    Hello Peddy, in work I used to use a can of air Leak Detector, this stuff would pick up the most tiny of leaks giving a mass of bubbles. Max. pressure was about 120 lbs. so low pressure.
    So I gave this one a squirt and it was like a major explosion in a bubble factory. I have heard, but not proved, that the 'O' rings as original are not of the best quality. As soon as I can I will order some English ones.
    I will be back with what happens.
    Cheers.
    Geoff.

    Guy at my club had the same problem, a wipe of silicone on the o ring did the trick.
    T.Robb do a moderator adaptor for the pp700sa, not sure if it fits on the W.

    Hi, well a change of 'O' rings and a smear of silicon grease has cut the AIR leak ( HA HA got it right this time, not CO2.) to an acceptable amount. A champfer on the leading edge of the door made for an easier life for the 'O' ring.
    Thanks all.
    Cheers.
    Geoff.

    PP700sa has a cap you can unscrew from the muzzle and TR Robb do a screw-in moderator adaptor.

    I use mine with a HW silencer and its extremely quiet, but quite long. rested on a bag we could hit the 45yd bell with it all day long. (scoped obviously, 30mm bell)

    You can't fit one to the PP700w.
