Umarex Notos. Initial Impressions/Observations

[Rat Sniper (AKA: PaulT58)]

I ordered from OP twice and both time I was not happy with the long delivery times. Admittedly I am very impatient.

There was a time during COVID when their shipping times were horrible!  Before that, they were always pretty quick.  They are getting much better, the last time I ordered from them, about 3 months ago, they shipped the next day!

Bummer!  I did send an e-mail the New England Airguns and asked if it would fit the Notos.  Not sure they'd have on one hand to test, but hopefully then will respond...

That’s where I got mine from originally for my prod so I’ll try it anyway and see if it’ll fit. It was pricey from what I remember

That would be awesome, thank you!  New England Airguns is pricey compated to OP, which is still higher than what it's listed for on the UTG web page!  It's only $18.97, but I don't know how you actually place an order direct from them!

Hey Mike,

Before you tear your Prod apart, I just received a reply from New England Airguns stating they had tried that adapter on the Notos and it DID NOT work!  So, as much as I appreciate you tearing things apart to test fit, I think we may have already gotten the answer!  Too bad, that would have been pretty cool addition to the Notos!

I was hopeing you'd see this before you did anything!  At this point, I'm not even sure the Notos is the standard AR size either Mil-Spec or Commercial!  Although my AR wrench does fit the collar nut on the Notos, but I wonder about the htreaded tube since the sling ring was a good bit larger than the Notos tube!

Maybe if it gains popularity maybe someone like BuckRail will make something

Seems to be BR has created a profitable niche primarily catering to these short carbines. If I were him, the Notos would be getting a lot of attention. Especially with how many people on this forum having recently bought one.

 This stock on my 362, was for airsoft, and was a smidge larger thread ID than a typical AR thread, I wrapped the AR thread with a couple tight wraps of electrical tape, and it snugs up firm and does not loosen while pumping etc.

The pump handle looks massive on that rig, but having one in the other room tells me it's not really that bulky. I wish Crosman had use a more "generic" design, or borrowed from their own parts stable, for the barrel band/pump attachment point/whateveryouwanttocallit. Would have probably made things easier for making a wood stock version or for folks like us who like to modify things. I still need to get some punches and replace my valve and piston. It started leaking after I left the gun in the attic for a few cold nights.

Spent some time with the Notos today.  I polished the contact points on the trigger mechinism, which smoothed things out a bit.  I also got a set of flip-up iron sights for it.  These are the iron sights that should have come with it!  Elevation is adjustable on the front sight and windage is adjutable on the rear sight.  These are also fiber optic, so they should be pretty visible in the daytime. 

They arrived after dark, so I just mounted them, but have not zeroed it yet.  With these sights on, the scope I had mounted doesn't fit, so I mounted an Aim 2-7X42 Scout Scope.  This has a huge eye relief, so it can be mounted well forward on the Picatinny Rail  It's also a quick release, so can be easily removed.  I'm thinking of zeroing the scope at 40 yards and the irons at 20 yards!

That’s really nice 👍

I firgured the flip up battle sites would be a better fit for the notos.

check out this little trick I discovered

Awesome!   I'm going to have to store mine there!

 Didn't read that in the instruction manual. Maybe it was in the Chinese instructions

Not in Manual, Ancient Chinese Secret they didn't even know existed, 

You know I just realized that I'm sticking my SST in a hole in the Butt,

I'm sorry Kevin, butt that's just WRONG!!!   

So, was rummaging through my junk drawer today and came upon a couple things I for got I had.  I now have the Ultimate Tactical-Cool Notos!

Iron sights sighted to 12 yards, Red Dot is at 20 yards!  Beady eyed vermin better beware!

The one I found in my junk drawer!  LOL!  I really have no idea, I do know there are quite a few to choose from on Amazon, which is where I most likely found it.  And, I usually buy the cheapest one of whatever I'm looking for, so I doubt I paid that much for it!  I like to think of myself as frugal, not cheap!  My wife tends to disagree...
