Umarex Notos FX Barrel Kit 500mm .25cal
- Thread starter Misguided
- Start date
I've got the .22 version. Well worth it. In 25 you're going to be shooting 25.39s in the 560~ fps range.If you haven't ported or done any other work.

C88 is making zelos kits?
Kinda wish they make this version for the dreamline. I prefer this thimble and using tension rather than stacking 5-6 orings and a jam nut

Semantic mistake. The front nut is a solid contact point pushing down on the end of the actual liner, the fit rear and front is snug, not reliant on compressed o rings. The shroud is held in place by the compression against the front bushing by the moderator or cap.

No, not the same. The contact area on the dreamline,/crown barrel grabs a tiny area at the final 3 and half inches or so of the liner. Vs the entire liner being held firm by a contact point at the breech and the crown with no room to shift. The breech end of the liner isn't the only contact point with the c88 system

Ahhhhh....
Your talking about the FX liner-lock!
The jam nut is at the end of the barrel and accepts the moderator.
The thimble attaches to the liner-lock that holds the breech end of the barrel.
Then, yes! The thimble from C88 also includes the liner-lock.

Then it's different from the notos version. Which I prefer. To the dreamline version. The results I've gotten are the notos version is more secure and less prone to POI shifts from jostling than the dreamline system which allows 80%~ of the liner to float freely. Now if we're talking 'In a perfect world's where external stuff like wind or walking doesn't effect the rigidity of the barrel. I'll grab the dreamline every time. But, although minute, the POI in the FX can and will shift with even minor bumps

I've heard that a lot but I grab my Maverick by the barrel and it never changes POI.
Notos version (I have 4 so far) is the same, thimble-liner-jam nut.

Dreamline just dangles. The changes are minute. But I think half a minute at 50y is a tragedy. So maybe I expect too much.
Also I must have misread. I thought you were saying the zelos version had the same locking system as the fx. Nevermind

The weakest point of the dreamline and crown IMO. People with 600s and 700s feel it much harder than compacts and the 500s
