I’ll post a pic of it when it arrives.
I’d be relieved if the cam simply fits the shaft without excessive slop.

Cam ring arrived.
First picture is how it arrived ... a black finish with some surface rust.
Second pic is after some cleanup, shallow pits from the rust are more visible now.
No cracks anywhere and no signs of wear, looks serviceable. So far so good.
I'll give it a light coat of oil before tucking it away.

I think what you guys are recommending is fine for domestic shipments but just in case somebody looks at this who is making an international shipment I would drain it entirely for those. I bought 3 P35s from Krale and they all came completely empty. My 3 domestically shipped guns all came pressurized as you are saying.

Pellet probe and barrel is all you have to do.

I loaded my new GK1. Then, without flipping the "back" lever, i shot it. Now it is jammed
and dumping all air. Bummer, but my fault. Now what??

Thanks in advance

I should stick to my Brococks!!!

Mine was doing the same thing. You need to adjust the cycling screw. On the back of the handle are 2 screws. The one on the right needs to be backed out slightly. My GK-1 hasn't jammed since I made this adjustment, and I find that the tightness of the projectiles no longer matters.

Actually sun optics makes a mount for it, I have one to install on mine at some point.

No kidding....hmm, gonna have to look that up now

You are correct... received the M3 bottle and it works just fine on my MKII. Thanks everyone.

Glad your health is better so you can enjoy all the things that make you happy!
So many fun new toys on the market
With bounties starting on invasive species ...seems like a great time to pick up the hobby again
Welcome back

Good idea! For more search engine friendly results you might want to change "huban" to 'huben'.
MartinT found an alternative for easier clocking: use a 13-2,5mm 90-shore o-ring. That works for me too.

A slow refilling regulator shouldn't take beyond 10-15 seconds to stabilize. The user above me linked a great video and I would consider duplicating what you see in it.

I guess it is reg creep then. I thought reg creep would be like leaving it over night. The pressure increased within an hour. I will watch the video and see if that's the same issue.

I've never even investigated using a dive shop. My only bottle is an expired Scott air bottle. I am pretty sure nobody will fill it. I went from a hand pump to the Yong Heng filling guns to the Yong Heng filling the bottle which then fills the guns. That is still my preferred path but I bought a GX CS2 as a backup and sure enough, fill times with the Yong Heng went up about 50% and I bought a piston/connecting rod assembly I will install later this week (might be as soon as tomorrow if I can find time). I also still own 2 hand pumps as my ultimate backup. I wouldn't shoot nearly as much if I had to hand pump but at least I could shoot some. The CS2 is not really a bad way to have air. Takes about 5 minutes to fill a gun with the air filtered through the GX filter but that is a lot quicker and lower effort than a hand pump.

In this small way I may be a bit like Scott. I like figuring out what is wrong with a compressor or gun. I'd rather work on a gun than a compressor but I'd rather work on either of them than one of my vehicles or household appliances. I do all of those things when necessary. But if something starts really getting to me I find another solution. Hire it done or get rid of the source of the frustration. Or put it aside for awhile. I will be 70 later this year and I cannot work as long as I used to but I can still do things and I prefer that to sitting in front of the TV (although Youtubes on airguns are pretty enjoyable).

I'm at 8 PCPs now, 7 of which work. That seems like more than I really need so I've started talking to my son and son-in-law about their potential need for an airgun for them and my grandkids to use. The grandkids are a bit young (9, 6, 5, and 3) which also puts more demands on my kids time but I think that is where at least a couple guns will go. I figured out a small thing on the non-working PCP so I also need to find the time to do some work on it. My son accepts that airguns are effective against squirrels (he knows I've killed 72) but I think I will need to show my son-in-law but that is OK. His father is a farmer so he should be able to find us a place to hunt close to his house and I will make a road trip. It would be nice to pass the hobby on a generation or two.

I recommend replacing those two orings (valve pin and valve seat) while its apart... Also the ones not shown on the valve seat cap, one internal one external.

Click to expand...

Definitely replace both, and use silicone grease or other lubricant on the seat's O ring. It required a firm push to seat my valve seat.

I tried a 10% overfill with my HW100S, it had no affect on the velocity and gave several more shots overall. The Rat Works cylinders are great!

