the prices on ebay have gone through the roof , saw a jet 2 for 399 the yesterday..
Excellent thread Paul! Smart thinking, thank you 🙏. I thought that these were regulated...like the Notos...am I wring in thinking that?
I bought a Jet 2 last week thru pyramid, it’s a nice light little gun. The hand grip is a little thick for my hands but not bad. I was test shooting it at 13 yards and could not get a good group with crosman 13.7 or fx hybrids 22 I bought some h&n barracudas 18.54 grains. Same thing still horrible groups. So I opened her up took the barrel out and cleaned it real good, there was some brown junk in the barrel. Also I put one shim behind the hammer spring. The trigger is adjustable but I didn’t touch it. The guns really easy to work on. The shim didn’t really do much. With 13.7 I was getting a high of 687 low of 631 avg of 664. Once I cleaned her up I put ATN on her and resighted with that and now the groups are acceptable.
For comparison purposes, here are the specs for the Umarex Notos and the Hatsan Jet 1 in .22, so we're comparing Granny Smith's to Red Delicious!

The overall length of the Notos is not given, and the barrel length does not specify is the actual rifled barrel is 11.75" or does that length include the intigrated moderator? On the specs page, buth the Notos and Jet have the Loudness listed as 3-Medium. Not sure what this is worth because the videos say the Notos is very quiet and the Jet is quite loud! The Notos is regulated to 1900 psi, the Jet is NOT regulated. This would make you think the Jet should be able to make more power since you would have 3625 psi available from the start! If the hammer spring is tunable, you should be able to find a sweet spot that would make decent power... Other than what i just mentioned, the specs are very similar.
DJ, those specs all came from the PA website, so take them with a grain of salt! Especially the weight, experience has shown Hatsan's are typically the tanks and much heavier than anything produced by Umarex! I'm sur both of these are mostly plastic, so I woud suspect the weight to be comparable. The PA also lists the same 700 FPS for both lead-free and lead pellets for the Jet, the Notos states the same FPS, but states the pellet weight as 12 grain, which is most likely lead-free! I would suspect lead pellets to have a much lower velocity.

On the specs page, buth the Notos and Jet have the Loudness listed as 3-Medium. Not sure what this is worth because the videos say the Notos is very quiet and the Jet is quite loud! The Jet 1 is listed as having a 40cc aircylinder, but the capacity of the Notos is not mentioned anywhere on PA's page, but I'm assuming it's the same or pretty close, maybe less since it's regulated. The Notos is regulated to 1900 psi, the Jet is NOT regulated. This would make you think the Jet should be able to make more power since you would have 3625 psi available from the start!

PA claims they will be in stock 12/27, but we all knows how that goes! I am interested in hearing your thoughts and experience with the Notos when you find one!
