It has worked great for me. Which I see with my own eyes. Its almost like people can have different experiences!

I suspect you’re experiencing the same issues I had with mine.
The shotgun pattern groups were caused by baffle strikes and the baffle strikes were caused by the end of the barrel cover not being properly finished. Instead of seating flush and parallel with the bore the little bits of casting debris and swarth were causing it to sit canted. I managed to fix this by overtightening the adapter. Once the baffle strikes stopped the groups became respectable.
The shooting way too low was caused by the front and rear rails not being in alignment. The rear rail on mine is about 1/16” lower than the front. I just shimmed TF out of my rear scope ring. I used 13 aluminum shims cut from the side of a pop can and I think that 15 would have actually centered the scope better.
And you’re absolutely right about this being unacceptable quality control. I called this gun a turd in a different thread and I stand by that.

You passed on to the group what appeared to be a good deal and apparently has been for many.
And I think all of us were warned that these are hit or miss when it comes to quality.

I shot it with a moderator and without, POI didn't change. Due to the overly large pattern and drop, I am guessing its the crown. Perhaps saw cut and has a burr.
It was a fingers-crossed purchase and there is a good chance that recrowning it or exchanging it would have resulted in a decent pistol but in the end, the grips were made for a child or a woman and were too confining, the magazines were the same old "Upside-down" first pellet carp that I can't stand and the air tank was just too small for any real shooting.

Well I didn't fare any better with the gun I decided to purchase instead of one of these duds.
I picked up a beeman 2028 Marshall, and it was so inaccurate I couldn't even shoot it outside without fear of it slinging a pellet off into the abyss.
It was bought ad a project, so I had already muddled with stuff so there was no returning it. I ended up having to recrown it 2x, scrub it out more than any other barrel I've ever received, polished and chambered the leade, remove a burr from the transfer port, and polish the barrel about 40 strokes. Now it'll give me quarter sized groups at 25, but I did make it into a carbine. 20 shots at 18 fpe.
Currently building a CF shroud for it and the stock is now painted and drying.

I do not have your skills and patience.
If an airgun sucks I will send it back.
If more of us do that then maybe the airgun manufacturers will stop giving us bad airguns.

I have the notos with factory grips and open sights.. yes 22" long is too much, but I shortened it with a 4" moderator inside the shroud, I had to shorten the 11" barrel 4" and I expected it to be louder and not as accurate.. it's actually more accurate with my crown and thanks to Dallas for the moderator it's quieter than factory.. now it's just under 16 inches long..
I'll try to post pictures at the end

pictures of my finished notos, now a large pistol just under 16 inches long but it's better than the factory 22" long..
it now has a moderator inside the shroud and vents inside the inner shroud.. great new crown , I learned from a old gunsmith..turn the end perfect, do the outside corner bevel and then spin it on high in the lathe and use a die grinder attached to the lathe for a 45° with a fine stone spinning 19k rpm.. under a magnifying glass the inside of the crown was perfect and crisp rifling ends and it's quieter than factory, more accurate than factory..
thanks to firewalker for o rings and sharing information,
thanks to Dallas for getting the moderator printed
thanks to Felix for loaning a chronograph

No, still double tank. But it's now regulated for more consistent shot and also threaded for moderator. Power is a lot less than the unregulated.I heard that there's a jet 3 coming

pinky finger goes under grip for a more stable shot helps with shaking.That is purposley done.Says Bob Munden the fastest gun ever also hit baloon at 200 yards .with snub nose 38.Ithink that grip is great super control if used correctly