I usually set the cutoff pressure on the JTS Comp1 compressor that I have at a smidge over 3000 on its gauge and get 42 shots from my .22 HW100S, 3 mags. The gauges from Rat Works, Weihrauch and JTS might not all agree exactly anyways.

I know you might shouldn't but most people call 200 Bar 3000 psi interchangeably. I definitely would not want to go 3300 or higher as that would be asking for trouble from the gun's regulation setup.

Check out c88machining on ebay.com. he has the FX barrel kits.

Click to expand...

Oh nice!! I'm very familiar with the seller. Bought one of his first batches of Notos plenum kits thru here. He's a great seller, sent over the updated thread end when we noticed LDC didn't screw on well. Bet the FX kit is awesome. Found one that converts to .25, that's crazy! Link
Just couldn't stomach the $$ for the conversion and then the liner after that.

Remove it, makes bench shooting with bags much easier. I am surprised the 3D printer guys haven't tapped into stock making.

Correct here is a photo comparison between the old and new hp regulator

Wow definitely more robust. I wish an amp regulator was that simple. Lol.

Superb 90yd shot with your Vet compact, nice pic!

Picked this M60B .35 up in March, for medium-size pest control. FX 81 grain pellets @ 650 FPS hit hard. Quarter-size target circles @ 50 yards is no problem. .35 is too much for birds but form, function and accuracy of the platform is impressive. Short and heavy with 500cc 250 BAR aluminum bottle, carbon fiber replacement will lighten. Came with old style, "remove-to-fill-bottle," replaced with male foster fitting installed collar, $37 from Wes at airgunarcheryfun in Canada. WM

I have the solution to your problem I went through the same problem and figured out the issue...the problem is the bolt screw that sticks out to be able to de cock the rifle rubs on the half moon track when is charged to 4500 psi..is annoying but I took an Allen wrench to it and took it off and just have it in my rifle case if i have to decock the rifle manually I'll screw it quick decock it then take it off but that is the solution the bolt handle rubs on the frame and it does not let the hammer strike completely. Now i get full power shots at 4500 psi I put it through my chronograph and im getting 930 fps with the 230 gr texoma slugs

Click to expand...

is it really that easy just take an Allen wrench and take off the cocking bolt sticking out of the gun? im on day two with my AEA megalodon 22 inch 58 cal and when i filled it to 300 bar it wont fire it just makes a thud sound and nothing happens im assuming its valve lock but im really not sure, before taking off the cocking bolt do i need to fully degas the gun ? is there any instructions you can give me so i dont mess anything up, thanks any help will be very much appreciated

It was over shortly after that last post.
We never lost power, and I got up and went to work like normal. Very little damage at work however it was flooded there for a couple days.

Is it accurate enough and powerful enough to shoot squirrel out to 30 yards.

Yessir! These are just a few iguanas I have taken with my notos

this is an older thread but want to let Nimrod know that the HW110 barrel does fit the HW44 receiver
I would post a photo but my computer no longer allows me to save photos from my phone

I've had 2 claims in over a thousand packages I've shipped through UPS, FedEX and USPS.

The UPS claim was denied due to the item information not matching what the claim was for.

I sold an airgun, I was honest and they denied ot because I didn't include the model number.

The other claim was approved but I never used "air gun", I simply put Umarex Notos in the description and it went straight through.

YMMV

Insurance with any of these shipping companies is a straight up scam. It's like buying an extended warranty for a chainsaw that these box stores try to add on at the register (back in the day when you had people actually check you out). You'll never use it, and they will make it so complicated if you try to that you will just give up. it's straight up profit for them. If you are someone like me that ships hundreds of items a year, I don't waste my money on it. I self-insure. With the money I saved by NOT buying their insurance I can replace an item that gets lost or damaged several times over and still be money ahead. Obviously if you are someone who only ships a few boxes and you are sending a $2000 air rifle my only advice is have all your I's dotted and T's crossed and cross your fingers that something doesn't happen whether you purchased insurance or not. It will be a crap shoot either way.

I just use a cardboard box with a brick in it, with a string tied to it.

Start at about 60 yards, shoot, then pull the target towards you with the string using a rangefinder to check your progress.

I'm lazy and dumb but it works for me.
