Notos New to HAM and Airsystems but an old gun guy

[RetLE303]

Hello all,

I recently purchased a Notos and went with the GX CS41 compressor. I just ordered a fill whip from amazon and a oil/water seperator. I should be getting everything in the next week or so but was wondering what else I will need for the initial break in and set up. I plan to do a bunch of mods on the notos from various online searches. Stock, optics, maybe a 3D Pic rail set up for a bipod. I have been involved in firearms all my life. Recently retired LE and Army Vet. Shot competitively and combat most of my life. Air systems never really appealed to me until recently. So of course, im not getting addicted. Looking forward to chatting up with many fine airgunners here and as always. Be safe.

Welcome to the HAM Community!

Sounds like you have an interesting project planned. Please keep us informed about progress...

Thank you all for the welcome and ideas !

FL22 I forgot to mention I ordered 3 stealth Maple Custom 10rd mags. Based on most reviews and sucess, it was them or Carm. I opted to try some Canadian products. Im sure Carm is every bit as good. I now see why there is such a following of air guns that are catching on everywhere. I plan to eventually do the plenem kit once I catch up on the initial costs. Lol (Maybe next month after I get a few hundred rounds thru it)

Hateful McNasty: Pleasing the wife is the next step. She wants a SA pistol version for just plinking. Ive always hated CO2 stuff as I feel its a waste of money. But I am finding it is pretty hard to find a pistol size (standard) in PCP. Maybe the Sig ones.

HAM editor, Thanks ! Will do ! My plan next is to build a nice wood trap filled with rubber mulch. If there isnt a thread on that already, would be great to look into !

Stay safe everyone !

CO2 kinda faded out here awhile back . Not sure hat it wasn't fun but just CO2 powerlet hassle got old.. lol

Wow, these are pretty nice. And at a great deal. I probably should have specified SA = Semi-Automatic.

She has really-really bad arthritis and can't use most cocking/charging mechanisms.

But I really appreciate you looking up these for me !

Thanks !

Glad you're here! Probably gonna have to get a CO2 gun for the wife I'm afraid. Some folks really love the blowback ones for plinking.

Thank you ! Yes, She did like the Notos without the stock but still hard to hold when you add optics.

More than likely I will get a CO2 pistol from Sig. I wonder if anyone here has any experience with the electonic ones? Maybe battery operated version would be good enough for full-auto fun?

Bone Stock and unfired. I scooped up a IL Truglo 1-6 with caps,mount and magnification EZ ring brand new at gun show for 125. While its primarily set up for 223/308 I couldnt pass up the deal to make it work for up to 50-75 yard fun.

I still need to measure the Maple custom 10rd mags to check the fit but at 1.4 inch I think it will clear it. I can alway move it up a picatinny notch too. Im thinking of doing the folder modification. Maybe a top picatinny mount bi-pod system?

Thoughts?

Well.. looks like you may as well stick with another notes for her.. serms it's the better priced sa pistol . Like hatsan volix or sorti are over $300 ($390+/-) and that notos has a big following on forums for user questions and support type help .

I will keep that in mind for sure after letting her try it out. I think she is stuck on semi auto function and not having to charge it each time. I am an old bolt gun guy, so throwing a lever each time never bothered me. I believe in the mindset that you make the shot count better with bolt guns. (one shot one kill)- Was my training motto.

Though I tested that when I built my AR308 with mostly precision parts. Got to admit I got it pretty darn close to similar accuracy once I got it tuned right.

welcome to the addiction

OKAY. Finally got a few things organized and came in this weekend. So still unifired. Working on GX pump set up today and hopefully will get this dialled in this week. Heres a few upgrades so far.

Truglo 1-6X24 Illuminated red/green with BDC. Great deal at gun show which came with covers/one piece mount.
$ 125. Couldnt pass that up. The eye relief is just right with the 6X as close to the magazine well as possible.

3 Maple Customs Stealth mags. 10rd $24 each plus shipping. Pretty quick shipping from Canada. They look solid

Inspire Precision's molded handguard with rails. Solid fit. Take your time putting them on and dont overtighten. $60 with shipping.

I will be researching sidepods next. Also ordered a AR folder part from Specprecision. If anyone is looking for the leaper/UTG and waiting on backorder, Specprecision has a knock off for $34. Looks as solid as the name brand Law Tactical version. I will eventually get the Buck rail adapter. I have a SB tactical pistol brace already to slap on, or I may go with a minamilist stock. All depends on the sidepod position hoping it doesnt interfere.

Let me know your thoughts and opinions !!

Due to my recent experiences with leaks, I humbly suggest a 72h pressure test.

Will do. I will air it up and let it sit. Should I do 3000 psi? I know it can go up to 3650 but I think I would just do 3k or maybe 3500 to start max?

I hand pump all mine and I always fill to max pressure. As I understand it gauges can be slow to react especially when filling from a tank then it needs to settle.

There are several members here who have a Notos and use a compressor perhaps one of them would be better suited to assist.

For me regardless if it took extra time or steps, I would have to test it at maximum pressure.

It’s better for you that it fail inside of the return window. Put it through its paces hard, at least one can of pellets (500) is what I do.

Awesome advise. Thanks !

I used my new compressor. I went to 200 BAR as I felt filling it to Max might be off with a new gauges and all. I noticed the compressor set to 200 but the Notos was just a little shy of that. I will wait the 72 and see if it holds pressure. Do the tests Wed and then refil it to around 245-250 BAR.

I dont have a hand pump, as I felt for the money, might as well do it the easier way. So far, so good.

Cant wait to test it out. Gotta build a rubber mulch trap in the next day or so. Or use sand filled 5 gallon buckets.

Sounds good, as far as the hand pump goes I just do it for health reasons.

Don’t be afraid to not spend a lot of money on your pellet trap. I typically use cardboard boxes stuffed with old pillows and what not with a good metal back plate. That way I can staple or stick targets to the front of it.

 

[Hateful McNasty]

Buckets stuffed with old jeans do me on the cheap and does all I ask of them as a trap .


I got a cut out plastic 55gallon drum I like as well at the 100y spot ..

A guy at agn made some nice plastic drum ones up with good pictures of them to look at ..

(The link ...
65 gal pickle barrels and FT/EFT targets. )

When you got fresh barrels to start that make up nice traps / backstops ..
