So while I was waiting for my Notos to ship I was on the PA website looking at reviews. Somebody mentioned that their notos had an issue with the bolt binding inside the reciever during the cocking cycle and causing serious wear, eventually causing it to become unusable. So after mine arrived I made a point to lube this area with silicone grease. Unfortunately that very thing started happening only a couple hundred shots in. It would bind to the point it wouldn’t cock without extreme force. I knew this would very quickly scuff the internal surfaces and lead to more severe wear. I considered returning it but decided to try remedying it first. So I took it apart and cleaned off the silicone grease and applied an extra tacky extreme pressure synthetic grease. This has completely eliminated the problem and the cocking cycle is smoother several hundred shots later. Unfortunately the silicone greese doesn’t have the correct lubing properties. Be cautious however that you don’t get the grease forward into the action where the orings are as it may damage them.
also I was tweeking the trigger. It can be made very light (single stage tho) but I found out this allows the gun to fire even with the safety engaged. So be cautious of that.
