Tuning Umarex Notos has arrived.

I cannot remove the pins holding the endcap after lots of hammering and using a punch.
How do you know which pin end has the knurled end?

Yes, the pins will come out either way but you will do less damage by striking the un-knurled ends.
Just look at both ends of the pins, the knurling is almost .5mm larger.
It takes a stout hit with a good pin driver. Just lay the gun down on a well padded table with the knurling facing down, place the driver square and give the pin a stout hit.

I will need to buy a better pin driver. I am using a nail now and it does not work.
Do you remember if the knurled ends were on the top or on the bottom?

Wow, you are right.
I was expecting the pins to go up and down.
I will check to see if I can get them out side to side.
They don't come out sideways either.
I guess they got stuck after trying to make them go up and down.

I the beginning, I always wanted a better moderator. I decided to take the barrel off and cut the moderator just ahead of the dummy pin towards the barrel. Then I cleaned up the Notos moderator to 138 mm long, I then tapped it 1/2 unf. I made an adapter for the barrel (12mm to 1/2 male unf) so I can try different moderators. When I saw how bad the barrel crown was, I faced it off and champer it again.

I don't have those tools or skils.
Otherwise I would have added an LDC adapter instead of the original moderator.

My brother bought a 12mm to 1/2 unf adapter on eBay. I think it was for QB78, he is now using Donnyfl Tanto.

I printed the insert yesterday.
Today I hammered at the Notos moderator pins for half an hour using a blunt nail as a pin driver.
For now, I gave up on removing the Notos moderator pins.
At first I had assumed that the pins are oriented top to bottom (up/down direction).
I could not get the pins out.
Then another post stated that the pins go sideways (not up/down).
I tried to drive them out sideways, no luck.
I guess my neighbors better like the noise.
