Make sure you go back in the thread and watch the vid. Take a 2mm allen wrench and back out the allen that is holding the pin for the piston, remove the piston, wipe off the China lube, check the intake hole for burrs, relube , like the instructions say, with white lithum greese, just a little, and then you are good to go. Enjoy!
We need to keep going and have fun doing it.

Now, while you are waiting for your new gun to get here, go to the store and get one of these white out pens. This thing is great for putting white dots on the sights. And, if you don't like it later, just take your finger nail and an old tooth brush and it will come right off...

Simply brilliant, 'Duck. Better than nail polish, I reckon.

Very Cool Dave :) :-*
Let us know what you think of it! :)

Here's mine with Millet Red dot.  With red dot, scope, or open sights very easy to use.

Look at that! That is some great shooting. What are you using for pellets? One hand or two? Wait untill  you get the barrel broke in. Nice.  8)

Well this is what i found for my P17 the lead is done right when i put in a new pellet it goes in far enough that it will not touch the o-ring when i close the gun it`s a very good shooting gun i`ve tried different pellets and the destroyer ex seems to be the only ones it doesn`t like with my old eyes i ordered a red dot from PA i really like this gun and can`t wait until it`s broke in and find the top pellet for it if there is only one i doubt it lol nice to have a good shooter after the NP pistol if you want a cheap paper puncher this is the one to get  :-* :-* :-*

Do any of you guys have a hard time closing the pistol with a red dot on top? It always seemed to be in the way so we're using open sights.

I have cleaned my P17, and fired about 50 shots using CPHP's. My best 10 shot group at 5 meters was about 1" for 8 shots with two fliers, one left, one right, that opened it up to 2".  Still getting used to it and I have other pellets to try out. It has sharp edges on the top rail and rear sight that I will attend to, a glove or some other hand protection when closing it is needed. The fiber optic sights are great. All in all I am happy with it so far, and hope to find a pellet that will give even better accuracy.

Yes it is difficult.  I don't push on the optics or the mount.  I try to straddle with thumb and forefinger, not easy at all.

Maybe I'm just a wimp, or my P17 is making more compression than others. (Probably not) I couldn't imagine trying to close this thing with a scope or red dot on top, and not using it for leverage. I have less trouble putting the 8th pump in a 1377 or Sheridan blue streak than one in this pistol. I've fired it over a hundred times, and it's not any easier than the first.
I have found that out of the 6 different .177 pellets I have, it likes Crosman Destroyers and Meisterkuglens best, both giving some 1" 5 shot groups at 5 meters.
