    Umarex NOTOS : SCOPE & FPE QUESTION

    Ah funny you ask...I'd went with the 380mm c88 shroud & FX superior liner, and sighted in after getting that all put in. At that point the scope was about mid-way of its adjustments & pretty much zeroed. The shroud had a minor issue from the start - the indent that takes the grub screw was maybe...

    Umarex NOTOS : SCOPE & FPE QUESTION

    Dang thanks so much for the summary. I'll work with that approach. I'd definitely gotten the reg out of whack. I did read the CW / CCW rule on the site I got the new block from, at the moment I'm still with the stock reg that requires degassing, taking the tank apart, reg pulled out & adjust. I...

    Umarex NOTOS : SCOPE & FPE QUESTION

    Yep I did. Being an amateur, when I took things apart to oil & clean I'd also intended to set the reg & hammer spring back to factory and start working back up now that I have a chrony & find the sweet spot where my FPS maxed out so i wasn't just wasting air opening up too much. - a little more...

    Umarex NOTOS : SCOPE & FPE QUESTION

    Ohhh yes FPS I'd been reading on FPE last few days & stuck in my head lol - thanks for the correction. That explanation sounds to make a lot of sense...What would the fix for that be then? Less/more hammer spring? Or cut back on the regulator a bit?

    Umarex NOTOS : SCOPE & FPE QUESTION

    Hey everyone - I've made some progress on my Notos so far, upgrading to FX 380mm barrel & CF shroud from c88, UTG BugBuster scope, polished some internals, etc... - I recently put everything back together after some deep cleaning & attempting to change out the poppet valve with an MCP...

    Umarex Is Your Notos Upgraded or Out the Box?

    Hi there! I have a question on a couple of your mods I haven't seen or where to find them...The middle one and up, that cocking lever mod - I've seen FX guns use that & seems its a really smooth minimal resistance cocking lever setup? How does that work, what would you call the parts if trying...

    Umarex Notos Accuracy

    I have a question on the eye relief on the Notos...BTW I did get the 380mm barrel & FX liner on & plenum extension - so far noticeable improvement! I get the buck rail suppressor today - it was a bit noisy for the back yard without one lol. - The eye relief- -So, the scope in my pic, I wound up...

    Scope + Red Dot

    Oh nice...that's a killer setup - thanks for the info! I don't quite get why it's not a more common setup, made me question if it meant something about what's the norm & what isn't. I'll definitely check it out and appreciate it!

    Scope + Red Dot

    Hi - I'm Shooting an Umarex Notos .22 - I already own a MidTen scope/red dot/laser combo optic - and I'm alright with it, just while in the process of upgrades of the barrel & plenum in search of the usual goals we all 'shoot' for, I'm thinking ahead to when I'll be hopefully stretching the...

    Umarex Notos Accuracy

    @AmosBurton, I believe it was your post about a $40-ish barrel-mounted chrony - is that right? I've looked everywhere and the only one I really see is the Magneto for around $250. Seems an awesome option for the times I'm plinking from inside to out the window - I've found a few cool ones that...

    Umarex Notos Accuracy

    I completely agree with you in that respect - I was really in to the Krals for the first one, but then add on the compressor, etc... and was a bit more than I was wanting to spend. I do tend to have issues when it comes to toys, as many of us do LOL - But like @AmosBurton said, for me, it being...

    Umarex Notos Accuracy

    Okay I see now - I might just cancel that Terminador order then & opt for this and a 380mm shroud kit I'd mentioned earlier - winds up being about $120 cheaper that way - I don't know how much the "dampening rings" play a part, probably not worth $120 difference I'd guess. I appreciate your time...

    Umarex Notos Accuracy

    Interesting to know...I went ahead with a 380mm kit - Liner, Barrel, shroud, etc...the whole she-bang with dampener rings from Terminador industries....I asked if it can accomodate slugs, guess I'll just wait to see what he says...Thanks very much for all of the help!

    Umarex Notos Accuracy

    Ah I'm beginning to understand all of that now. So, shroud, then inside of that is the barrel (liner) sleeve, then inside of that the actual liner. I'm having trouble finding liners that I know would fit the 380mm kit that's offered on ebay by c88machining - I think 500mm would be just too long...

    Umarex Notos Accuracy

    Got ya - So I went ahead with the plenum kit - including the threaded barrel end for moderator and ordered a buckrail threaded suppressor for it. Did do some reading on getting the original moderator off, think I've got a good idea what to look for. So plenum kit, additional plenum extension...

    Umarex Notos Accuracy

    Ah that's really good to know - thank you for the info. I'll look into that one - I wasn't sure how much magnification I'd need trying to hit 40+ yds, I see a lot of short-range sights that would be great but worried about seeing the target if I were to get more advanced and work up to longer...

    Umarex Notos Accuracy

    Ah thanks for that - So the Notos in question, is a liner necessary then if going with an aftermarket barrel, or only if you plan to use slugs? I asked the eBay guy about his barrel & said that the liner has to be purchased separately, but I didn't specify anything about slugs or pellets. I...
