I knew you wouldn't stick with the first version
Looks awesome, id love to try one.
The first design was functional and cheap for raw materials but took such a long time to make and looks amateurish.
This is a commercial product, refitted to the Notos.
It was not my idea but the brainchild of one of my customers. None are available for sale yet.

I said that with full respect to the level of quality work you produce.
Keep up the good work bud.

Are these longer wildcat levers? I tried to get a hold of one, but couldn't and tried it with an impact one, but it didn't work.

Thanks Mark for all of your help, I just spoke with Mike and he's taken another route in remedying his Notos!

where is the balance valve in the notos.. as far as I remember there is the main poppet valve that the hammer hits and the regulator.. so I thought only guns like huben had balance valve instead of the hammer.. did you modify it for a balance valve or is it something else you made?

This is the final version, they work, they clear the mags, there is room for fingers. Ill work on pricing next and sorry, no, these will be an installed item only.

Finally got some free time for myself, starting to mock up my notos pistol. The poor mans AP16 I did together with my brother is working excellent for him. Now I want one but I'll make it 300 mm AOL. The tank along with the end caps opened up and the regulator put on a diet with new housing netted 60 cc of air volume. Need to shorten the barrel more, currently the pistol is at 330 mm AOL.

Update on my Notos pistol project, started preliminary testing today. Barrel is now at 210 mm, front tank cup is not final design. First was unregulated to see if additional air volume would give more shot count. I had valve lock problems at 250 bar charge, reduced to 220 bar and shot to 110 bar. This resulted in an extreme spread of 97 f/s (37 shots) with 19 shots on the curb at 15 f/s spread. Installed reg back on (set @ 120 bar) and got 652 average f/s with 14.3 CPHP for joules, 28 shots before falling off reg. More tuning to come, lighter hammer and lighter poppet valve spring. Just using Terry's lower for the grip until I get some time to make my own. Pistol weight at 998 grams ( 2.24 lbs. with micro dot).

Okay, I call this project done for now. Just finished testing it, using JSB 14.35's gets 35+ shots on the reg @ 642 f/s or 13 fpe. I did not quite make my OAL goal of 300mm, it's 10 mm over (12 1/4 inch). I don't want shorten the tank anymore, if I find a smaller gauge I'll make a new shorter end cap.
