Umarex Notos CRK Review

[2A Georgia]

The Notos mods sure have taken off! Here are three guns ready to go back to their owners, all sorts of cool parts have come out lately,

The middle gun is fun, it has the plenum kit and the moderator housing delete BUT the moderator itself has been threaded and reattached to the barrel adapter. No need for an aftermarket moderator, no need to thread the barrel and a minimum of non-reversible mods done to your gun.

Can you send a picture of the middle AG without the moderator?  How hard is it to DIY remove the moderator?
Wondering if the Notos could be a holstered pistol format....
Might buy a second one if so...

A guy on AGN shortened the barrel and tube on his. I think he took about 2" off the tube. That's what I'd like to do if I can find somebody to shorten and re-thread my tube.

Idk if he holsters it or not though.

Sorry, that gun has been sent back to its home.

Is it hard to remove the moderator housing? No... if you have a lathe. Yes... if you only have hand tools.

YES! The Notos can be made to be a holstered pistol. I would decide on a barrel length, cut the barrel down, grab the ebay Umarex Notos 1/2x20 UNF Shroud Adapter, cut the shroud to match the length of the chosen moderator to end where the air tank ends. The barrel would be perhaps 8" long but it would be much more compat.

The shroud? I do that, shoot me a PM for details.

Thanks for the candid reply.  I only have hand tools so DIY is out.  Had a Chandit pp800r in my AG Archery Fun cart and with shipping it was $200 so I went back to Pyramid and refreshed my view of the Jet 1 for $200....Decided to let Memsahib know I want a GK1 and hold my breathe while continuing to wish....

Yeah, I don't even have the balls to tell Betty Lou I want one.

You can let her shoot one on Wednesday and then have her tell you she wants one!  You gotta work every angle!

I did get her to shoot the Gamo Jumper when it was my first AG...
She won't touch my PBs.
When I mention an AG she just rolls her eyes....lol

Fell off the wagon and bottled my Notos yesterday!

 I have had the parts to bottle my Notos before I got mine, been shooting it so much have not gotten to it, and may just keep the tube for the compactness. The bottle may replace a heavy AL bottle on another rifle.

How is the drop block attached to the receiver?
If with screws, do the holes in the drop block match those in the receiver?

Looks like the Z block, Nice!

No, there is a 16mm male threaded airblock that the Z block screws to.

Nice! How does that reg work? Looks cleaner than the traditional type regs.
Is it shorter overall than running a separate reg and block setup?

[Firewalker]

I like to post all the cool stuff you can do to the Notos but there are a few things that aren't so cool.

Watch out for Monday morning parts hardening.

Here is a hammer I had to replace this week. The one on the left is hardened and the one on the right was not.

If you are having trouble cocking your gun because the sear wont engage with the hammer, it may be your hammer. I'm in conversation with Umarex but dont get your hopes up, they dont like modifications.

Screws on the same place the tube it replaces screws on.

Reg working great so far. Haven’t messed with the reg yet. When I filled it was set 90 Mpa perfect for back yard work. 680/670 fps.
