Umarex Notos with STX superior liner?

A notos barrel cost like $30 vs and fx barrel cost $110. Big difference so yeah you will get better accuracy from a $110 than using a cheaper $30 barrel.
That's not always the case. LW sells barrel blanks for $50 and they shoot just about anything. Fx barrel liners are pretty much the same thing, a blank. But the process in which they make it is what makes them pricey.
Do the FX STX superior liners have a accuracy advantage over the Notos barrels? Is there an advantage of the STX liners on a stock gun? Thanks, Don
If your Notos barrel doesn't like to shoot anything.Then yes, you'll have an advantage by getting an FX barrel kit, if you get a good barrel liner, you'll have to buy that separately. Or if you want to get more velocity, given that they make 500mm barrel kits.

Not at all, the process is X10 faster and cheaper. It's a simple press over mandrel and done! No broach, no drilling, using DOM material.

Yes

Here's why. The Notos has a good barrel, if FX made a 13" liner, I'll bet money they will be neck in neck. FX starts at 380mm vs 330mm for the Notos so the FX like for like will be "more accurate" due to length alone.

The 500mm liner is even better, again, length allows better stabilization and better air, that equals better accuracy.
