    Umarex My Notos first impressions

    Haven't used AEA yet but I have used JTS. I have heard they are very similar in construction. I have not used JTS in my notos yet. I have used them in my avenge-x and was very impressed by them. I weighed a tin of them once just out of curiosity, I normally do not bother, and they had very few...

    It's a good idea to check all the screws and seals on all guns when you get them. Even if it is from a good company you can never tell how long it has been sitting on a shelf. And often shipping isn't very gentle, at least where I live. I swear every box I get in the mail has had some sort of...

    Umarex My Notos first impressions

    I honestly don't remember the size screw I used, I just used the smallest one I had. I remember it being pretty close though. I may use a dovetail mount at some point. Right now I have a over bore bipod, which I really like. If I could find a dovetail to pic rail that was as long as the one that...

    Umarex My Notos first impressions

    I noticed something when I put the gun back together after doing the port job. The screw that holds the pic rail wasn't going all the way down. It looked like it was at a glance but I could see some play in the rail. After shortening the screw it works properly now, no movement. I suppose this...

    Bit harsh there Firewalker. I understand your trying to help and I appreciate your information. And I agree that it doesn't matter If he was asking for advice or not, the information is helpful to others. But your basically saying is that no ones thoughts matter and shouldn't say anything...

    Done with the port job. I did 4mm. I really didn't want to have to tap and all that. Did some quick tests. Hades is now shooting at 800fps. NSA 17.5gr is at 760fps. NSA 20.2gr is at 710fps. I am happy with these numbers. I haven't messed with the HS at all, it is all the way out atm. So, I'm...

    Umarex My Notos first impressions

    I was going to go 4mm. Taking apart the gun was a bit of a hassle and I have to travel to get access to a drill press, it's at my dad's shop. Rather not be bothered going back unless I have too. Not sure how a 4.5mm will work, a 4mm barely fits without hitting the threads in the hole you have...

    Umarex My Notos first impressions

    I decided to try and port mine. I have it completely disassembled now. I do have one question; Do you have to drill out the brass part (valve) the pin was holding? It seems like you should but I don't want to drill it out if I don't have too. I also bit the bullet and ordered parts to do a...

    Umarex Mod potential of Notos?

    Had to remove my mod on mine. It is a very destructive and there is no getting it back on once off. As far as I'm aware, there is no clean/easy way to take it off. There are 2 (if I remember right) metal clips that are molded into the mod that attaches it to the barrel. There is no access to...

    How much of a pain is it to get to the transfer port? I'm interested in doing a port job, looks like it has given you guys good fps numbers. I have all the tools to do so, I have access to a machine shop. It looks like a complete tear down of the gun is required, unless I'm missing something.

    Umarex My Notos first impressions

    Yeah, mine does just about the same. I'll have to write down the zero position for both. Went from fist size+ groups to less then quarter. I was quite surprised how drastic the change was. The Hades do tend to group better for me but, as I said, NSA do way better in terms of power over...

    Umarex My Notos first impressions

    Shot a little more tonight to get some chrono data. Both were shot 10 times. Both SD was below 2, which is good enough for me. Hades is shooting an average of 738fps (19.2fpe). NSA .2175 is shooting at 695fps (18.77fpe). So, Hades wins? Nope. At 30y, the likely distance I will shoot from, Hades...

    Umarex My Notos first impressions

    Compared to a under bipod I would say there is less lateral movement. But it is way more stable (I have no fear of the gun ever falling over) and much easier to get level. Because the gun is more or less hanging from the bipod, gravity naturally makes the gun level. Kind of like a plumb bob...

    17.5gr .2175 slugs came in. Shoot way better then the .217. Amazing how much a .0005 difference can make. Hades also came in and it looks like those are going to be my go to pellets. They shoot extremely well out of my Notos. I did have some POI shifts after shooting today. But after shooting I...

    Umarex My Notos first impressions

    I haven't shot it very much yet with it set up this way, I haven't had time to shoot much. But it seems fine. I haven't noticed any POI shifts (what little I have shot). I'll have to get back to you after I shoot it more next weekend. Only problem I have run into is the fact that I mounted it...

    I got the 217. Looks like I'll have to try some of the .218. At least they aren't super expensive.

    Added a UTG over bore bipod. Works great. Got it for $137 on amazon, seems to be currently on sale. I likely would not have bought it for full price. Although, after using it I would say it is worth full price ($185). It is quite hard to find over bore bipods, at least ones reasonably priced. I...

    I do know they are called moderators, just ignore my me when I say modulator. I work with electronics. I use the word modulator frequently, so I kind of just type it out when I am trying to say moderator. My mind is dumb like that sometimes.

    Assembled my folding stock. Has reduced it's size to 12 1/2 inches, folded and with modulator on. I made the modulator quite a bit shorter, surprisingly enough it didn't really impact the sound that much. I used the 3d file from here. I did modify it a bit. Mostly the grip, they were way to...

    Yeah, I'm going to give up on taking it off. Really giving me problems and I don't have a pin punch to take out the spring and other bits off to make it come off. The 3D model is for mil spec so unless I change it it likely won't work anyways. And changing it will be a pain. I could make it so...
