Give or take, again I spent about 100 on a bottle cause I lucked out, could've been $250 instead. And none of this is mentioned having someone port the gun for ya. If you can't do it yourself that is. I believe @Firewalker charges anywhere between 300 and $350

After all the upgrades to your Notos, other than increased shot count (bottle) how does the Notos compare to the Atomic and Pathfinder you have used? Is it as solid and rugged? Will you get that money back if you decide to sell it?

I've never actually fired or held a BRK.

The barrel on my Notos was really good, it wasn't pellet picky and the regulator was working amazingly right out of the box.

I can tell you that the Notos doesn't feel like any refined or polished pcp when you hold it, ot feels like a truck gun you can just toss around. It honestly reminded me of my old AEA HP Assassin, but with a much better triger, poop cycle, and accuracy.

Due to the compactness before modding it , the Notos reminded me of the Leshiy Classic. But that's about where it stops.

I actually traded it with a member on here for his custom g2 .30 SL along with mags and ammo. Drastic change from 20fpe to 100+fpe but it's a slug slinger, so I'd say I got my money back. I also got a GK1 that just arrived and that's what I am going to use for my up close. Also sold the M3 managed to replace that with a K1 .22, just gotta tune it for slugs it likes.

I built an old, vintage flat track motorcycle several years ago.
Could I ever get my money out of it?
Probably not.
Would I sell it if I could?
Probably not.
After winning 4 checkerd flags Ive become attached to it.
I imagine the same holds true with building a custom, one of a kind airgun!
Its hard to put a price on blood, sweat, tears, and ... victory!

@L.Leon - to sort of answer your question on comparing the two...
I have a modded Notos($690) and a BRK Sniper XR(that's as close as I've been to an Atomic or Ranger, but I think they are mostly the same).
The Sniper is definitely a better gun in all respects but one, weight. Having said that, accuracy is probably about even.
Stock, the Notos was very accurate but couldn't quite shoot as far as the Sniper, it can now that it's been modded with a longer slug liner.
The Sniper also has a much better trigger, hands down. Unless your used to a crappy 10/22 trigger, the Notos is tough to shoot smoothly when compared to a BRK. Luckily for me I've shot a bunch of black pwder guns with what felt like 20lb triggers, so it's not bad in comparison.
The Notos is definitely not as refined a gun as the Sniper, but I'm not throwing the Sniper in the truck because of that like I am the Notos.

Not sure if there is a better location. If so, tell me. However, I designed this up while Firewalker was upgrading my notos. Here is a picatinny mount that clamps around the barrel and .22L bottle with two 3mm screws and nyloc nuts. I tested it out yesterday with my pic to arca adapter and arca bipod. Plenty sturdy. I used proto pasta CF filament.

Update! Actually love this gun bone stock! I have a wicked rat problem living in the City, & Jesus these things don't have a chance! Only upgrads thus far are on the the optics end. But this thing is perfect for dispatching rodents quick, quietly, & efficiently! That being said I may keep this for just that alone, as well as it's lightness my Girl has no problem tossing it into a back pack.. (Oakley Kitchen Sink) that is until I get the folding stock adapter... I actually ended up grabbing an FX Dreamlite compact in 25 cal for my "power" needs for now.. FX.. I know.. but the sale allowed me to snack one up for just under a Grand.. I do like it, but modding FX is like throwing $ down a rabbit whole lol. Still loving this Notos for what it is. As well it's good to know that I can always add more power & customize it when I'd like.. winter is coming up so plenty of time for that! Just would like to thank everyone here who's helped me out via advice, support & most importantly, your time. I'll be back here shortly after some more upgrades with new updates on progress. Thank you all! -SF

Firewalker,
I tried to send this in a private message but it would not let me. I was just curious how you removed the piece from you stock (the bar that goes from the bottom of the grip back and up to the "tube"? Did you simply use a hack saw and sand paper??. Love my notos but not a fan of that piece and want it removed. Just don't want it to look like poop....lol

Band saw, file smooth and flame stipple to match the texture.

You weren't lying...lol. thanks again!

Firewalker said:

I hit 800fps with CPHP's with no porting at all with C88's FX barrel kit today!

WHOOT!! He is also the bloke that's shooting 18gr JSB's at 950 from his Notos.

It's a good day to own a Notos!

What a awesome notos! Well done. What is the side lever handle mod you did?

WoodWelder said:

The drilling of the "restricter plate" is a small part of it, doing this will give a gain of around 75 to 100 fps max.....I'm more familiar with the PP750 as I own one. The real power comes from drilling out the brass valve seat hole larger.

This is a better video showing the restricter plate......You will notice he doesn't make any mention of the brass valve seat.

Hey there WoodWelder!
I own a .22 PP750L (which is even more like a notos than the "regular" PP750).
I'm surprised no-one on this thread followed up on that insight about openingthe brass valve seat... would you care to expand on that?

I've done pretty much everything else* on my 750L and the results were outstanding in my opionion:
~26 shots @ 35joules with 115Bar on the reg
During the tests I had it doing 41J with 140Bar but the shot count was "meh"

Well anyway, I'd love to keep tuning/upgrading/learning with this little gun and since I am getting a bottle, i could probably aim for higher energy shots again, so please, tell me more about that valve seat mod

*Performance mods i've done so far:
-Ports opened to 4-5mm
-Using a 350mm barrel (FX pellet liner)
-Huma-reg
-C88-air Plenum + Plenum extension (almost more plenum than unregged reservoir at this point xD)

Soon-to-be:
-Bottle (300cc? Still need to measure some parts to make sure everything fits snuggly)
-Drop-bloc from Brazil (Duka air arms). I like this one cause it keeps the D61cm bottles really close to the barrel. I hate the low hanging bottles)
-Externally adjustable reg from china (cause it stays flush with the drop bloc and bottle)
