A 704 MHz superconducting RF photoemission electron gun for the R&D ERL project is under comissioning at BNL. Without a cathode insert, the SRF gun achieved its design goal: an accelerating voltage of 2 MV in CW mode. During commissioning with a copper cathode insert it reached 1.9 MV with 18% duty factor, which is limited by mulitpacting in a choke-joint cathode stalk. A new cathode stalk has been designed to eliminate multipacting in the choke-joint. This paper presents recent commissioning results, including cavity commissioning without the cathode stalk insert, first beam commissioning of the SRF gun in pulsed regime, and the design of a multipacting-free cathode stalk.
