that looks like the same cylinder as a gauntlet gen 2.. and I like the looks better than the gauntlet stock..
did you get the o ring in for the barrel on the umarex notos?

or maybe hatsan blitz cylinder on yours?

I have the .25 Varmint as well, I have dropped a 3k regulator and CF Bottle on mine but that limited my fpe too much.

I love my .25 varmint. I've had semis and sold them. I have had zero problems from my Varmint. I wonder why the bolt stuff works so so much better and the semis are a constant source of repair.

My HP semiauto works perfectly but I pulled it apart and studied the mechanism.

It's a piston driven blowback BUT has an adjustable transfer port... Hmmmmm

If you open the TP, more air is used to push the pellet out and we ALL want more fps & fpe!

I simply blocked off air from getting to the piston and tuned my gun to use an open TP with 90% restriction on the piston.

I’m probably gonna switch mine to bolt action. It’s very pressure sensitive and that spring cycling noise just drives me crazy. But I will say it’s pretty accurat,when it cycles.

I bought my SS off another member here. His was also in bolt action. According to him that is the way it came (bolt action) from the dealer. Along with the equipment to change over to SA. Bending the springs on the mags is the best way I have found to repair the mags. I don't know why they don't make their HP mags like they do for the Terminator which are made from aluminum. I have had 0 issues with those mags.

I would disagree that the Notos is a better gun than the SS. I have shot the Notos and it is a decent gun for the money but underpowered for hunting anything but birds and chipmunks IMO. The Notos has many plastic parts which helps keep its weight down, but 700 fps doesn't work for my use. Triggers on the Notos can be improved easily though and the left hand lever is nice for a lefty like me. Overall I shoot an AEA everyday and an AEA is the first rifle I reach for also.

On my Notos I installed the eBay plenum and turned up the hammer spring and it's now shooting at 850 fps. But I also installed the drop block and a 38L carbon fiber bottle and 2200 psi regulator to achieve this so it's definitely not stock. Also use Maple products Canada 15 shot mega mags for worry free feeding of ammo. Trigger tuned down to 16 oz as well. Man the Notos is accurate! So it's now a $450.00 gun......Had to make it my own.
