Thank you Mike. Nothing wrong with tinkering and customizing. This is what many enjoy.

But for me personally, tight on time and careful on my budget, you articulated why I have not modded my Notos. What is sobering is seeing FS postings on highly modded Notos and the significant loss of $. For those with plenty of time and/or $, and find this enjoyable, I'm sure it is a worthwhile endeavor.

And yes, I've been impressed by many of the Notos full-on customization projects.

I think this thread is BS. I'll bet $ to donuts that the GK1s sold in Canada are the same sold everywhere else. The GK1 is totally adjustable for power. There is no reason they should be different from an engineering point of view. It also looks like becoming the 52nd State may be very good idea!

The only thing that’s damaged is the lever itself?

yes, the lever and as one can see the link, is pretty worn down.

I have given a few of these away to family and friends, But the one I am playing with , The big plus is the light weight, Installed a 25 cc plumin a FX 380 barrel and the trigger kit, No bottle yet, Ha, I took the red dot and the swampfox off to test the accuracy of the FX barrel, Still trying to keep it light I installed a Arkin EPL-4 FFP 6x25-50 scope.Its still a fun light weight gun but not impressed with the FX barrel, May try and polish the barrel and do a lap of the end of the barrel to get rid of the sharp edge, Might help, may not we will see,,, LOL we know why the Notos is called a money pit, No matter what you spend on it its still a 300 dollar gun, A 300 dollar fun gun, Its a pellet gun unsure of the FXbarrel but my range is 50 yards , So no matter what pellets will be the king in accuracy at that range , I am shooting the 18gr pellet's at about 800 fps and the 15 gr a little faster.
Unless you are just playing around and want to tinker with a gun its a good deal for a new guy, But for the same money you can buy a used Veteran, Vulcan, Uragan, Cricket.
That will make this built up Notos look like red Ryder BB gun..

That's pretty much what I'f found, short of being crushed the bend skirts work well, some have said that the air pressure pushes them out in the barrel. I'm tending to believe that.

Pellets are made made from pure lead and very soft. Most pellets have skirts larger than the head diameter. So when they enter the barrel, the skirts are swaged to the barrel sealing in the propellent HPA propelling them. If the pellet damage is relatively light, they will still fly straight. Severe damaged pellets will not.

I have a CONCRETE boat that is super stable and floats great .... It is easily towed behind a compact car or truck.

ONE of those statements is a lie / untruth
Do you know which one ?

I once spent the summer working on a commercial fishing boat (halibut long-liner) made out of concrete but one would be hard pressed to easily tow it behind a car or truck, compact or not.

My Titan 5-25x56 replaced my Arken Gen2 7-35x56. The Arken was a bit blurry no matter how I adjusted it. The Titan was very clear off the bat.

.22. I have to say, that's definitely better looking then their other offerings. Not bad.

Thank you. I bought an athlon helos gen 2 and love it thus
far.

My buddy and I share the same rifle (we split the cost). Together we chose the helos gen 2 6-24x56 for our rifle four years ago. Neither one of us has any regrets at all. I was afraid I might not like locking turrets at first. It didn't take long for me to really appreciate that feature once I started using the scope. Thanks for the feedback dnye1986.

Impressive!

@gfmiller58 Nice speed with that 700mm barrel. I might have to source out a longer barrel as well for my M60B in the future if I can't get the speed I need. Thanks for the info.

OldVet · Friday at 12:45 AM

Anyone have one of these springers ?
Mine is a .177 I found the Crosman PIRANHA 10.5 grain pellets fit very snug in the breech , and have some good accuracy.

gfmiller58 · Friday at 12:43 AM

H&N HP2, 34 grain at 980 fps from Uragan3 with 700mm barrel.

How did u bleed air please

Just loosen the pressure gauge a small amount until you can hear air escape. Leave it to drain. You may have to loosen it a bit more during the process. NEVER UNDO IT ALL THE WAY WHILE THERE IS PRESSURE IN THE SYSTEM.

The odd thing is he didn't have issues with the new pellets until he pulled it apart and cleaned it. So either the newer pellets liked a fouled barrel, or a really, really clean one. What am I missing here.

nxmless · Friday at 12:32 AM

Thanks for the share!

Spilt it where the yellow arrow points. The reg adjustment screw is inside.
Mine was leaking by the small hole and I had to replace all the o-rings inside the reg.

Today I was left unsupervised. So I polished and heat blued the front stock screws on my TX200 mk3. They were shiny silver with all the original blue worn off long ago. They came out looking pretty good. Only took two tries.

OldVet sure would like to see some full pics of that beautiful airgun.

The lack of sensitivity to distorted pellets in that video at 10 meter is impressive. Now do that again at 25 and 50 yards, with round nose pellets...

I know the rules say I cant ask about building a moderator. I plan on printing and selling some airgun moderators in the future but I need to find a special adapter and I cant find what I need. Male 3/4x16 to female 1/2x20. Any help would be appreciated.

So, are you saying to not use the auto shutoff feature, to watch the needle and open the bleed valve when you get to your desired pressure?

Yes. I only fill tanks - no one way valves. I monitor tank pressure, turn off the tank valve, and then open the bleed screw on the compressor. I don't use auto shut-off because I don't want the compressor to stop under load.
