New SPA Artemis PP750

Jump to latest Follow Reply
Hi Hoot, if everyone can pm or email me your wishes that will help. I'll be emailing people I don't hear from. I assume most people will want Veradium to do it, but if you'd like to do it yourself and get the direct shipping that's great. The forum coupon will apply to anyone buying it to ship direct.

Still waiting for the final bill. I think what might make the most sense and be most fair is if for everyone that wants their gun tuned by Brian - the $15 shipping they pay at checkout will cover shipping to him and I'll pay for thr conversion out of my pocket, and then they will have to pay another $15 to get it shipped to their door. 

That sound reasonable? I'm open to suggestions, but I do at least need to end up with more income than expense in the end 😁. 

Regards, 

Wes

I believe your shipping costs are fair! Considering the buyer gets a free conversion out of the deal, another $15 is not unreasonable. It's not every day you can get a gun like this delivered to your door for under $300 each. I never did hear from Veradium as to how much he wants to do a full tune-up on the gun??? Might be worth his time to let us know what he can do to fully tune up the 750, and how much it would cost!

I had this skewing badly on mine. I've only managed about a dozen shots out of it before it binds from skewing so badly, you can not cock the gun. I didn't completely understand your explanation but gained enough that I backed out the machined bolt screwed in the pellet probe to test if that was the issue with the binding. While backing this screw out it did allow me to pull the pellet probe back further, but it wasn't far enough to actually cock the pistol. I did note the pellet probe torques/skews badly to the one side so severely under the spring pressure, it binds. Then the lever broke.

I'm in the process of trying to return this Krale for exchange, but I fear the shipping may be cost prohibitive. 

Anyone know of a way I can either get this repaired/replaced under warranty OR have someone look at the root cause of this and maybe repair? At this point, it a paperweight.

I'm so disappointed. I had high hopes for this one.

In response to @thane, I had this same skewing badly on mine. I've only managed about a dozen shots out of it before it binds from skewing so badly, you can not cock the gun.

"Get"....did you try backing out the hammer spring? Perhaps you have it powered up too much to where it won't cock??? That's happened to me before.

Fatmike...there are thousands of these guns being delivered. It is inevitible one or two are going to have issues that are easily resolved. Things like this are the exception, not the rule.

"Get"...contact Wes on this forum. Send him a PM and I'll be you can get it straightened out in a heartbeat. Besides Veradium fixes these guns so you don't have to ship it overseas if you live in the U.S. or Canada.

I don't know how common lever binding is, but I have rolled with it and have a very smooth cycling gun at the moment. Putting a shim washer under the machine bolt makes for more engagement as there were marks on my bolt top indicating it was crossing over the hammer collar instead of bearing on the face of collar as designed. Skewing of the bolt probe and minimal engagement causes the bolt to ride up the hammer then binding. Keeping the bolt probe wide sections well greased (I use moly) is a must, but not the only remedy.

Turning an ± 15° under cut on the bolt head, like the end of a horn. Cutting the same 15° undercut in hammer face/sear catch. So now when cocking force applied, the parts cannot ride up, they pull together due to the dovetail like matching angles. This in combination with the shim washer has been working well for the last couple of weeks with over 200 pellets, 8 hosps, 2 crow, 2 rat...

My lever has been replaced months ago, machined from stainless bar, more than twice as thick.

Guys this has been a bit of a nightmare shipment, one I hope is the only one I ever have so many delays and not nice surprises. I got another bad surprise today to find out my shipment never got picked up as I was notified it had been and was still at the terminal. It's a long stressful story, with several different versions depending who I talked with but seems to have come down to some power plays by the person in charge at terminal being rather unhelpful and turning away the trucking company four times in the last week. They made another attempt tonight and I was on the phone with the terminal lady in charge when they came and hopefully she let the shipment go this time. Rather unfriendly. Anyway another very needless delay.

Last week when they made the first attempt that failed they asked me to call, and I got ahold of a very friendly lady that said she had everything straightened out and so I thought all was well. I got the email that the shipment was picked up and on its way. But apparently no, that was a mistake, and this rather unfriendly person seems to have been determined not to let it out the door for whatever reason. 

Praying for good news tomorrow morning!

Brian from Veradium Air has posted a setup plan for the PP750s from Wes.

You can check it out at https://www.veradiumair.com/prod_f.html

Veradium Air might be offering this service in theory but are not replying to those wanting this service.

Sent them an email enquiring about having this service on my PP750 but never received a replay.

Time to reevaluate this "Dog Chasing Its Tail" show between Wes (airgunarcheryfun), Canadian Customs Delay, and Veradium Air.

He's got guys lined up and is setting aside days to do the tunes and plans to get these out to customers very quickly after they arrive at his shop. Sorry you didn't get a reply, hopefully he'll respond soon. Pretty good deal I think on the full tune! If I was in the US I'd be getting it myself 😁

I'll wait till the dust is settled on this one before I reorder.

In the words of Tony Soprano...."Revenge is best served with cold slaw!!!"

Cole Slaw was invented by the ancient Egyptians. You have offended 10 million Egyptians who live on the Nile with your remark.

I wouldn't be vacationing in Egypt in the near future if I were you!!! Furthermore....I'd avoid eating cole slaw in the foreseeable future!
