    FX Where to buy o rings

    I had really good luck with Bagnall & Kirkwood in the UK for response and shipping to the US on a set of o-rings for my Notos. Couldn't find anyone else who had them. They show FX spares.

    Umarex Notos leaking through the barrel.

    Got the Notos running again..."what a pain...lol!" The o-ring kit from the UK showed up with no problems (I was a little concerned about that). I used (5) of the o-rings and that solved the problem. The poppet value wasn't the problem nor the regulator. The o-ring on the threaded piece on the...

    Umarex Notos leaking through the barrel.

    Well...(deep hole in the ground), I tried ordering a complete set of o-rings for the Notos here in the states. No one seemed to offer them except a outfit in the UK. $34 US bucks, soooo we'll see how that turns out (if I actually receive them). Crossing my fingers on that one??

    Umarex Notos leaking through the barrel.

    Thanks to everyone. I can now take this Notos apart and put it back to gather just about blindfolded...lol! I did order a poppet valve from Mable and got a couple of sets of barrel o-rings coming. Pretty cheap stuff in the "scheme of things". I pulled the air tube apart again and adjusted...

    Umarex Notos leaking through the barrel.

    Just finished going through it again. I'm leaning toward the poppet value being the issue. It will now air up to 3,000psi and slowly leaks down. Gonna go ahead and order one from Maple. Thanks for the info guys.

    Umarex Notos leaking through the barrel.

    All I could get out of them was send the gun in. There smith would determine what was wrong with it. Also they won't sell parts. One of their techs last week said it was a three year warranty. I was suspicious of that comment. I thought it was for a year only. I talked to them again this...

    Umarex Notos leaking through the barrel.

    Good Morning, My Notos is leaking air through the barrel. It won't take a charge. Anyone out there with ideas to what the problem is?? I've had it apart several times and tried somethings to no avail. I talked to Umarex and got nowhere. I've decided it will become a tomato stake if I...

    Umarex Another Notos question?

    Problem for me is, I've shot competition for 62 yrs and have shot hundreds of thousands of rounds. I don't hear so well anymore...lol!!

    Umarex Another Notos question?

    After mulling this over, I'm kinda leaning toward a regulator problem. Attached is some early 3-shot groups I shot at 25 yds with the JSB 15.89 gr Hades pellets. I'm kinda ruling the pellet problem out at this point. Thanks again.

    Umarex Another Notos question?

    I have not messed with the hammer spring adjuster, but I will take a look at it. The first shots are kinda loud. It takes several shots before it settles down. I'll probable try a new reg. Thanks for the info guys. 20PPC

    Umarex Another Notos question?

    My Notos does not shoot decent (5) shot groups at 25 yds until the air tube PSI gets down to around 2,600PSI. It then shoots (5) shot groups of around .5". Above the 2,600 PSI it throws quite a few flyers. The speed when it's above 3,000 PSI is around 740 fps. At 2,600 PSI the speed is just...

    FX Newbie Caliber Question

    Stay with the .25 for small game hunting with the JSB 25.39 gr Diabolo (the most accurate pellet I've found). I have thousands of rounds through my .25 caliber FX Wildcat shooting ground squirrels. I shot more than (400) pellets in one day this season. I have (6) eight shot rotary magazines...

    Different types of Pellets

    FWIW...my FX .25 Caliber Wildcat shoots the JSB 25.39 gr Diablo pellets the best (extremely accurate). I have over 7,000 pellets through it (almost all hunting), and have never changed. Does a number on Sage Rats (GS's). I've made shots to over a 100 yds numerous times with that set-up. I...

    Umarex New Notos arrived

    https://4hunterspk.com/product/jsb-hades-pellets-22-cal-15-89-gr/ I've had the best luck with the JSB Hades 15.89 gr pellets for accuracy in my Notos. A number of three shot .2" groups at 25 yds.

    FX Do FX PCP generally hold an air charge well in storage?

    I've had my FX .25 cal Wildcat for over 6-years. Over 5,000 pellets through it. It's never leaked or cause any kind of problems. I took it out for the first time since last April a couple of days ago to the range with my 40X also. I always try to leave the pressure around the 150 bar when in...

    As a dealer I want tell you the biggest hurdle people have with PCP's

    My $.02 into this discussion. A number of years ago I bought several surplus SCBA (66 cu. ft firefighter tanks) for $50 a piece. They had (9 years still left on the manufacturers date), and I've had them recerted once since then ($35/each) at my local dive shop. They charge $18 a refill to...

    PCP Fill Calculator

    Matt, You are probably correct. I tried another tank calculator and it showed just over 18 refills. My refill hose is 12”. Thanks for your info. 20PPC

    PCP Fill Calculator

    Stubbers, I use the Pyramyd PCP Fill Caculator (always wondered how accurate it was??). I use 66 cubic foot SCBA tanks filled to 4500 PSI. MY FX has a 300cc tank. I fill it to 3300 PSI and refill it at 150 BAR. I get 48 shots (six mags) before refilling. The Pyramyd Caculator shows 19...

    Snowpeak Snowpeak M16

    Another vote for the Discovery scopes. Clarity is very good on their ED models. Even the others are okay for under $200 bucks. I've had several for air guns and liked them. The best for my eyes has been the Discovery ED 3-15x50. Exceptional scope for around $355. Wes at Airgunarcheryfunstore...

    30 minute SCBA tank

    FWIW, I have several 66 cubic foot ( :45 duration) SCBA surplus firefighter tanks. They are still legal in manufacturers date and recert date. A reputable shop will not recharge them unless they are. I get about 800 shots out of a fully charged to 4500 PSI bottle on my FX .25 caliber...
