Recently bought a Notos as it seemed pretty popular here. It's honestly not a bad gun for the price. I have been having issues however since the first day. It will not reliably load pellets from the magazine. It jams badly. The first day I tried it, first pellet, went to chamber it, and it got stuck about a 1/3 of the way (lever forward). At this point I was unable to get the magazine to release, and sadly had to bench it for the rest of the outing until I could figure a way to get it out. I had to go buy a long enough .22 cleaning rod to try to get it to release by going through the front of the barrel. It took a lot of finagling, but finally got it out. Tried again and same result. Ordered a couple of Carm magazines and tried them with same result. Something seems like it's not aligning correctly. I can get the Carm mags to function if I "wiggle" them in all directions as I am trying to chamber the pellet. Not ideal at all. The single shot magazine functions fine. Nothing looks obviously wrong visually. I do notice that the bolt (?) when manually cycling ( the part that pushes the pellet) seems to drop down a little when first going forward, and wondering if this is the problem. When all the way back, I can wiggle it a bit if that makes sense. Any ideas? Trying to avoid having to send it back if it's an easy fix, I'm pretty good at repairing.
Not a great pic, but this is where I suspect the issue is, as the bolt drops just a hair once it first starts to protrude.
