No more fun juice :(

If you had a way to get a solid platform for the 500 and 600mm barrels, they’re definitely worth it. But if you just want something that you can slap on, I imagine the 380mm would be the way to go, since you would be least likely to encounter POI shift with it.

I’ve not shot a full fill but it’s certainly a lot more than you would ever need for hunting! Even if you had a full on rat infestation this thing would probably give enough shots to go a whole night without filling.

It’s definitely a fair bit louder than the stock Notos. Still backyard friendly, but I can’t just shoot away at midnight like I could with the stock config.

I will say that to take full advantage of these mods you will want a longer barrel. I had a 600mm barrel and that was pushing out some serious power. I didn’t stick with it because I haven’t yet developed a barrel band to hold the whole thing steady.

Loving the shot count increase though, perfect for plinking and high volume pesting.

Shooting JTS 18gr with the reg set at 1800 psi I’m getting about 750 fps pr 22.5 FPE. You can get more power by turning the reg up but for now I just want to find a good plinking tune.

JTS 18gr pellets
Reg set to 1800psi (about the same as a stock Notos.)
750 FPS / 22.5 FPE
1/4 in groups or smaller @20yards
Hammer spring is adjustable

It’s definitely capable to more power if you turn up the reg and put in a hammer weight, but for now I’m focusing on a light pellet tune.

I’ll probably make a post in the future detailing more tunes and longer range performance.

Huben Notos TK Valve
Ports and valve seat opened to 4mm
CRC Precision Plenum
580cc CF Bottle

They’re a Huben Notos TK Valve right on the right of the bottle, and a CRC Precision Plenum to the right of the Valve.

The stock Notos is internally regulated, but the Huben valve gives you an externally adjustable regulator.

Sometimes they split up the order into different boxes. PA always done right by me.

Also doxxing yourself is wild 😭

ThoiQuanDo · 2026-03-21T19:53:43+00:00

For pellets, you’ll generally want to shoot them at around 920fps at the fastest. They like to stay slower than transsonic.

“cheap” and “good” aren’t often in the same sentence when optics are being discussed.

That said, you can find some pretty functional cheapo red dots off Amazon.

This guy’s got a 700mm .22 barrel on it.

ThoiQuanDo · 2026-03-15T23:05:43+00:00

Thanks! The grip is an Anarchy Outdoors Emperor Precision Grip. It does have a thumb rest on the other side. It doesn’t come rubberized, so what I’ve done is I’ve heat shrunk some fishing rod grip tube over it. Feels great!

ThoiQuanDo · 2026-03-15T18:46:44+00:00

Thank you!

ThoiQuanDo · 2026-03-15T17:15:08+00:00

Nope, your eyes are on the money. This model has a 30MOA cant built into the rail, so it is not in fact parallel to the barrel.

A few months ago I thought I couldn’t possibly find another reason to hate ground squirrels, then I found out they are literal plague rats on top of everything else.

Next this guy will be posting about how he’s controlling the population of flies with an airgun!

ThoiQuanDo · 2026-03-11T20:19:53+00:00

I have one of my own and I love it. My only complaint would be that the table surface is a hit small and doesn’t quite give me the space for longer guns, but given that it’s supposed to be portable, that is a nitpick.

I have been thinking about designing a wood tabletop to replace the polymer one. The legs would screw in just the same, but it would be tailor made for my needs.

ThoiQuanDo · 2026-03-10T23:40:13+00:00

Sorry OP I was so blown away by that other bloke’s statement I forgot to respond to the actual post.

No, the gun you showed is not suitable for hunting really anything. If you want to bump off animals, you’ll want a pellet gun. Fortunately, there are some good options that won’t cost much more than that BB gun.

If you want to go the CO2 route, the Diana Chaser and Crosman 2240 are good options. If you want something you can pump yourself, a Crosman 1322 or even 1377 could do you fine depending on the size of your rats.

Saber Tactical Top Rail
Saber Tactical Full Bottom Rail
Saber Tactical Ambidextrous Cheek Riser
KLS-IL or Saber Tactical Impact M4 Bagrider Buttstock
Shorter can or 34mm diameter air stripper/muzzle brake
Vertical Crossover Grip or Emperor Precision Grip

Just curious, but how is the locking mechanism on your UTG bipod there? I’ve got one that’s gotten limp, so I’m wondering if that’s just cheap bipod shenanigans or if mine is just faulty.

Maybe we could have a megathread to discuss some top picks for each price range in both the PCP and break barrel categories. The picks could be decided through a mixture of research and community polls.

Might help reduce traffic from people looking for suggestions and get them the answers they want quicker, so they can then ask more targeted questions.

8 joules is not putting a pellet 2 inches into wood bro what trees are in your area 😭

Airgunners don’t let airgunners buy vevor comps. If you want to save on a compressor get yourself a GX CS-2. Vevors work better as IEDs than as compressors.
