    I have that gun. It is the same as the Diana P5 or the Artemis. As far as i Know, Snowpeak are manufacturing these guns for other brands with small variations with regards to local legislations. I found that the adjustment for the trigger pull is a small hex screw placed at the top front of the trigger. Why this information is not included in the operation manual I do not know.. It may be due to local legislation in some countries or regions, wich means that not every version may have this adjustment screw. In my version it was not possible to insert a screw at the back of the trigger. I have watched several of these videos regarding this gun and in most of them I have been able to spot where the adjustment screw is located. Look closely at the top front of the trigger. If there is a small screw there that is the triggert adjustment.

    I'm impressed. It shot better than most of those expensive rifles. Easy to cock, easy to load, and perfect for those cheap red dots.

    howdy Nibs and thank you for the trigger info! I did the grub screw and the sear screw adjustment from Eric Airguns and both are spot on! so much easier to shoot now. mine is the Diana P-5. I was going to return it before I found your trigger fix info, but now its so accurate and so much fun to shoot that I have my wife shooting it also. thanks again!

    I'm glad these happen to be decent.
    My dad just told me he ordered one from the cutlery corner knife show on TV and when he was describing it I did a bit of a face palm because I assumed it was going to be the same as the old generic $20 industry brand break barrel pistols.
    My brother bought one of those about 15 years ago and it was a terrible waste of money.

    Hey there Nibs. I had a p17 apart and if you remove the pin in front of trigger take out armature and spring then replace pin, you can make your auto safety into manual safety.

  • @mrhalfstep
    @mrhalfstep Рік тому +1

    On the Snowpeak website they claim that the trigger is adjustable from 3 - 8.5 lbs, so I bet that screw is the adjustment. Maybe limits sear engagement to lighten the pull? Their site also lists 500fps and 350fps as the velocities, so if that's .177 and .22 cal ratings, your gun is meeting that with lead pellets and that's pretty dang good.

  • @2300iaff

    It is on front of trigger at the base just above where my finger rests and the other hole is in the same spot that the pic you posted was in but don’t see any threads to put a hex screw in!

    • @WalnutandSteel
      @WalnutandSteel  Рік тому +2

      I think your right about the front one. Only there to retain the safety. The hole in the rear doesn’t have any threads currently but a 4-40 grub screw will screw in securely

      ​​@@WalnutandSteel I really appreciate your amazing work, I don't want to bothering you, but I am looking for an air pistol you know there is many types like PCP co2 and the break barrel
      First I was interested and about to choose the Diana chaser
      It's really good pistol with AR kit but I read so many users complaining about co2 after 200-500 shots start losing velocity and power dropped so I ignored the chaser
      Then I am interested in the PP750 pcp air pistol it's awesome and very powerful over 13J I really like it but 2 factor stopped me
      1- cost ( $300)
      2- PCP need specialist maintenance
      So I am start looking for break barrel since they are the most reliable types and cost less ‏‪and simple, So I found so many types like
      The umarex hämmerli firehorent it's 570 fps but I don't know,, any advice? My needs is pest control I have annoying bird who destroyed my small bird nest and crushed their eggs also annoying squirrel so I want pistol can take it down from 12 yard ,? Btw I am not from USA I am from Egypt so I have limited choice
      I will list it/
      - Artemis PP750($300)
      - umarex hämmerli firehorent($145)
      - diana chaser ($175)
      - snowpeak sp500 ($110)
      - umarex trevox ( but I didn't mention it since it is gas piston) short life cycle

      UMAREX RUGER MARK IV won't go thru a tin can I've been plinking on but my Gamo P900 IGT w crossman premier pointed pellets does every time. Out of the box it was dead on 🎯
      If this pellet gun is 400 fps not 500 fps I'll just keep my Gamo P900
