Nice can't wait to try this, I hate filling air tubes every other mag lol. The only knock on the notos for me is the shot count and well pretty sure you won't have that issue.

 

[KatoKevin454]

Hey Brian, you have the Info and how I did it, you won't regret it....

 

[Ranchibi]

Dang Kev! That looks like a very Mini RTI Prophet!

 

[Chukar60]

Is it an optical illusion or is your bottle pushing up on your moderator?
Other than that, I like the idea of higher shot count.

 

[L.Leon]

While the shot count is increased, it doesn’t look as light and lithe as the stock setup and you lose the ability to hand pump, which is one of the attributes of a small platform. No HPA compressor necessary.

thanks guys, it weighs 7.1 lbs with scope, the gun itself is not modified so it can be reverted back to a stock Notos in just a few Minutes,
yes the bottle is touching the moderator and it does push up on it ever so slightly, I had to resight in the scope, but it still very accurate, I'm going to see if there are skinnier bottles, this one is 61mm in Diameter, if I could find a 58mm that would be prefect, or grind a little plastic off the moderator, also the bottle and regulator are not perfectly straight, there is a slight wobble that can't be helped, fortunately it doesn't affect the guns performance.
and I don't use a hand pump, I'm Disabled, so a compressor or SCBA filled is necessary for me, I modified the gun for my needs so you can leave yours stock, if it works for you, why change it, Remember you are free to modify or not it's up to you.

I like to know where can you purchase the drop block from or part number?

there you go, I found that just about all the carbon bottles are 61mm diameter, at least on Amazon, maybe someone has a skinnier one out there.

 

[Dr. Kralenstein]

What about using a 13ci paintball tank?

that's up to you what you want to use, but 61mm diameter is max diameter you can use, smaller diameter is preferable.

I just tossed that idea out there because they are smaller diameter. I'm leaving my notos stock... for as long as I can lol.

looking at this conversion regulator / drop block, Wheres the PLENUM
As folks start using these ... what kind of power are you able to extract ?

Hey Scott, as I mentioned in the GTA thread, I knew there would be a loss of FPS because of loss of plenum space, to try to make up for this I increased the Regulator pressure, this gives me 730fps with 15.89gn hades pellets, which is ok, but I plan on doing at little improvement on increasing plenum space in the block, I think I could drill out some of the pathway without hampering structural integrity, but for now 730fps is enough power to take small critters.

 

[Stubbers]

Turned a beauty into a beast, but if it suits you then beast it up!

 

[Dogowsky]

What's your shot count with that massive bottle? Great mod with less filling is awesome. Nice setup.

 

[rdpjr6504]

KatoKevin454 do you think this will work to add plenum- would use a smaller length bottle- adds 2 3/4 inch to length.

 

[rdpjr6504]

Went ahead and added plenum. gun weight went from 5 lb 12.7 ounce to 5 lb 13.6 ounce. FPS only went from 770.997 to 784.121. I think I may need to drill out plenum where the reg pin pusher is to open up plenum. Did not adjust hammer spring so may try that also after drilling out plenum. Only added 2 3/4 inch to bottle length as you can see in images. Any suggestions ?

The 700cc bottles are skinnier than the 580cc.
