks here, it's just my way of helping advance the sport!!!

Lol, thanks for the tip 

Is the sliding mount metal or plastic?

PP750 looks awesome! I ordered the PP700 because 750 is out of stock but will ordered when it get back in stock. Can’t wait to try them! 

Got mine from Krale yesterday, too! The gun is pretty darn nice! Need to work on that trigger a bit. Think it just needs adjustments to lighten it up. It breaks reliably and like glass, just a bit heavy. The bolt is a bit gritty only when under cocking pressure. Also, the magazine is worthless. Already ordered me some from CARM magazines.

I want to get some chrony numbers, then take it apart to address the bolt and the trigger.



Krale was great and the price was right, too! I will order from them again! (Two days from the Netherlands to my door! AirgunDepot, PyramidAir should take note.) Also the pellets I purchased from them were very competitive even with shipping.

PS: This just in 7/13/20...shipping for the carm mags is roughly $7.50 to the U.S. But again, based on user reports, you might want to give the OEM mags a try first.

Friends....

I dug around through the web and found the following information......

(Apologies for the big spaces between pics...just the way they loaded.)



Personally, I'm going to give the OEM mags a try before I shell out $20-$40 USD for replacement mags! 

I am, however, more interested in the neat single shot loader from CARM for the 750...looks quite functional!

(It costs about $20 USD, no info on shipping)

That is kinda cool

The mags, if they are the same idea as the other Artemis and Diana Lego guns, should be fine once you know how to use them. I've sold hundreds of them and shot countless shots through them and they work great for the most part. Once in awhile one needs adjustment. There is a wee Allen key screw in the back that adjusts how far the face plate sits out from the mag body. Sometimes that face plate can be set in too much and bind so the inside parts don't turn freely. But that is pretty rare.

The container the shipment was in was chosen for customs exam. That's done now but the shipment still needs to be cleared so I'm hoping Monday that will be done. 

With the OEM magazines, the pellets get hung up, it's bumpity-bump, and in the worst case scenario get disfigured upon entry into the chamber. The CARM magazines make the delivery of pellets into the chamber smooth. This is my only issue with the OEM mags.

Good to know but sorry to hear it! 

WesBob: Any ETA on the PP750? I'm really interested in getting one, seems more consistent in quality than P-Rod. Plus it's smaller with almost the same accuracy and shot count.

They are waiting clearance. Hopefully tomorrow!

I'm all sold out of 22 caliber but my friend Raman has a portion of this shipment and he will have them for sale. If you want yours adjusted by Veradium air and want a 22 cal, but haven't paid a deposit, then let me know. Hopefully I can work something out. 

I still have some 177 left. 

Thanks, 

Wes

For the last 4 months I have shot 22 different models of pellets from H&N, JSB, AA,... well over 2,000 pellets, all from the OEM magazine without issue.

There are sharp edges that make magazine insertion require precision alignment. Rounding the corners with a jewelers file made it much easier.

Thanks for the advice. Can you show a pic of the rounded edges on the mag?

Any current owners have any instructions for power and/or trigger adjustments for the 750? Any special equipment needed? Pictures appreciated if you have instructions.

I picked up 37% increase in power (9.2 FPE to 12.6 FPE) over stock with many modifications. 

Link to mod thread with photos: PP750 Tear down and tune up

The highest power I have made was 16FPE with the regulator washer stack out.

Others have made much greater power with a lengthened barrel.

The slide is aluminum, thin aluminum. There is very little plastic on this gun - a nice departure from most!
