Notos again. I sold my first one for no reason. I bought another one because I regretted it. Both guns were and are awesome

I have both and the Jet has sat in the safe since I first tried it. The Notos is way better

The Notos is much better, and I have 2 of them.
I do have a Jet 2 in ,177, but only because the Notos does not come in .177.

I did my research on both. Didn't buy either, I really don't need airgun #15 but the Notos won buy a land slide

How does it do as just a pistol? Thinking about getting a notos but use it as a pistol only.

I bought the same drop block for the Notos.
Unfortunately the drop block threads (M16x1) on the receiver side are not deep enough.
What did you do to the drop block to make it fit the Notos?

I cheated... sent to Firewalker. Soon as the gun came in, I knew I wanted a bottle on it and didnt want to mess with actually doing it so sent off to him straight away. Not sure what he did with it to make it fit.

MAJIC!!!
Actually, there is a little more to it than that. You need a 16X1mm bottoming tap, most taps are tapered or plug taps, neither will work. You will need to tap until it stops against the back wall to get the taper past the last needed thread. Failure to do so will roll the last thread.
Once the threads have been cut, the air block needs to be mated to the drop block and checked for proper clocking. This is where it gets messy and people make compromises where I will not. the drop block must sit flush to the air block, no gap, they must also be square to each other.
Finally, the o'ring must be fully seated between the air block and drop block so that the o'ring does not get blown out.
I clock them by chucking up the drop block, squaring it up in the chuck and face it flush to 90°. I check the clocking at every thousandths and then use emery to flatten the face and bring it into perfect clocking position.
The reason for this is cantilever. It's NOT our friend, the air block is not stout and I am waiting for the day someone knocks their gun over and the airblock stem snaps off and the tank goes for a ride! The fitting is plenty strong when the stresses are pulling straight but if leverage is able to act on a smaller area, like a bonded washer (please dont do this), the stresses on the fitting can be enormous!
Good luck!

Send it to Firewalker and you want regret it. I had him trick 2 of mine out and they are awesome.I could never do what you said. That drop block is already for sale

I would definitely say the Notos. It’s just all around a better platform. The aftermarket parts being made for it is amazing! It’s a great lil gun.

My neighbor bought and returned the Jet2 and from what I seen of it and the “pattern”(not group) that it printed I would not give you a nickel for a case of them.
Sight unseen the notos 100% and that’s just going off this forum
