What a bummer. I had been reading others saying the Crosman barrels were good enough there was no reason getting a LW for them. I was hoping... Thanks for the update!

Why do I suddenly want an NP03 in 177? Sigh.... glad they are unobtanium right now! :D

Looks really nice! Thanks for including a part list for how you got to where you are at! I'm in the process of slowly piecing together what I want for mine.

I had to go to PA and look in the refurbs to see what was $250 to identify the gun, haha. For any other noobs interested: it is an Air Venturi Avenger

I know this is true of other air guns, but since this is my first foray into PCPs (and modern AGs in general), I wanted to emphasize how quiet and indoor friendly it is. Shooting 10m indoors at a mulch pellet trap, I would equate the noise level to less than a novel dropping onto a table. With...

Haha, this cracked me up. It is also hilarious how just out of the loop I was. My only previous experience with AGs was as a kid with a 397... And a tin would last me a while! My new Notos just devoured the tin with no warning. On a related note, I now understand the appeal of bottle guns with...

I'm going to have to see if my gun will eat the CPHPs that everyone talks about. Even if it doesn't, the cost of ammo is so much less than any powder burner it doesn't feel bad. The only problem is how much easier it is to shoot way more rounds!

... that I would be shooting so much after getting into airguns! I thought I was set for a while with 500 pellets. Where did they all go?! It hasn't even been a month! I guess I need to place an order... Haha Seriously, though - it is awesome fun.

This is all excellent info. Thanks all for taking the time to share!

My new one just came in. Too fun! Can't wait to see what you do with yours. When I get around to poking at mine, I'll make a thread.

Excellent info! Thank you! Video was super helpful, by far the best I've seen for my crash course. Thanks!

I've been trying to learn about slugs (through the forum, videos, other sites) and feel like I keep finding very specific information about specific slugs or guns. Does anyone know of any "here are the basics" kind of guides out there? From what I've read: Slugs like to be fired faster than...

At first I read that as "extensively" and nodded. Then I realized it was "expensively" and really nodded... haha. I've been combing through parts and setting up a build list for my 1322 that is on the way, and it is going to be a pricey enterprise! Spread out over time it will be fun...

I was recently in your exact situation. I was keeping an eye open for a used Prod, then the Notos was available with a 13% discount. I got the Notos, iron sights, and pellets shipped to my door for $300 - less than the price of most used Prods I was finding. I added a cheap hand pump to the mix...

I just made one of the rubber mulch + plastic tote traps. Super impressed! Thanks everyone for sharing ideas. I currently have it lined with cardboard, but I'm going to swap that out for carpet to see how that changes things.
