Another beautiful conversion! What's the OAL?My brother likes my Ataman AP16, but since it's currently unavailable, he asked me to shorten one of his Notos. I call it the poormans AP16, lol. I cut the barrel down to 200mm and shorten tank, shroud and rail accordingly. Also opened up the end caps to regain volume in the tank. Net volume is 72 cc and yields 27 regulated shot at 715 f/sec. with crosman 14.3. Not bad, slightly faster than my AP 16.

It's 350mm, same as AP16 long. I may make one for myself, I want to make a compact version. Problem is tank volume, the regulator takes too much volume out. I order an BSA CLX tank from Bagnali & Kirkwood, this have bigger diameter. So new Huma reg and a new block with bigger offset is required.Another beautiful conversion! What's the OAL?
Genob what stock is on this Notos? Did you modify the original one? I like it, sharp looking.Well, it was really fun hunting with the Notos (Big Daddy) this past season. Got multiple limits of grouse and cotton tail rabbits. I had a few long shots that required follow up shots, so I decided to tweak it some more. Got it to push 42 FPE with the original design puppet valve. I may make another balance valve for this after I finish the wood stock project for Mamma Notos.

Yes it's modified original stock. I'll cut it shorter once I'm caught up with other projects. The folding adapter adds 2 inch to the length of pull.Genob what stock is on this Notos? Did you modify the original one? I like it, sharp looking.
I really like that. Looks very clean.Yes it's modified original stock. I'll cut it shorter once I'm caught up with other projects. The folding adapter adds 2 inch to the length of pull.

I'd suggest firewalker, but if he can't do it because he's got other things going on, I can do it.. there's several things that have to be considered, likely a front shroud bushing, plus does he want the barrel to extend past the muzzle and use a thread protector, or inside threads on the front bushing and a back to back adapter for a moderator, to keep the length shorter without the moderator..My friend wants to know if there's anyone doing custom work on the Notos barrel? He wants to remove the stock moderator and have it threaded for an add on. If there's anyone that can help him, please email him at [email protected].
Thanks in advance,

have you thought about making a shroud air tube over the barrel? evinix viper is like that along with FX Drs, Barra and JTS are behind but following the FX Drs.. a little more air in the same space, without making the gun larger..The poorman's Ataman AP pistol that me and my younger brother collaborated has morphed to a Notos Rocket 2. It's finally done, and he is tuning it now for better efficiency. He is getting 722 f/sec average with 14.3 CPHP out of the 200 mm barrel. Reg is @ 1.8 k with lighter poppet valve spring along with 1 full coil cut from hammer spring. Adjuster back out all the way. I made the tank adapter and end cap for gauge with QD foster. He can still go back to the single cut down tank if he want's it.
