    Umarex Notos cocking lever.

    I appreciate that, I'll email about the new file! I did run into a sear engagement issue, my fix was to move the sear pin hole slightly higher which allowed it to engage properly and got me a bit more stage-1 pull. I also modified the front end so I could fit my preferred clamp-on handgrip and...

    Umarex Notos cocking lever.

    You've stayed busy! I was following your lower development on reddit and printed one as soon as you were selling the STL. It's been working great and acted as a stable model from which to kit-bash and adjust for my hand size.

    Umarex Whats your Favorite Affordable PCP Airgun

    I run my PCP with a hand pump only and it was maybe 15% of the overall setup cost. A PCP rifle will still shoot fine even without a compressor/buddy bottle/scuba tank/etc. From my perspective those items are non-essential luxuries and yeah, luxuries will add to the cost.

    Umarex Made my own Notos magazine

    Very cool, I like the shot indicator! I also like your manual-multi-filament solution, I'll have to give that a try.

    Umarex Whats your Favorite Affordable PCP Airgun

    Another vote for the Notos, while I've not had the exceptional accuracy (so far, firewalker barrel incoming) it's still been enough for my purpose of small game hunting. It's quiet enough that I'm usually allowed more than one shot, hah. I'm just hand pumping the darn thing, though I might pick...

    Umarex Notos Accuracy Troubleshooting

    That observation about harder pellets tolerating poor machining is very helpful and definitely helps to explain why I might be grouping better with the non-lead GTOs despite their lighter weight. Thank you for that! I got some JTS domes in yesterday and tested them out seen in post #10, they...

    Umarex Notos Accuracy Troubleshooting

    Chronograph came in and I did a single tube's worth of shots with Crosman Premieres. Extreme spread of 12.8fps and an average velocity of 740fps for a little more than 17FPE. Next up - it's new barrel time!

    Umarex Notos Accuracy Troubleshooting

    Quick follow up with some heavier pellets. Three shot groups, 20yd from bags: 16gr-ish still doing the best, similar to some of the groups I've gotten with polymag shorts 18gr is ok, though a little inconsistent. For those with experience, how much does your windage change between pellets...

    Umarex Notos with STX superior liner?

    The rifle is zeroed at 20yd, point of aim is 1" over point of impact, the scope I am using has adjustable AO down to 3yd. We'll see what the chrono says when I get it tomorrow! My groups were shot to test possible moderator clipping, swapping between an unmodified moderator and one that I...

    Umarex Notos with STX superior liner?

    roger that, it's good of them to send spares! What distance were you shooting your groups? Here's 5 of my troubleshooting groups. All at 7yd, 5 shot groups, all CPHP's:

    Umarex Notos with STX superior liner?

    I'm still new here, so I'll PM once I'm allowed! It's good to hear that the 380 FX kit seems relatively plug-and-play. Do you know if the C88 adapters use the same odd barrel orings as the stock notos, or have they built it around something more easily available?

    Umarex Notos Accuracy Troubleshooting

    Heh, I think I'll wait to give that one a try. At least until I can 3D print myself a lathe (seriously Chris Borge's looks kinda promising though).

    Umarex Notos Accuracy Troubleshooting

    I'll give some heavier pellets a try! So far the heaviest that I've tried are the polymag shorts in 15.89gr which shot pretty well, seen here: 3x shot groups, not quite what I've gotten with the lighter GTO's but still better than the CPHP's. @MartinT I haven't noticed any change in...

    Umarex Notos with STX superior liner?

    I've mostly been shooting Crosman Premiere Hollowpoints, and GTO Predator lead free pellets. CPHP for plinking and testing, GTO for hunting. Reg pressure is stock and hammer spring is 1 full turn out from max currently, though I've had it backed out as far as being flush with the receiver...

    Umarex Notos Accuracy Troubleshooting

    There's a good chance that I'm part of the 1% who got a notos that doesn't shoot laser beams, unfortunately I'm in no position to return the pellet rifle on account of incessant tinkering. So here's an account of my journey so far in the hopes that with some help I can figure out how to get the...

    Umarex Notos with STX superior liner?

    That's good to know about the 380mm FX kit! I'm not too worried about power gains (yet), the current power levels have been fine for my squirrel and quail hunting so far. There's no perceptible wiggle to my scope rail, I've gone through and torqued and blue-loctited everything down. 10 or...

    Umarex Notos with STX superior liner?

    Oh man, I'd love a $30 dollar replacement notos barrel too! I think you've said that the longer barrels require porting to work @Firewalker , is that the case with the 380 FX barrel as well? I'm dealing with some pretty atrocious groups from my notos and am trying to pin down the problem...
