My grand total is $650. I paid $215 for the Notos, the gauge block, plenum, plenum extension, barrel kit and cut and crowned FX barrel liner makes up the rest.
Will I get it back? I don't know/care but I also wasn't ever planning on selling my 5lb(6+ with a scope) woods walker.
It's simple, not bulky feeling, and it works really well.
I also planned on modding this gun from the start. Figured if it didn't go well I wouldn't be crying too much if/when I broke it.

No, we will never recomp the R&D costs, it's just like hotrodding or any customization hobby, the money is spent in the entertainment category not the investment category.

I will likely settle on a mod/barrel I am most happy with and will sell the unused components once I'm done squeezing all the performance out of the system that I can.

I kinda like the looks of that Umarex "Zelos" if it ever gets released. It will be fun to see what the "Race Car Fans" do to those! The Notos has indeed been popular!

Umarex sells the M60 pcp pellet gun outside the US. This is the same gun as the Zelos but the Zelos is the US version.
I have one in .22 and one in .25. The main difference is the air tanks. The Zelos will have a tube while the M60 can have the tube or a bottle.
Mods for the Zelos?
Not many so far, the barrel is 600mm, it's accurate, good trigger, the only mods I've done so far are furniture related.

I like the fact that the Cocking lever is in the front. So many have the rear style these days. I prefer Front. Thanks for the info.

I’m not sure what kind of tests to do or what to expect from an adjustable transfer port.
Pressure at 2505psi. With transfer full open, it shoots the 14.3’s @ 988fps.
Below is with transfer near closed with same hammer and pressure settings.

I had a lw barrel not doing anything so I put it on this build. I threaded the front portion of the receiver and a portion of the barrel. I left the chamber area alone on the receiver. The barrel is tightened with a jam nut that also receives a cf tube. The barrel is ~20”.
What is surprising is the consistency of this little platform, even at higher power levels. The shot string below is 7 shots and it fell off the reg before the last shot.
I will probably tune it back down some with the tp adjuster.

Dave do you remember or wrote down how many turns to get the reg to around 2600 psi?

I have everything go a bottle conversion coming but I like the sleakness of stock. I guess I could figure out fittings to test it.

I ended up making a test fitting for use in the bleed screw port. I like the sleekness as well which is why I haven’t bottled mine. I need to come up with a spare reservoir to extend mine out closer to the end of the barrel.

If you don't mind and when you get time can you share the parts or what the thread of the bleed screw?

The bleed port is M5x0.8mm threads with a seal washer at the bottom.
Picture shows the test fitting I made.
