ARTEMIS PP750 / KRALE Delivery 👍

As always, the guys at KRALE were amazing to deal with, 
shipping was super fast - just a few days from The Netherlands to NY/USA, 
and best yet - No hidden customs/UPS charges, and, US customs didn't destroy anything.

We've been ranting a bit on here about those things lately, so, 
I figured I'd post a few shots of how the box[es] and contents arrived:

bluemoon wulf, 

Yeah, I think they did a fantastic job with the design of this one! 
I used to have a PP700 [with attached folding-stock] 
*Most of us who used that stock had minor issues with them 'wobbling'. 
This new extending stock is just awesome! 
It telescopes nicely, locks in place perfectly, and is very rigid.
Two spring buttons release it to slide it back forward/in, 
and it can be removed if shooting in regular pistol form is preferred.

I agree when it comes to the grips.. 
My only gripe when I saw the 750s original design rendering was the grip.
I would also much rather have a nicely molded version w/ 'finger grooves'.
Definitely not a deal killer for me though. I enjoy design and fabrication 
so maybe I'll come up with a different set of custom grips in the future..

Shipping Box - Yup, I noticed the squished in sides right away, 
but like you mentioned, I get packages 'locally' that are wayyy worse, 
and with KRALE, I know they always do a great job internally padding things.
When inspecting the OEM box, I didn't see any actual damage at all.
A Big Plus! 

😊👍

Aparks454, 

Agreed! I love what SPA / Artemis did with the design of this gun! 
I've had a few regular pistols over the years, but, what I really enjoy 
is being able to throw a 'stock' on them and shoot em' in rifle-form.
[Here's an old rendering I did of what I'll be shooting for with mine]
As of right now though, these are so new that there's no 'extras' for them.
*Extra magazines
*Threaded adapters for suppressors
Etc. But, I'm sure they'll be available sooner than later.

Before the PP750, there were two other models similar to it.. 
The PP700 and the PP700-SA. I had the PP700-SA version.

The 700-SA was a killer little gun, 
and w/ the added folding-stock, great little compact 'rifle'.
It was extremely accurate, and absolute blast to shoot!

Here's a shot comparing the sizes between 2 Artemis guns:
Top is the P15 - Bullpup | Bottom is the PP700-SA w/ stock.
[I think I went a little overboard w/ suppressing that one] 🤣

That should give you [and others] a good idea of a few options..
Both are really great options for backpack / hiking / truck guns! 

I called mine The Poor Man's Leshiy! [EdGun Leshiy]

I'm hoping there will be a way to get a moderator adapter on mine eventually.

Been messing around with a few pellets and the chrony to see what weight I'll be putting through it. 

JSB 8.44 - 775fps

JSB 10.34 - 710-720fps

JSB 16.20 - 560 fps

NSA 15.5 slug - 575 fps (I won't use this, just curious. The SPA750 does shoot them as well as the pellets though.

It looks like I'll be settling in with the JSB 10.34 as the primary pellet.

I'm putting a BugBuster 3-12 on it so I'll see how it does with some shots tonight. One thing I've noted is that when shooting it offhand you can't put too much pressure on the stock wires they will start to flex a bit pushing the front of the gun down. 
 
Living in the Netherlands myself I am somewhat curious why you, living in gun-heaven, would be ordering a gun from the Netherlands, one of the most anti-gun nations on the planet. Please indulge me and tell me how this works... 😶


I bought my PP700-SA w/ stock from Canada because at the time Canada had them in stock and Krale didn't.

I would imagine that Canada and the Netherlands are on par with being anti-gun?

Does the Netherlands have the same anti-gun sediment as they do to power burners? If so its amazing Krale is even in business.
 
Hi USAFANG67, I am not sure whether we are on par with Canada. Very few people have firearms. I personally do not know anyone that does. Those that do must register with the police, have an active membership with a shooting club and adhere to strict rules about storage and transportation of weapons. And even keep an administration of ammunition used. In public no one will have a gun except law enforcement. Which feels safe. But air rifles seems to be a somewhat of a niche. In the UK air rifles are restricted to 16 Joules. In the netherlands there is no max. And there are quite a few business that seem successful selling them. Including Huma which sells its regulators everywhere. As a kid I had several low powered air rifles. I have only kept my Sheridan. Which is still great. Recently I purchased an Artemis M16 which is amazing. Greetings from Amsterdam!
